“…On multivariate analysis, family problems had a statistical association to low academic performance (36.9% v 25.9%), depression (47.9% v 23.1%) and suicidal thoughts (100% v 15.6%) along with substance abuse (58.5% v 27%) and pre marital sexual activity (79.4% v 24.4%). It is seen that adolescents with family dispute where parents are not taking care of the basic needs like books and clothes are more vulnerable to school and academic problems which is in accordance to study done by Arun and Chavan (2009) 20 . Poor inter parental relationships and stressful family environment with lack of parental supervision and intellectual stimulation negatively aff ects the school performance in adolescents as was also found by Munni and Malhi (2001) in their study in Chandigarh adolescents 21 .…”

Introduction:Accepting and supportive family relationships during childhood and adolescence may have long-term associations with psychosocial functioning into adulthood. Cross-sectional studies provide evidence by which positive family relationships promote adolescent health by increasing the likelihood of positive outcomes including higher educational and occupational attainment and reducing the risk for negative outcomes including suicidal behaviour and poor health. Materials and Methods: The sample consisted of 500 male adolescents from the urban and rural field practice areas in the vicinity of Sri Guru Ram Das Medical College Amritsar. Cross sectional study was conducted to examine the relation between familial conflict problems and psychosocial/behavioural disorders in adolescents. Results: Almost one third (33%) adolescents were having parental and family dispute problems. These problems were significantly higher in middle adolescence (14-16 years), adolescents of large extended families (>8 members) and in lower socioeconomic status. Residence had no significant relation to family problems in the adolescents. On correlation, poor and unhealthy family atmosphere had more chances in adolescents of having greater academic problems, depression, suicidal thoughts, substance abuse and more sexual activity. Conclusion: Family involvement, family structure, parental values, parental monitoring and parent-child communication are important factors influencing critical life choices in teens. The family support and communication should be improved through these education programs to develop healthy psychosocial and sexual attitudes and counteract unsafe behaviours in the adolescents. Future research is needed to identify additional pathways underlying this association, and the extent to which these factors are modifiable.

“…Though the determinants of low-grade inflammation are not fully elucidated in India [9,10], psychological stress could explain yet another factor responsible for this. A high prevalence of psychological distress was also observed among the participants, which concords with previous reports on prevalence (46%) among students of government-run schools in India [45,46]. Based on adult cutoff of CRP, we found that 18% of participants were at moderate risk and 7% were at high risk of inflammation.…”

“…To mention a few, firstly, adolescents in India do not enjoy good health and a 3 month period prevalence documented that 81% of them had illness with 60% needing psychological help [11]. Other studies too have reported that 31-46% of adolescents have significant psychosocial problems that need expert help [12,13]. These mental health problems have the potential to frequently persist into adulthood generating substantial functional impairment and subsequent social burden [14], if they are not identified and treated early [15].…”

India has a sizeable adolescent population. Adolescents constitute a vulnerable population for both mental and physical illnesses, and yet their health-care needs and delivery systems are neither well defined nor developed. Many of the mental, reproductive and nutritional health needs of this population are required to be addressed and can be addressed in the primary-care pediatric setting itself if the current system of health-care can be re-organized. This restructuring will be more effective for this population if adolescent friendly approaches, public-private partnership and policy as well as sectoral linkage between the NRHM and other national programs are achieved. The health program for this age group should have promotive and preventive as well as remedial and curative components. Also, improving the availability of trained personnel in these areas of health, culturally sensitive evidence based approaches and capacity building in the primary-care approach is essential to ensure the viability of adolescent health-care in this country.
