OBJECTIVES:To examine school-and student-level correlates of physical activity. METHODS:Cross-sectional Year 2 data collected from 45 298 grade 9-12 students attending 89 secondary schools in the COMPASS study were examined using multi-level modelling to predict the likelihood of students a) achieving 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) daily; and b) achieving the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology (CSEP) activity guideline for youth (60 minutes/MVPA daily, vigorous physical activity at least three days in a week, and resistance training at least three days in a week). RESULTS:The prevalence of students achieving 60 minutes of MVPA daily and meeting the CSEP guideline was 49.3% and 31.0% respectively. Modest between-school variability was identified (1.1% for 60 minutes MVPA and 0.8% for CSEP guideline). School-level characteristics significantly associated with the outcome measures included location, school size, quality of facilities, and accessibility of facilities. Significant student-level correlates included sex, grade, weekly income, binge drinking, fruit and vegetable consumption, and body mass index. CONCLUSIONS:Most youth in this large study reported inadequate physical activity levels. Students were more likely to achieve 60 minutes of MVPA if they attended a larger school or a school in an urban location, whereas students were less likely to meet the CSEP guideline if they attended a school in a small urban location. However, student-level factors, such as binge drinking and inadequate fruit and vegetable consumption, were more strongly associated with the outcomes examined.KEY WORDS: Physical activity; adolescent; schools; environment design La traduction du résumé se trouve à la fin de l'article.

“…The process of linking the stu dent data across waves is described in more detail by Qian and colleagues. 30 Due to the rolling sample design, 28 it was not possible to link the Grade 12 students in Y 1 or the Grade 12 students in Y 2 that graduated, or the Grade 9 students that were newly admitted to schools in Y 3 . The other main reasons for nonlinkage included students transferring schools, absent or on spares, dropping out of school, or inaccu rate or missing data provided in the link age measures.…”

Introduction The longitudinal relationship between binge drinking and academic engagement, performance, and future aspirations and expectations was examined among a cohort of secondary school students.. Methods In separate multinomial generalized estimating equations models, linked data from Year 1 (Y1: 2012-2013), Year 2 (Y2: 2013-2014), and Year 3 (Y3: 2014-2015) of the COMPASS study (N = 27 112) were used to test the relative likelihood of responses to seven academic indices when binge drinking was initiated in varying frequencies, adjusting for gender, grade, race/ethnicity, tobacco use, and the individual mean of the predictor and all time-varying covariates. Results Among students who had never engaged in binge drinking at baseline, those who reported regular binge drinking at follow-up were relatively less likely to complete their homework, attend class, and value and achieve high grades, with more frequent binge drinking at follow-up generally resulting in larger relative risk ratios. Interestingly, shifting from “never” to “rare/sporadic” binge drinking one to two years later resulted in an increased relative risk of wanting to pursue all levels of postsecondary education. Beginning binge drinking on a “monthly” basis also increased the likelihood of college/ trade or bachelor degree ambitions, relative to high school, but not graduate/professional pathways; while degree aspirations were not associated with initiating weekly binge drinking. Conclusion Results suggest students who initiate binge drinking have poor school performance and engagement, which may interfere with achieving their future academic goals. This study reinforces the reasons substance use prevention should be considered an academic priority, as such efforts may also prove beneficial for educational achievement.

Introduction Les taux d’obésité chez les jeunes ne cessent d’augmenter au Canada. Dans cette étude, nous avons réalisé des estimations conservatrices des calories excédentaires susceptibles de découler de la consommation d’alcool en fonction des habitudes de consommation courantes chez les jeunes Canadiens, afin de déterminer si la consommation d’alcool devrait être prise en compte dans les futures stratégies de prévention de l’obésité. Méthodologie Des données portant sur 10 144 élèves de 12e année ayant participé à l’étude COMPASS (2013-2014) ont été utilisées pour estimer l’apport calorique annuel provenant de la consommation d’alcool. Pour effectuer nos estimations, nous avons classé les boissons alcoolisées en trois catégories, en fonction de leur teneur moyenne en calories (coolers à base de vodka; bière 5 %; bière 4 %, vin et spiritueux) et de la fréquence de consommation et d'abus occasionnel d’alcool (ou hyperalcoolisation rapide). Résultats Les résultats ont indiqué un apport calorique potentiel élevé chez les élèves qui s’adonnaient aux abus occasionnels d’alcool, ainsi qu’une forte variabilité dans les estimations de l’apport calorique en fonction des habitudes de consommation courantes associées aux différents types de boisson. Par exemple, 27,2 % des élèves s’adonnaient à un abus occasionnel d’alcool une fois par mois, ce qui représente une consommation de 6 000 à 13 200 calories par année (soit 0,78 à 1,71 kg de gras). Pour les 4,9 % d’élèves qui s’adonnaient à un abus occasionnel d’alcool deux fois par semaine, le nombre de calories consommées en une année se situerait entre 52 000 et 114 400 (soit 6,74 à 14,83 kg de gras). Conclusion Les recommandations en vigueur pour la prévention de l’obésité chez les jeunes ne tiennent généralement pas compte de la consommation d’alcool. Étant donné à la fois les taux élevés de consommation d’alcool et d'abus occasionnels d’alcool fréquents chez les jeunes mis en lumière dans cette étude et la grande quantité de calories que contiennent les boissons alcoolisées, tenir compte de la consommation d’alcool dans les efforts de prévention de l’obésité chez les jeunes serait pertinent.
