“…Risk factors are characteristics of the environment (e.g., family and community violence, low SES, low access to resources) or of the person (e.g., biological vulnerability or handicap, low education, low frustration tolerance, mental illness, low social skills) that increase the probability of physical, emotional, and social problems, creating vulnerability to adverse situations in the process of development (Koller et al, 2018;Poletto & Koller, 2008). In contrast, protective factors are characteristics of the person (e.g., social, professional, or coping skills) or the sociocultural context (e.g., good relations with family and friends, public policies that ensure human rights) that alleviate personal or contextual risk consequences.…”

“…Beyond the basic distinction between the Global South and North, the particular characteristics of a country are important because they tend to significantly influence youth experiences. For instance, factors such as socioeconomic status (SES), work environment, and rates of community violence distinctly affect youth cross-culturally (Koller et al, 2018). However, as most research is conducted by researchers in the Global North (Thalmayer et al, 2020) with WEIRD samples (Western, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic), the conclusions about youth experiences might be severely restricted to specific contexts.…”

“…The agenda offers a starting point for educators to begin to collaborate with youth, schools, and communities and to initiate a research agenda that should extend well beyond 2030 to ensure that progress is made towards addressing and achieving appropriate development. According to experts, the agenda calls for, among other things, the transformation of education so that young people, schools, and the wider community can be actively involved in the goals of SD [3,36,[38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45].…”

Emphasis on the balance between human needs and the carrying capacity of these needs in the context of sustainable development (SD) is present in interdisciplinary study programs and the content of higher education in Slovakia. In the theoretical part of this paper, we present the media as a tool that expands the possibilities of schools in the field of education about SD. It is proven to help school activities draw attention to the situation and problems of SD and to spread the reported problems outside the school space. We examine the practical dimension of the issue of individual responsibility for the world and SD through our own research. The aim is to analyze the individual tasks of sustainable human behavior from the perspective of university students. The research findings provide the current view of young respondents on the roles and individual responsibilities that exist for SD. They also answered in which of the four dimensions defined by the “National strategy for SD of the Slovak republic” the researched students see the greatest need for individual responsibility.

This study aimed to identify the main patterns of alcohol and tobacco consumption among adolescents and its risk factors. Participants were 208 eighth, ninth, and tenth-grade students (65.3% female, 34.7% male) in Maputo, Mozambique, whose ages ranged from 12 to 18 years old (M=14.88; SD=1.29). The study sought to investigate the association between sociodemographic features, academic performance, positive and negative beliefs about drugs, and its consumption patterns among teenagers in Mozambique through network analyses. The results showed high alcohol consumption with early-onset, in the age group ranging from 11 to 13 years old. The frequency of tobacco consumption is related to understanding the positive aspects of smoking, expansiveness, and confidence. The present study contributes to the knowledge of the prevalence of these substances’ consumption in the school community. It may be useful to design strategies for prevention and intervention on alcohol and tobacco consumption by adolescents. The key limitations are the sample exclusively from Maputo and the cross-sectional design. Future studies should thus investigate the patterns of licit and illicit drug consumption among teenagers from other places and use a longitudinal design.
