1. Many adolescents are experiencing less connection to protective influences like family, school, and church, while spending more time with peers and consuming media.
2. This has led to concerning rates of risky behaviors among adolescents like unintended pregnancy and abortion.
3. To support healthier development, efforts are needed to transform risk factors like disconnect from protective influences and peer pressure into protective factors, through open communication, reasonable limits, and encouraging self-discovery and creative expression.

Some young people have never known a world without social media. Around 91 percent of 16-24 year olds use the internet for social networking.They use social media now more than ever before. Give away information without thinking or knowing the consequences. Get sucked into a world of online games and dangerous online trends. There have even been cases where suicide games were trending online, that children all encouraged each other to participate in. It can be a dark and unpredictable place.
CHSC 431: Community Assessment
This Spring the students of CHSC 431: Community Assessment, a graduate-level core UIC School of Public Health class engaged in a collaborative learning experience with students and faculty at Pedro Albizu Campos Puerto Rican High School to conduct a community health assessment of Humboldt Park. The UIC SPH class of nearly 40 students broke into six groups of students to assess separate health areas identified by PACHS as important - gentrification/sense of belonging; issues of LGBTQ youth, physical activity, nutrition, young women's sexual/reproductive health, and health literacy/diabetes. Each group engaged in a mixed method
assessment modeling the assessment component of the Mobilizing Action through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP) process typically carried out by local health departments. Each group had at least two members engaged in an ongoing community learning experience so as to better discern community perspectives with respect to their health topic. The learning experience ranged from to engaging/facilitating small group learning to facilitating a schoolwide survey to volunteer coaching of a youth sports club. Existing quantitative data on population demographics, health status and health behavior were analyzed in light of qualitative data from key informant interviews, participant observation or focus groups (debriefing groups) gathered from community engaged learning experience characterizing/contextualizing the health topic. Preliminary findings were discussed at Humboldt Park Library 4/21 and 4/28.

‘transforming risk factors to protective
factors, HOW?’

of actions are needed to support
healthier adolescent development?

effective?

expression
