Youths in Papua New Guinea are influenced to commit crimes due to rapid social, political, and economic changes in the country. Nearly half of Papua New Guinea's population of 8.8 million are under the age of 18. Youths are motivated to commit crimes due to factors like poor academic performance, difficult family relationships, lack of parental supervision, substance abuse issues, and mental health problems. To reduce crime rates, Papua New Guinea should create targeted prevention programs, avoid overly repressive policies, address crime from a public health perspective, increase early childhood education, and find a balance between prevention and law enforcement.

This document summarizes key points from the UK's new alcohol strategy. It focuses on preventing underage drinking and binge drinking among youth. The strategy aims to delay regular drinking onset among 11-15 year olds, reduce harms for young drinkers, and create a culture where youth feel they can have fun without alcohol. It will provide guidance on safe drinking levels and launch a social marketing campaign to shift social norms. The government will also convene experts to review evidence on alcohol's health effects on youth development.

This document argues that mental health education should be mandatory curriculum in U.S. schools. It notes that mental illness is the leading cause of disability among those aged 15-44 and is disproportionately impacting marginalized communities. The document advocates for mental health education to reduce stigma, allow early detection and prevention, and help address societal issues like incarceration and economic deprivation that stem from unmet mental health needs. Implementing mental health education in high schools in a way similar to physical education could help prevent dropout rates and create a healthier society with lower prevalence of mental illness.

The document discusses the need for comprehensive sexuality education and youth friendly reproductive health services in Indonesia. It notes that two-thirds of comprehensive sex education programs studied had positive effects, but that reproductive health education and youth friendly services in Indonesia are still limited. It calls for revisions to marriage and population laws to create a more supportive regulatory environment, as well as a more supportive environment through families, society, government, and media to address why young people engage in sexual activity without sufficient information or access to services.

Chyps policy paper young people & health
The document discusses young people's health and the importance of meeting their needs as a discrete group. It outlines the following key points:
1) Adolescence involves significant physiological and emotional changes that services must be skilled in addressing, like building resilience to issues like risky behavior, substance abuse, and mental health.
2) Relationships with authority figures are less helpful during adolescence's "chaos" so supportive adult role models are needed.
3) Issues during adolescence have potential for great impact on adult lives, so ignoring or mishandling them sets youth up for difficulties.
Health and Wellbeing Boards should consider soft outcomes over just data and view preventative and developmental aspects as important
A CASE OF AGE-APPROPRIATE COMPREHENSIVE SEXUALITY EDUCATION (AACSE)
A CASE OF AGE-APPROPRIATE COMPREHENSIVE SEXUALITY EDUCATION (AACSE) National Organization of Peer Educators (NOPE Kenya)
This document discusses the need for age-appropriate comprehensive sexuality education (AACSE) for young people in order to address high HIV infection rates. It notes that young people lack information and have misconceptions about sexuality due to declining parental guidance. AACSE can help young people delay sexual activity, reduce risky behavior, and prevent unwanted pregnancy and STIs. However, there are still gaps in access to information and barriers like cultural myths that sexuality education encourages early sex or is inappropriate. The document recommends a multi-sectoral approach to AACSE, strengthening coordination, and incorporating sexuality education into education policies to reverse HIV trends among youth.Result
According to a survey of 266 people in Brunei Darussalam, 54% were female and 46% male. The main social issues identified were drugs, unwanted pregnancy, smoking, and corrupted morals. Most females (35%) thought the biggest problem was drug abuse, while most males (41%) thought smoking was the largest issue. Both genders agreed that those aged 11-20 were most at risk. The government is recommended to take more action to restrict youth involvement in these problems, and community campaigns should raise awareness of the consequences. In conclusion, while drugs, pregnancy, and morals were overall issues, smoking disproportionately impacts male youth in Brunei.

Valentina Restrepo Hernández presented on teenage pregnancy. Teenage pregnancy is defined as pregnancy in adolescent females between early adolescence and late adolescence, which is ages 10 to 19. In the presenter's country, one in six births is to women under 19 years old. There are multiple causes of teenage pregnancy, including lack of information about contraception, lower socioeconomic status, and having a mother who was also a teenage mother. The presenter expresses the opinion that teenage pregnancy is not a mistake but rather a blessing, but that teenagers are not prepared emotionally or financially for parenthood.
Adolescent Health Programme.pptx
The document discusses adolescent health programs in India. It defines adolescence as ages 10-19 and youth as ages 15-24. Over 33% of adult disease burden and nearly 60% of premature deaths are associated with behaviors beginning in adolescence, such as tobacco, alcohol, and risky sex. The document outlines several government programs to address adolescent health, including the Rashtriya Kishor Swasthya Karyakram (RKSK) focusing on life skills, nutrition, injuries, violence, and mental health. It describes interventions like adolescent friendly health clinics, counselling, outreach activities, iron and folic acid supplementation, and menstrual hygiene schemes.
GLOBAL INITIATIVE FOR MENTAL HEALTH
The document discusses the Global Mental Health Initiative and mental health in the Philippines. The Global Mental Health Initiative aims to improve services for people with mental health issues worldwide, especially in low- and middle-income countries where services are often limited. Mental health issues receive less attention than physical health issues, especially in developing countries. However, mental and physical health are linked. The World Health Organization promotes strengthening mental health treatment globally. In the Philippines, a new mental health law was signed to establish a national policy and provide services at the community level to improve population mental health.

Adolescent Health: No Longer Hidden_Mychelle Farmer_4.25.13
The document discusses the importance of addressing youth health and development globally. It notes that 43% of the world's population is under 25, with the fastest growth occurring in low and middle income countries. The Millennium Development Goals introduced in 2000 had implications for youth health that remain unmet, such as reducing maternal mortality and improving reproductive health for young women. 40% of new HIV infections occur in youth aged 15-24, and adolescent health risks like violence, substance abuse, and early pregnancy are ongoing global problems. The document calls for a renewed focus on adolescents in the post-2015 global health agenda through cross-sectoral collaboration and empowering youth participation.
Mdg 5
This document discusses the limitations of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in achieving comprehensive sexual and reproductive health and rights. It summarizes that while the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) took a human rights-based approach, the MDGs adopted in 2000 focused only on narrow, target-oriented technical solutions like reducing maternal mortality. For India in particular, gains made after ICPD to expand reproductive health were reduced under the MDGs to only monitoring maternal mortality and skilled birth attendance. The document calls for a post-2015 agenda that places sexual and reproductive health and rights within the social determinants of health and emphasizes economic and social justice in service delivery.
Health educ. res. 2014-park-her cyu069
This document summarizes formative research conducted to understand school health environments and stakeholder perceptions of school health in four countries. Key findings include:
1) Interviews with teachers, government workers and parents in Lao PDR, Mongolia, Nepal and Sri Lanka identified six themes around insufficient resources leading to suboptimal health conditions.
2) At the individual level, cold weather and poor diet were issues due to lack of personal resources. At the school level, lack of water purifiers, latrines and other physical resources were discussed.
3) Interviewees also pointed to schools' overdependence on external resources and lack of sustainability, as well as shortages of health services at the school and community level.

This document presents a community teaching plan aimed at preventing risky behaviors among adolescents. The plan was implemented through teaching a single neighboring adolescent. The goals were to increase participation in extracurricular activities and provide adolescents with supportive figures. Epidemiological data showed high rates of depression, substance abuse, STIs, and other issues among adolescents, demonstrating a need for prevention efforts. The teaching covered cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains. The adolescent was engaged and met the learning objectives, suggesting the plan was successfully evaluated.
Juvenile and the Abuse
Recent studies have revealed common risk factors for adolescent drug abuse and deliquency. The relationship between substance abuse and juvenile deliquency sketches a bleak portrait of juvenile justice system overwhelmed by drug and alcohol abusing and addicted 10 "“ to -17- years old. Juvenile crime is one of the nation' serious problems. Government policy on juvenile deliquency must often struggle with the balance of concern over the healthy developments of children and adolescents who violate the law and public desire to punish the criminals. Neverthless, children and adolescents who commit criminal acts must be educated and supported in a growth process. A number of cognitive and social features of childhood and adolescene influence the context of juvenile crime policy. They were likely to have been neglected and abuse by parents. Many had grown up in impoverished and dangerous neighborhoods. Schools, teachers, and administrators had been unable to engage them. The provider' had failed to diagnose their problems. It further gives the high rate of drug use among deliquents, drug-abuse intervention and treatment programs clearly needed for deliquent populations. This paper explores the linking about adolescent drug ue and deliquency, distinguihing factors, implications for preventions and treatment.

Substance abuse
Substance abuse, especially of alcohol and drugs, is a significant and growing problem in South Africa. Drug use rates are double the world average, and drug abuse contributes to 60% of crimes. Teenage substance abuse is also high, with half of schoolchildren experimenting with drugs as early as age 12. Preventing and addressing substance abuse requires efforts at the individual, family, school, and community levels through education, building life skills, enforcing rules, providing treatment, and promoting pro-social activities to support youth.

This document discusses promoting wellbeing and embracing positive sexual health for children and young people. It notes that tackling inequalities in childhood can reduce health issues later in life. Schools will now be required by law to promote students' wellbeing, including protecting them from harm. The UK ranks poorly compared to other countries in measures of child wellbeing such as risky behaviors like unprotected sex and drinking. Embracing positive sexual health for youth requires participation and guidance to help lower risks while supporting youth development.
world mental health day 2011
Mental illnesses are highly prevalent worldwide but most countries allocate less than 2% of their health budgets to mental health. Effective and low-cost treatments are available but there is a treatment gap of over 75% in many low- and middle-income countries. Investing in mental health is important for several reasons: the burden of mental illness is huge and costs societies enormous amounts, mental health is essential for economic development, and some interventions have been shown to be highly cost-effective "best buys" that can reduce future health costs. Without adequate investment in mental health services and supports, individuals and societies cannot reach their full potential.

PREGNACY
Teenage pregnancy refers to pregnancy in girls aged 13 to 19. When teenagers become parents, they often face implications for their education, employment opportunities, income, and independence as they may rely on family or welfare support. Teenage pregnancy can also negatively impact the health of the young mother and child due to increased biological risks. While teenage pregnancy has been a long-standing issue, the Teenage Pregnancy Strategy introduced in 1999 aimed to reduce pregnancies in girls under 18 and has succeeded in lowering the conception rate by 13.3% from 1998 levels.
Special Issues.pptx
The document discusses key issues regarding public health, education, and housing in the Philippines. For public health, it outlines improvements in health indicators and insurance coverage but persisting challenges in communicable diseases, non-communicable diseases, and disaster preparedness. For education, it describes the tripartite system and issues of quality, budget, and skills mismatch. For housing, it notes a large backlog and issues of poverty, land access, and unclear policies. Addressing these complex, interrelated problems will require coordinated efforts across sectors to ultimately reduce poverty in the Philippines.

The Members of the WHO/UNFPA/UNICEF Study Group on Programming for Adolescent Health emphasized the crucial need for the three agencies to provide complementary support to countries, by working within a common technical framework, in order to strengthen and expand the activities in countries aimed at promoting adolescent health in a more systematic fashion. The Common Agenda for Action encourages the three UN agencies with principal interest and experience in the area of adolescent health, to support activities in countries in complementary ways. The Common Agenda is intended to reflect the policies of the three agencies and serve as a basis for discussion at country level in the determination of their support of country-level programming. It also provides specific suggestions for collaborative activities to advance programming for adolescents at different levels.Juvenile deliquency
This document discusses juvenile delinquency, including its definition, causes, characteristics, prevention, and legal measures.

Alcohol education - NICE evidence statements
1. Interventions targeting alcohol use are most effective when delivered to both schools and families, especially those focusing on social development. Programs combining these elements can have long-term positive impacts on behaviors like alcohol and drug use.
2. Effective school-based programs include Botvin's LST and others like Project Northland which produce long-term reductions in alcohol use. However, classroom education alone has inconsistent effects.
3. Family-based programs such as Iowa Strengthening Families can significantly reduce alcohol use long-term. Effective family programs target communication and parental monitoring.
Antidrug campaign
Anti-drug campaigns from the 1970s to the early 2000s that used scare tactics and propaganda had little impact on reducing teen drug use. These campaigns have now been shown to be ineffective and a waste of the billions of dollars spent. Current approaches focus on community-based prevention programs and treating drug abuse as a health issue rather than a moral failing.

Youth and crime 2
- 1. YOUTHS AND CRIME Youths is the period between the childhood and adult whereas crime is an action or omission that constitutes an offence that may be prosecuted by the state and it is punished by law. Crime throughout Papua New Guinea has been influenced mainly by rapid social, political and economic change. Papua New Guinea has a population of 8.8 million, nearly half of these population is under age of 18. This essay simply going to talk about the main things that causes these issues to arise and what can be done to minimize these issues.
- 2. There is no simple reason why youths always cause crime in Papua New Guinea. These are some of the circumstances that arise to motivates youths to cause the crime; not doing well in school difficult family relationship lacks of boundary and parental supervision having friends who commits crime drugs and alcohol misuse mental health issues, such as attention deficient and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
- 3. These are some of the ways to slow down the rate of crimes in Papua New Guinea; create well-targeted programmes avoid repressive policies treat crime as a public health be proactive find balance between repression and prevention raised awareness of improvised explosive devices provide early childhood education
- 4. In summary I critically suggest that, it’s the duty of our communities leaders to face the members to fight for youths/our rights. For the parliamentarian they need to emphases on the rules or laws that they already implement.
