OBJECTIVES
The purpose of this study was to determine the relative importance adolescents place on preventive health behaviors.
METHODS
Data were from a survey of California adolescents (n = 5040). Respondents were asked how important it was to their peers to avoid drugs, marijuana, cigarettes, heavy drinking, and drinking and driving and to maintain seat belt use, fitness, weight control, and healthy eating habits. Results were compared with data from a similar national survey (n = 6126).
RESULTS
California teenagers perceived that their peers gave top priority to weight control: 85% of California teenagers believed that weight control was of high concern to girls in their age group. Avoiding drugs, not drinking and driving, and maintaining fitness ranked in the top five behaviors. The lowest ranked health behaviors were seat belt use, heavy drinking, and, last, eating healthily. In the national survey, healthy eating also ranked last. Although not identical in rank, teenage priorities for other health behaviors were consistent with the California results.
CONCLUSION
Efforts are needed to bring adolescent health norms more into line with the objective risks of their health choices during this critical period of socialization.
目标
本研究的目的是确定青少年对预防性健康行为的重视程度。
方法
数据来自对加利福尼亚青少年（n = 5040）的一项调查。受访者被问及避免吸毒、大麻、香烟、酗酒以及酒后驾车，保持使用安全带、健身、控制体重和健康饮食习惯对他们同龄人有多重要。结果与来自类似全国性调查（n = 6126）的数据进行了比较。
结果
加利福尼亚青少年认为他们的同龄人最优先考虑控制体重：85%的加利福尼亚青少年认为控制体重是他们这个年龄段女孩高度关注的问题。避免吸毒、不酒后驾车和保持健身排在前五项行为之中。排名最低的健康行为是使用安全带、酗酒，最后是健康饮食。在全国性调查中，健康饮食也排在最后。尽管排名不完全相同，但青少年对其他健康行为的优先考虑与加利福尼亚的结果一致。
结论
在这个关键的社会化时期，需要做出努力，使青少年健康规范更符合他们健康选择的客观风险。
