I describe behavior with impact on health in adolescents against the background of characteristics of the Swedish society and analyse possible areas for improvement. A total of 4500 adolescents, aged 13-18 yr, in seven areas answered an anonymous questionnaire. Their socioeconomic backgrounds reflected mainstream adolescents. The response rate was 80-85%. Questions concerned health habits, exploratory behaviors regarding sexuality, use of alcohol and tobacco, problem behaviors, such as getting drunk, and life quality. There was very little experimentation with regard to health habits learned in childhood. Rapid adaptation to adult life-styles occurred, which was similar in both sexes in the younger age groups, but there were significant differences among older students. Alcohol use is of considerable concern. Adolescent prediction of future behavior indicated that negative behaviors require intervention. Parental influence on adolescent behavior needs to be explored. Peer groups could be an additional area for intervention.
我在瑞典社会特征的背景下描述了对青少年健康有影响的行为，并分析了可能需要改进的方面。七个地区的4500名13至18岁青少年回答了一份匿名问卷。他们的社会经济背景反映了主流青少年群体。回复率为80%-85%。问题涉及健康习惯、性探索行为、酒精和烟草使用、诸如醉酒等问题行为以及生活质量。在童年时期学到的健康习惯方面几乎没有尝试。迅速适应成人生活方式的情况出现了，这在较年轻年龄组的男女中相似，但在年龄较大的学生中存在显著差异。酒精使用令人相当担忧。青少年对未来行为的预测表明，负面行为需要干预。需要探索父母对青少年行为的影响。同龄人群体可能是另一个干预领域。
