Health concerns of high school students in the 10th grade and again in the 12th grade were studied. The students filled out an anonymous questionnaire that included a list of 73 concerns. At both ages their main concerns were reportedly related to school. Concerns relating to army service ranked high particularly in the 12th grade, among both sexes. Concerns relating to sexual relations were frequent among boys at both ages, whereas concerns about mood and loneliness were more frequent among girls. Reports on physical concerns were frequently related to height among the younger boys and weight and diet among girls of both ages. Concerns were grouped into 6 domains. In each of them, except for sexuality, girls had more concerns. A significant decline in the number of concerns was noted from the first to the second survey, indicating a partial resolution of the issues central to adolescent development. Knowledge about concerns of adolescents may help health care providers in counseling and health education program planning.
对十年级和十二年级的高中生的健康问题进行了研究。学生们填写了一份匿名问卷，其中包括一份73项问题的清单。据报道，在这两个年龄段，他们主要关心的问题都与学校有关。与服兵役相关的问题在十二年级的男女生中排名都很高。与性关系相关的问题在两个年龄段的男孩中都很常见，而与情绪和孤独感相关的问题在女孩中更常见。关于身体问题的报告在较年轻的男孩中经常与身高有关，在两个年龄段的女孩中则与体重和饮食有关。问题被分为6个领域。在每个领域中，除了性方面，女孩有更多的问题。从第一次调查到第二次调查，问题数量显著下降，这表明青少年发展核心问题得到了部分解决。了解青少年关心的问题可能有助于医疗保健提供者进行咨询和健康教育项目规划。
