 “SCREEN TIME AND DEVELOPMENTAL HEALTH
RESULTS FROM AN EARLY CHILDHOOD STUDY IN
CANADA”
PROBLEM:
To assess if there are negative effects of having a longer
hours on screen time to the healthy development of
children.
FINDINGS:
The findings showed that children with more than one
hour of daily screen time were more likely to be
vulnerable in all five developmental health domain
compared to children reporting up to one hour of screen
time/day.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:
Screen time was assessed with the Childhood Experiences
Questionnaire. By the use of another instrument which is
the Early Development Instrument the developmental
vulnerability versus developmental health in five domains
(physical, social, emotional, language and cognition, and
communication skills) was assessed.
CONCLUSION:
There's a negative association for the developmental
health outcomes to young children who exceeds the
recommended one-hour screen time. Screen-based
activities should be limited for young children.
How are the findings of this research
useful to teachers?

 This research is helpful for teachers to conduct more developmentally

appropriate activities that will improve the children's creativity, brain
functioning, and academic skills. For the teachers to assess what approach
they can do to make learning more engaging for the children.

It was found that high levels of poverty and economic further research is needed to help improve the overall

 Bullying and other risk factors related to
adolescent suicidal behaviors in the
Philippines: a look into the 2011 GSHS Survey
PROBLEM:
Bullying and other risk factors related to adolescent
suicidal behaviors in the Philippines: a look into the 2011
GSHS Survey
FINDINGS:
The study suggests that Filipino adolescents were vulnerable to
thinking about and attempting suicide, and gender played a role
in such behavior in 2011. As predicted, bullying is an
independent predictor linked to adolescents’ suicidal ideation and
suicide attempts in both genders. Suggestions and interventions to
prevent adolescents’ bullying and suicidal behavior should
involve school teachers, parents, and the students themselves.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:
Survey (GSHS) conducted in 2011. The GSHS is a school-based survey that
is widely used across countries including low and low-medium income areas.
This survey was developed by the WHO, in collaboration with United Nations
Children’s Fund (UNICEF), The un this study utilized a quantitative design,
involving secondary analysis of existing data from the Philippines Global-
School Based Health united Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO) and the United Nations Joint Program on
HIV/AIDS UNAIDS. The GSHS aims to provide data on adolescents’
physical and mental health, social behavior and advocates developing
resources for school health programs and policies [49].
CONCLUSION:
The study involved a secondary analysis of the Philippines GSHS survey in
2011 which showed that gender differences, bullying and other risk factors
were associated with adolescent suicidal behavior (including ideation,
planning and attempts). Female students were at higher risk of engaging in
suicidal behaviors, particularly if exposed to risk factors such as bullying,
having no close friends, loneliness, and alcohol consumption. Male students
were more likely to engage in suicide attempts. The study identified several
risk factors in relation to suicidal behavior. Risk determinants include having
no close friends, loneliness, anxiety, getting in troubles due to alcohol use,
alcohol consumption, getting in fights, being bullied, being physically
attacked and truancy
How are the findings of this research
useful to teachers?
 Teachers are a great help to children to stop the bullying that happens inside the
school room. They can teach students good manners. Therefore, the research
finding can be useful to teachers; they can tell their students what the
consequence of bullying is.
PROBLEM:
Unhealthy food consumption in adolescence: role of
sedentary behaviours and modifiers in 11-, 13- and 15-
year-old Italians
FINDINGS:
Unhealthy food consumption was significantly associated
with a lower intake of fruit and vegetables and with the
increase of SBs in both sexes and in all ages. The risk was
interestingly higher in normal weight adolescents, in
those with wider relationships with peers and in low SES
children.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:
Data come from the Italian 2009–10 Health Behavior in
School-aged Children (HBSC) survey. Data on Eating
patterns, SBs, physical activity, peers network, BMI and
socio-economic status (SES) were collected following the
HBSC study protocol. Hierarchical logistic regression
models were used.
CONCLUSION:
This study adds evidence to support the importance of investing
more resources in educational initiatives both to increase parents’
awareness to support adolescents on dietary choices and on time
spent in screen-based behaviors, independently of their adiposity
status; and to develop youth’s ability to access and appropriately
use media and technologies. Policy makers should also increase
their attention on introducing regulatory policies on television
food advertising to which youth are exposed
How are the findings of this research
useful to teachers?
 It will help the Teachers to have an idea on how they will assist the children or
students in their healthy lifestyle, the Teachers are able to guide their students to
help their health more healthier during their adolescents. And also Teachers can be
the way to teach the students to develop their ability to engage or use technologies
appropriately.
 Teachers are able to connect to the parents of the children to give them a proper
advice or instructions so that the parents have an awareness to support the
adolescents on dietary choices.
 A School Intervention's Impact on
Adolescents' Health-Related Knowledge and
Behavior
PROBLEM:
A School Intervention's Impact on Adolescents' Health-
Related Knowledge and Behavior
FINDINGS:
Our health promotion program had a positive effect on the
students' health-related knowledge and health behavior in
the case of unhealthy eating, moderate to vigorous
physical activity, and alcohol consumption.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:
We performed our study at a secondary school in a rural town in East
Hungary between 2016 and 2020. Sessions about healthy lifestyles were
organized regularly for the intervention group to improve students'
knowledge, to help them acquire the right skills and attitudes, and to shape
their behavior accordingly. Data collection was carried out via self-
administered, anonymous questionnaires (n = 192; boys = 49.5%; girls =
50.5%; age range: 14–16). To determine the intervention-specific effect, we
took into account the differences between baseline and post-intervention
status, and between the intervention and control groups using individual
follow-up data. We used generalized estimating equations to assess the
effectiveness of our health promotion program.
CONCLUSION:
Our findings suggest that school health promotion can be
effective in knowledge transfer and lifestyle modification.
To achieve a more positive impact on health behavior,
preventive actions must use a complex approach during
implementation.
How are the findings of this research
useful to teachers?
 The findings of this research will be useful to Teachers to think of a healthy
lifestyle program that they can share to their students specially to those children
who has an abnormality when it comes to health, and those children who are
exposed in alcohol so that they can provide the proper care and knowledge
about being an health conscious so that the students would have the knowledge
to manage their self properly. And teachers will also be the effective cure to
protect children in various healthy problems and so the students will grow
healthy and safety.
