Abstract:
Anaemia is a major cause of concern during adolescence particularly among the persons of tribal origin. The objective of the study was to determine the pattern of anaemia, determinants and coverage of the weekly iron and folic acid supplementation (WIFS) programme among adolescent girls in a tribal area. A cross sectional study was conducted among 196 adolescent girls at a primary health care centre in tribal area of Kerala. Every alternate adolescent girl attending the centre was chosen over a period of three months. Assent and informed consent from accompanying parents was obtained. Haemoglobin was estimated by Sahli’s method and peripheral smear prepared. Three fourths of the adolescent girls had iron deficiency anaemia; of which 48.64% had moderate anaemia 5.40% had severe anaemia and 1.6% had sickle cell anaemia. Adolescents belonging to Paniya tribe and those not consuming Iron and folic acid tablets under WIFS programme were three times (OR 2.95 95% CI 1.38,6.28) and two times (OR 2.5 95% CI 1.24, 5.11) respectively were more likely to be anaemic. Most (80%) of the anaemic girls were unaware about WIFS scheme and the intake of the iron supplementation was significantly higher in school going girls. Strengthening the WIFS scheme by targeting the vulnerable adolescent girls of Paniya tribe and out of school girls are of extreme importance in tackling the problem of anaemia among tribal adolescent girls.

Abstract:
The changes that happened when menarche come made adolescent girls felt confused, awkward, and uncomfortable. Some parents think that talking about menstruation is a taboo thing to do, as the result adolescent girl has less knowledge and attitude about physical and psychological changing related to menarche. Analyze the correlation between adolescent girls' perception of parents' role with the readiness toward menarche at SMPN 3 Palangka Raya. Quantitative research with cross-sectional design. Sampling technique using total sampling with 74 respondences adolescent girl VII grade students that have been got menarche. Primary data collection using a questionnaire as the instrument. Data analysis using the chi-square test (p=0,05) and correlation strength analysis using contingency coefficient (C). Adolescent girls' perception of parents' role is well enough perception as the result by 45 number respondents (60,8%), adolescents which are ready toward menarche by 40 respondents (54,1). Bivariate analysis shows that there is meaningly correlation between adolescent girls' perception of parents' role and their readiness toward menarche (p=0,002; contingency coefficient analysis C=0,386). There is a correlation between adolescent girls' perception of parents' role with the readiness toward menarche, by a weak correlation, parents have been giving contributions to the readiness of adolescents toward menarche, therefore hopefully adolescent girls can gain more knowledge about menarche.

Abstract:
: The word ‘adolescence’ is derived from the Latin verb ‘adolescere’, which means “grow to maturity.” The World Health Organization (WHO) defines adolescents as young people aged 10-19 years. There are about 1.2 billion adolescents, a fifth of the world’s population. Nutrition is key to unlocking the potential of investment in the health of women, children and adolescents. After obtaining necessary permission from Vadodara Mahanagar Seva Sadan 250 unmarried adolescent girls aged 15-19 years were enrolled in the study. Data on Socio-Economic background (SES) for enrolled girls’ families, Weight and Height was collected using pre-tested semi structured questionnaire. Thinness was assessed using age and sex specific WHO cut-offs for BMI for age (5-19Y). Stunting was identified using WHO cut-offs for Height for age criteria. Mean age of the adolescent girls was 16.3 years. 62% of the adolescent girls were attending school. 70% of adolescent girls were belonging to reserve category (SC/ST/OBC). It was found that 15.2 % and 6.4% of the girls were moderately and severely thin respectively. Only 13.2 % adolescent girls had normal BMI for age. Prevalence of stunting was 80.8%. Thinness and stuntingin unmarried adolescent girls (15-19 years) of urban area is a cause of concern.

Abstract:
Background Despite economic growth observed in developing countries, under-nutrition still continues to be a major health problem. Undernutrition in adolescence can disrupt normal growth and puberty development and may have long-term impact. Therefore, it is important to study the undernutrition among adolescents. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and the associated factors of stunting, thinness and the coexistence of both (stunting and thinness) among the adolescent belonging to Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, India. Methods The study utilized data from Understanding the Lives of Adolescents and Young Adults (UDAYA) project survey, which was conducted in two Indian states Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, in 2016 by Population Council under the guidance of Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India. Utilizing information on 20,594 adolescents aged 10–19 years (adolescent boys-5,969 and adolescent girls-14,625), the study examined three outcome variables, i.e., thinness, stunting, and co-existence of both. The study used descriptive and bivariate analysis. Furthermore, the study examined income-related inequality in stunting and thinness through concentration index. At last, the study used Wagstaff decomposition analysis to decompose the concentration index. Results The prevalence of thinness was higher among adolescent boys as compared to girls (25.8 per cent vs. 13.1 per cent). However, stunting was more prevalent among girls (25.6 per cent) than in boys (39.3 per cent). The odds of stunting were higher among late adolescents [Boys- OR:1.79; CI: 1.39, 2.30] and [Girls- OR: 2.25; CI: 1.90,2.67], uneducated adolescents [Boys- OR:2.90; CI: 1.67, 5.05] and [Girls- OR: 1.82; CI: 1.44,2.30], and poorest adolescents [Boys- OR:2.54; CI: 1.80, 3.58] and [Girls- OR: 1.79; CI: 1.38,2.32]. Similarly age, educational status, working status and wealth index were significantly associated with thinness among adolescent boys and girls. Media exposure [Boys- OR: 11.8% and Girls- 58.1%] and Wealth index [Boys: 80.1% and Girls: 66.2%] contributed significantly to the inequality in the prevalence of thinness among adolescents. Similarly, wealth index [Boys: 85.2% and Girls: 84.1%] was the only significant contributor to the inequality in the prevalence of stunting among adolescents. Conclusion The study provides an understanding that stunting and thinness is a significant public health concern among adolescents, and there is a need to tackle the issue comprehensively. By tackling the issue comprehensively, we mean that the state government of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar shall screen, assess, and monitor the nutritional status of adolescent boys and girls. The interventions shall focus towards both boys as well as girl adolescents, and particular emphasis should be given to adolescents who belonged to poor households. Also, efforts should be taken by stakeholders to increase family wealth status.

Abstract:
Background: There are almost 200 million adolescents in India. It is estimated that the adolescent group constitutes about one fifth of India’s population and it is estimated that this age group will grow to over 214 million by 2020. The period of adolescence for a girl is a period of physical and psychological preparation for safe motherhood. Several factors contribute to the adolescents' growth. A vast majority of adolescent girls in India are suffering from menstrual problems, reproductive morbidities and nutritional deficiencies such as dysmenorrhoea, pre-menstrual syndrome, irregular menses, heavy menstrual bleeding, amenorrhoea, white discharge per vagina, UTI, anaemia etc. So, the present study was carried out to assess menstrual problems, reproductive health problems and nutritional status of adolescent girls coming to our hospital.Methods: It is a Retrospective study to find about the menstrual problems, reproductive health problems and nutritional status among the adolescent girls of 10-19 years age group who attended O.P.D. for various health problems. Data was collected retrospectively for two years from December 2015.Results: Mean age of adolescent girls were 14.38 Mean age to attain menarche was 12.93. About 386 (96.34%) adolescent girls were literate. 62.04% and 29.58% of adolescent girls belonged to class IV and Class V respectively. 62.56% of them live in poor housing and environmental status. The source of health information for the majority 123 (32.2%) was from mass media. Frequency and percentages of common menstrual problems like dysmenorrhea, premenstrual syndrome, heavy menstrual bleeding, intermenstrual bleeding and primary amenorrhoea were 29.58%, 26.39%, 16.49%, 24.34 and 1.57% respectively. Other Reproductive health problems white discharge per vagina, itching in private parts, pain in lower abdomen, backache, urinary tract infection, lump in abdomen and others (boils, ulcers, warts etc.) 26.7%, 8.11%, 18.06%, 12.3%, 7.32%, 4.97% and 1.57%. Under weight were 21.98%. Anemia was observed in 57.84% of adolescent girls.Conclusions: Present study concluded that most of the adolescent girls suffer from various types of menstrual problems, reproductive morbidities and nutritional problems. The findings of the present study recommend that awareness should be created among the adolescent girls, so that they will be able to take appropriate decision on medical care and treatment.

Abstract:
Background: Menarche is an important biological milestone in a woman’s life as it marks the onset of the reproductive phase of her life. The average age at menarche is mostly consistent across the populations, that is, between 12 and 13 years of age. Unfortunately, due to lack of knowledge on menstruation preparedness and management or due to shyness and embarrassment the situation becomes worse for girl. Menstruation is a natural process but it is still a taboo in Indian society as it is considered unclean and dirty.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 250 tribal adolescents in Visakhapatnam district, A. P.Results: 90% of adolescent girls know that menstruation is a normal process. Only 63.2% of adolescent girls know the correct duration of menstrual cycle. 95.6% of adolescent girls use sanitary pads. 97.2% of adolescent girl’s clean external genitalia before changing pad. 84% of adolescent girls can be able to change pad in school whenever necessary.Conclusions: The practices of menstrual hygiene were good except regarding disposal of menstrual materials but need improvement regarding knowledge about menstrual hygiene. It is very important that the mother to be armed with the correct and appropriate information on reproductive health, so that she can pass this knowledge to her next generation.

Abstract:
Adolescent girls are the future mothers and their nutritional needs during adolescence is very important. Poor nutrition during adolescence can have negative effect, both the adolescents themselves and their descendants. Adolescent girls who experience anaemia and chronic energy deficiency will increase the risk of having low birth weight children (LBW). Infants with LBW have a higher risk of stunting than non-LBW infants. Lack of information about the nutritional needs of adolescent girls can be one of the factors that causes stunting problems in their descendants. The intervention effort that can be done is by conducting health education through a variety of media that appeal to adolescent girls. Health education in this activity used the media of education BROSSING (Bermain Monopoli Stop Stunting Itu Penting). BROSSING developed by a community service team to attract the interest of adolescent girls in understanding the importance of nutrition during the first 1000 days of life. The purpose of this community service activity was to build adolescent girls’ awareness on the importance of knowledge in nutritional needs during 1000 days of life. This activity was conducted gradually in SMA Negeri 18 Palembang. The activity started by reviewing the information needs related to nutrition in adolescent girls, then conducted health education which used lecture and simulation game methods with the media BROSSING. From this activity, the adolescent girls’ knowledge has increased and expected it can be the basis for forming healthy life behaviour in adolescent girls, especially in consuming nutritious and balanced food according to their needs.

Abstract:
Technology is almost ubiquitous among adolescents in contemporary British society. Despite this, we do not have a meaningful understanding of the interplay between adolescent girls’ developing social cognition and their use of digital devices. This study aims to address this gap in understanding. Four pre-pubescent and eleven pubescent young women based in the Midlands and from across the socio-economic spectrum participated between 2012-2013. Participant completed six research tools and eleven of them participated in a face-to-face interview. Three tools were adapted from the existing psychology literature, and the remainder were developed specifically for this study. The tools explored technology-mediated attachment and relationships, self and identity, attribution and Theory of Mind. The findings suggest that the moral panics surrounding technology use in adolescence are misplaced; rather, adolescent girls with a good range of personal and situational resources are likely to exert considerable choice in their uses of technology, and social media in particular. Valsiner’s Zones and life course perspectives were used to conceptualise the emerging understanding of technology-mediated social cognition in adolescent girls. This theoretical framework made it possible to do four things. Firstly, to recognize adolescents’ active choice and agency. Secondly, to articulate development opportunities within individuals, relationships and technological environments. Thirdly to locate physiological and psychological development within the broader socio-technical realm. And finally, to see technology as neither positive nor negative but as shaping, rather than defining adolescent perspectives, behaviours and relationships. These possibilities suggest that, rather than attempting to shoehorn adolescent experience into a single paradigm or model we need to ask ourselves key questions about the interplay between the individual adolescent and the technology they choose to use.

Abstract:
This study was designed to examine adolescent girls experience of their parents' divorce. A review of the literature on this subject indicated that little research had been conducted on the adolescents' experience of parental divorce. The literature also indicated that the painful event of divorce can precipitate a number of emotional, behavioural, and cognitive changes in children. This study utilized a phenomenological methodology. Specifically, the study sought to explore the participants' experience of parental divorce and interpret the results in conjunction with relevant theory. Eight girls from age sixteen to nineteen participated in the study. These girls came from a home where a divorce had occurred within a nine year range, but had occurred at least one year since the time of the interviews. The participants were interviewed twice. The interviews were analyzed using the data analysis process described by Giorgi (1975). This analysis revealed twelve topic areas which were descriptive of the participants' experience of divorce. These topics were then organized around four main content areas, or processes. These processes were the experience of the divorce, the process of adapting to environmental changes, the learning and growing process, and the process of restructuring meaning and moving toward resolution. The results were interpreted utilizing the literature on children from divorced homes, attribution theory, and just world theory. The present study shared many similarities with the literature on divorce, but differed in the degree of depression and maladjustment seen among the participants. The participants in this study, generally, were seen to highly-functioning, healthy individuals. The study also showed how the participants need for control in their lives was related to the theories posed by attribution theory and just world theory.

Abstract:
Research has highlighted that adolescent girls are insufficiently active which has serious implications for their current and future health. Walking is recognised as an effective way of implementing regular, health enhancing physical activity (PA) into the daily routine of the general population and in an adolescent population walking is a convenient alternative to active play and sports participation. However it is currently difficult to promote walking and walking initiatives with adolescent girls due to lack of well-established evidence regarding both the quantity and quality of walking that might be advocated to promote PA and health. Therefore the aim of this thesis was to provide step based guidelines with regard to both the quantity and quality of walking required for health and thus inform walking interventions in adolescent girls. In order to achieve this aim four studies were undertaken. Study one explored the most appropriate way to assess walking activity, specifically whether walking on a treadmill accurately replicates walking overground in adolescent girls. Treadmill walking was found to overestimate the metabolic cost of walking in this population. This indicated that studies with the aim of exploring or promoting moderate intensity walking should focus on overground walking. Study 2 explored the quality of walking (steps·min-¹) required to achieve moderate intensity physical activity (MPA) overground. The influence of different anthropometric measures on step rate (steps·min-¹) equating to MVPA were also compared. Results suggest that a generic step rate of 120 steps·min-¹ and 7200 steps in 60 minutes may be advocated to achieve MPA in adolescent girls. However inter-individual variation in step rate associated intensity was observed and it was suggested that a step rate range based on the girl’s body mass may be beneficial for use with adolescent girls. Study 3 considered the most appropriate step measurement instrument to assess free-living walking. Five commercially available instruments (activPAL™ and pedometers; Omron HJ-720-ITC, Omron HJ-304-E, New Lifestyles NL-1000, Yamax CW-701) were compared to direct observation hand-tally step counts, during continuous (study 3a) and incidental (study 3b) walking overground. The New lifestyles NL-1000 was most consistently accurate in quantifying steps and ‘activity time’ during continuous walking, but not during incidental walking. However due to the ease of use and additional youth friendly design features, the New Lifestyles NL- 1000 was utilised in study 4. Study 4 explored the quantity of walking (steps·day-¹) required for health in adolescent girls. The results indicated that in terms of walking activity, ‘healthy’ adolescent girls do not walk significantly more in term of steps∙day⁻¹ or time spent in activity than girls classified as at ‘health risk’. Therefore specific thresholds for quantity and quality of walking required for health could not be defined for this population. Overall findings of this thesis highlight, that walking should be assessed overground with an appropriate measurement instrument. A step rate of 120 steps·min-¹ and 7200 steps in 60 minutes may be advocated to achieve MPA in adolescent girls. However further research is required to explore the relationship between walking and health in this population before we can promote an appropriate threshold of walking that is conducive to good health in adolescent girls.

Abstract:
Adolescence is a period of development when health-related behaviors can become rooted and subsequently contributes to leading causes of adult morbidity and mortality. The dissertation is based on three studies. The first is a cohort study (n=577) of sixth grade students followed for 2.5 years to assess changes in smoking susceptibility measured by intention to smoke. The second study applies a pre-post design to evaluate the outcomes of a 13-week after-school program and three-day, in-residence University camp on personal and familial factors among 37 sixth grade girls, most of whom were Mexican American. The third study is a cross-sectional study of depression among 80 sixth grade girls, the majority of whom were Mexican American. A survey measured depression severity and familial and individual factors that influence depression. Results showed smoking intention increased nearly six-fold from sixth grade to eighth grade (OR=5.8, 95% CI: 1.19, 3.05). The intervention study resulted in changes from pre to post test in familial and personal factors. The prevalence of depression was 50% among participants in the third study, 38% of girls reported moderate to severe levels. In sum, the greater prevalence of smoking intention over time suggests a norm of acceptance occurring as students' progress through middle school. Protective factors from such attitudes differ by gender and are influenced by the relationships surrounding the adolescent. Similarly, relationships were protective in the study of depression. The father's relationship with his daughter guards against depression as does positive peer relationships. These relationships can be strengthened through interventions as was suggested in the intervention study. Study findings emphasize the protective influence familial and peer relationships have on the developing adolescent.

Abstract:
This dissertation investigates the roles of color, class, and gender discourses in the lives of adolescent and post-adolescent girls in Brazil. Specifically, it examines girls' multiple perspectives, embedded in diverse social locations, and the ways in which girls interpret and deploy participular elements of color and class discourses in their projects of self-making. The results of the study provide insight into the diverse ways in which identity discourses may be experienced and a range of perspectives to contribute to qualitative analyses of color identity and relations in contemporary Brazil. Disaggregating the data according to the participants' color and class reveals distinct views on color classification, perceptions of racism, and the role of color in partner preferences. Whereas the lighter/wealthier girls (re)produce discourses of systematic racism, the darker/poorer girls (re)produced discourses of color equality and individualism. A holistic approach to their ideological systems reveals that each group selects discursive elements that grant dignity, self-worth, and personal integrity to their particular social location. The manner in which girls interpret and deploy color images is also variable. For example, the lighter/wealthier girls tended to dismiss the national image of the sexy mulata (female of both African and European heritage) as a product for export, whereas darker/poorer girls appropriated the mulata as a positive model of attractiveness and self-worth in their daily constructions of self. Furthermore, this research discusses how partner expectations and career aspirations are mutually constructive and lead to an ideal life trajectory culminating in financial independence. Although the ideal shared by all young girls, their ability to pursue the trajectory varies, patterned by color and class. The fact that poorer and darker girls cling to high professional goals in an unsupportive environment, bolstered by the ideology of individual willpower, is interpreted as a specifically adolescent discourse of hope. In summary, this dissertation illustrates multiple ways in which discourses of identity may be experienced, interpreted, and deployed in daily life and self-making. Investigating how color discourses are invoked by these adolescent girls representing particular social locations contributes to a more complex, heterogeneous understanding of color identities and relations in contemporary Brazil.

Of those only 13% end up working in the U.S. as computer programmers (EKOS, 2004), part of a nexus of an established patriarchy that supports normative view of a male dominated media culture. This teacher-researcher study explores causes for the low percentage of high school girls continuing on to higher education and/or careers in media production through a qualitative analysis of thirteen high school girls and four boys, drawing in particular on data collected as part of a video production unit in several secondary classrooms. The study makes use of a cultural studies analytic framework that looks at the primary texts (the actual videos produced in the media class), the producer texts (through surveys, questionnaires, journals and interviews with the student producers), and the environmental text (where the videos are produced). An analysis of the films produced indicates a general aptitude in girls using new media to produce film, but an accompanying lack of interest in pursuing careers in media production. A second finding was that there were notable differences in the productions made by girls and boys and evidence indicates girls tended to tell their narrative via interviews, relying on others to tell their story, while the boys were more likely to use simple, plot-driven narratives, primarily meant to amuse. The interest of the girls in this genre suggests a need to focus more on reflexive interviewing practices in school in order to encourage girls in creating reflexive productions (as well as traditional narratives), and in so doing to support and strengthen interest in media production.
Les filles représentent 50 pour cent de tous les étudiants du secondaire dans les cours d'informatique; pourtant elles comptent pour seulement 17 pour cent des étudiants qui se présentent aux examens d'entrée à l'université en informatique (Kearney, 2006). Parmi celles-ci, seulement 13% travaillent aux États-Unis comme programmeurs (EKOS, 2004), faisant partie d'un réseau patriarcal établi qui soutient le point de vue normatif d'une culture masculine qui domine les médias. fr
Cette étude de professeur-chercheur cherche à déterminer les causes du faible pourcentage d'étudiantes du secondaire qui continuent leurs études vers des niveaux supérieurs ou qui se dirigent vers des carrières dans le domaine de la production de médias. Cette étude est faite au moyen d'une analyse qualitative de treize étudiantes et de six étudiants du secondaire, puisant en particulier dans des données recueillies dans des groupes de production de vidéos dans plusieurs salles de classes du secondaire. L'étude utilise un cadre analytique d'études culturelles qui regarde les textes de base (les vidéos réels produits dans la classe de médias), les textes du producteur (à l'aide de sondages, de questionnaires, de journaux et d'entrevues avec les producteurs étudiants), et du texte environnemental (où les vidéos sont produites). Une analyse des films produits montre une aptitude générale chez les filles à utiliser les nouveaux médias pour produire des films, mais en même temps montre un manque d'intérêt pour la poursuite d'une carrière dans la production de médias.
Une deuxième conclusion montre qu'il y a des différences marquantes entre les productions faites par des filles et celles faites par des garçons et il est clair que les filles ont tendance à exprimer leurs récits au moyen d'entrevues, en se servant des autres pour raconter leur histoire alors que les garçons ont plutôt tendance à faire leur récits en utilisant une intrigue simple et qui cherche à amuser. L'intérêt montré par les étudiantes pour ce genre laisse supposer un besoin de mettre l'accent dans les écoles secondaires sur des méthodes d'entrevues introspectives de façon à encourager les étudiantes à créer des productions introspectives (aussi bien que des récits traditionnels), ce qui contribue à appuyer et à renforcer un intérêt dans la production de medias.

Abstract:
The present study is an investigation of the gender role perceptions of girls aged 10 - 15 years. The study aimed to assess any changes in these perceptions that might occur around adolescence, in particular whether interest becomes more focussed upon feminine concerns at puberty (the gender intensification hypothesis) and whether this might be related to girls' educational and leisure choices. The study is semilongitudinal with data collected over two years. For the purposes of cross-sectional analysis the participants were divided into three age groups: 10-11 years; 12-13 years; and 14-15 years. Two methods of data collection were employed: interviews' and repertory grids. The interviews were used to collect cross-sectional data pertaining to participants' perceptions of academic, occupational, sports and leisure choices. The repertory grids were used to collect both cross-sectional and longitudinal data and to access participants' personal gender perceptions within the educational context. The main findings to emerge from the interviews were that the gender stereotyping of preferences, choices and activities was less evident than expected, especially for school subject preferences and career aspirations. Although there was little evidence to support the gender intensification hypothesis, age-related changes in perceptions did occur showing a decline with age in interest for sporting activities and liking for maths. Results from the repertory grids showed commonalities in the constructions of the three age groups. Respondents' perceptions of masculinity (construed in terms of social stereotypes and sociability and hedonism) were more clearly defined than perceptions of femininity (construed mainly in terms of social stereotypes). Whilst respondents' self constructions generally conformed to stereotypical conceptions of femininity a reluctance to construe the self entirely in these terms was evident. Age group comparisons revealed changes in perceptions relating to conceptions of behaviour and characteristics associated with the pursuit of science. Results are discussed in terms of two theoretical perspectives, the development pathways perspective and social categorisation theory and in terms of their implications for girls' educational choices.

Abstract:
"The article’s main purpose is to present the value structure of adolescents. The period of adolescence is significantly important in an adolescent´s life in terms of the formation of the value structure. The structure of values firmly directs adolescents to choose their lifestyle and shows the direction of personality motivation. The preference for specific values is influenced not only by the adolescent´s personality, but also by his interests, needs, attitudes, and various events in his life. The research sample consisted of Slovak adolescents (N=335, girls N=205, boys N=130). The average age was 16.3 years. Our interest was focused on gender differences in the structure of values, measured using the Portrait Value Questionnaire (PVQ, Schwartz, 2003). The results showed a difference in preferred value structures (statistically significant) between girls and boys. Girls scored higher in the values of self-direction, universalism, openness to change, and self-transcendence."

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: Menarche (first menstrual period) is a sign of physical maturity in adolescent girls, which has an impact in the future, both from a psychological and socio-cultural perspective on adolescents. Menarche provides different responses and emotions to adolescent; this is due to differences in preparation for dealing with menarche. Scoping review aims to overview the menarche acceptance among adolescent. Subjects and Method: This was a scoping review study using the Arksey & O’Malley framework with 5 stages, including: identifying scoping review questions, identifying relevant articles using databased including PubMed, ScienceDirect, and EBSCO. This study using gray literature, selecting relevant articles using inclusion and exclusion criteria, mapping data charting and compiling, summarizing and producing a review report. Results: There were 6 articles selected using the Hawker assessment checklist tools. Articles obtained were using qualitative methods. The article selected in this study were based on the methodology, year of publication, and the participants used in the article. Two major themes that emerged as a result of the scoping review were knowledge and attitude. Conclusion: The acceptance of menarche among adolescents will differ depending on the information and support environment for adolescents. The acceptance of menarche in adolescents was still need an attention from health workers, families, and teachers. The provision of pre-menarche health education before adolescent reach menarche is important. So that adolescents are better prepared to gain good experiences and perceptions.

Abstract:
Background: Anemia is a problem that affects reproductive health among adolescent. High incidence of anemia among adolescents still needs an attention. One of which is the consumption of foods containing iron (Fe). The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of soybean-date palm (kurma) milk consumption on hemoglobin (Hb) levels among adolescent girls. Subjects and Method: A quasi experiment was conducted at the Al Ma’ruf Islamic Boarding School in Kediri, East Java, from March to July 2020. The samples obtained were 28 people who had Hb below 12 g% and were not menstruating. The sample was divided into 4 treatment groups i.e. A group (100 g soybean and 100 g date palm), B group (100 g soybean and 50 gr date palm), C group (100 g soybean and 60 g date palm), D group (50 g soybean and 60 gr date palm). The dependent variable was hemoglobin level. The independent variable was the consumption of soy- date palm milk. Data of hemoglobin levels were taken before and after the consumption of soybean- date palm milk with a ratio data scale. The other data were collected using observational sheet. The data were analyzed using t-test. Results: Hemoglobin levels was increased from 10.24 to 12.03 (p= 0.021) in A group, and it was statistically significant. While groups B, C, and D had no effect on the consumption of soybean-date palm milk on hemoglobin levels among adolescent girls. Conclusion: Soybean-date palm milk consumption with ratio of 1:1 increasing hemoglobin level among adolescent girls.

Abstract:
Вирус папилломы человека: вакцинация как приоритет профилактики является наиболее распространенным вирусом, передающимся половым путем. Он является одной из серьезных проблем здравоохранения во всем мире. Некоторые типы ВПЧ (известные как ВПЧ высокого риска) являются основными этиологическими агентами рака половых путей, таких как рак шейки матки, рак вульвы, влагалища, полового члена и анального канала, а также некоторых видов рака головы и шеи. Вакцинация против ВПЧ является приоритетной задачей в профилактике инфицирования этим вирусом. Однако относительно малая продолжительность применения вакцин и их отсутствие в Национальной программе вакцинации вызывают дискуссии о безопасности иммунизации. Высокая стоимость вакцин также ограничивает их широкое использование. Профилактика, а именно вакцинация, является основным методом защиты от ВПЧ. Вакцины против ВПЧ безопасны и эффективны в предотвращении развития раковых заболеваний, связанных с ВПЧ. Они показаны как мальчикам, так и девочкам в возрасте 9-12 лет с целью создания иммунитета до начала половой активности. Несмотря на доказанную эффективность вакцин против ВПЧ, охват вакцинацией остается на низком уровне во многих странах. Необходимо повышать осведомленность о ВПЧ и его последствиях, а также о преимуществах вакцинации. Расширение доступа к вакцинам против ВПЧ для всех возрастных групп, в том числе взрослых, и включение их в Национальную программу вакцинации позволит значительно снизить заболеваемость и смертность от раковых заболеваний, связанных с ВПЧ. Human papillomavirus: Vaccination as a prevention priority Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted virus. It is one of the major health problems worldwide. Some types of HPV (known as high-risk HPV) are the main etiological agents of genital tract cancers, such as cervical cancer, vulvar, vaginal, penile and anal cancers, as well as some types of head and neck cancers. HPV vaccination is a priority in preventing infection with this virus. However, the relatively short duration of vaccine use and their absence from the National Vaccination Program are causing discussions about the safety of immunization. The high cost of vaccines also limits their widespread use. Prevention, namely vaccination, is the main method of protection against HPV. HPV vaccines are safe and effective in preventing the development of HPV-related cancers. They are shown to both boys and girls aged 9-12 years in order to create immunity before sexual activity begins. Despite the proven effectiveness of HPV vaccines, vaccination coverage remains low in many countries. There is a need to raise awareness about HPV and its effects, as well as the benefits of vaccination. Increasing access to HPV vaccines for all age groups, including adults, and including them in the National Vaccination Program will significantly reduce the incidence and mortality from HPV-related cancers.

Abstract:
Using case studies and interviews, this study investigated the negative effects of violence against disabled individuals. Twenty girls who were visually and physically disabled completed a questionnaire designed to investigate the consequences that resulted from exposure to violence. The research was conducted in June 2019. The study participants were visually and physically disabled girls who had been exposed to violence. The participants were from the “Alaml Institute” in Misr Elgdida area, Cairo, Egypt. The two participants studied in this paper were deliberately chosen because their previous exposure to violence has resulted in behavioral and psychological disorders. The researcher pursued a clinical approach to study each individual’s personality in-depth. The results revealed that the most harmful effects and psychological problems resulting from exposure to violence were social withdrawal, aggression, tension, anxiety, bitterness, and hatred. The researcher recommends that psychological support, including counseling and psychotherapy, be offered to disabled girls who are exposed to external aggression. Furthermore, there is a need for reinforcing the psychological culture among adolescents, especially the psychology of adolescent girls with disabilities.

Full text
Abstract:
There is a growing consensus among national governments and development partners about the importance of girls’ education. This is reflected in the UK government’s commitment to quality education for every girl for 12 years, and in targets for increasing girls’ schooling and learning adopted by the Group of 7 (G-7) countries at their meeting in mid-2021 (G7, 2021). The emergence of this consensus comes at a critical time. Education systems in low- and middle-income countries are facing a learning crisis, with many systems failing to equip children with the foundational skills they need to reach their full potential. Within this movement for girls’ education, much attention is focused on the unique challenges adolescent girls face, and on programmes to help girls stay in school. But designing interventions without sufficient understanding of the drivers of adolescent girls’ challenges will leave policy makers frustrated and girls unaided. To help adolescents reach their full potential, we must first understand what is undermining their progress in the first place. Understanding learning trajectories (how much children learn over time) is key to helping both today’s and tomorrow’s adolescent girls. This insight note briefly explains what learning trajectories are and then offers six analytical insights about learning trajectories that can inform education systems reforms to ensure that every girl meets her full potential.
