Abstract: (211 Views)
In February 2023, a survey was conducted through direct group survey among 71 children aged 11-13, in two primary schools in the municipality of Pleven, Bulgaria. The children were interviewed after the written informed consent of their parents. An originally developed questionnaire containing 29 questions, adapted to the children's age, was used.
Survey data were processed with IBM SPSS Statistics 25 and EXCEL for Windows statistical software packages. The results are described by graphs and numerical indicators of structure, frequency, averages, correlation coefficients and others. The χ2 and Fisher's exact test criteria were applied.
FINDINGS
It is of great concern that the results of this study once again confirm that the 11-13 age group is particularly vulnerable to behavioral health risk factors.
CONCLUSION
Given the information found about the risky behavior of Bulgarian adolescents and the level of their health culture from the literature review and the results of the conducted study, the introduction of mandatory health and educational measures among adolescents in our country is extremely urgent.
