Abstract

This study examines trends in health, well-being, and risk behaviours among high school students in Finnmark, Norway, and compares them with the national average. Data were drawn from the Ungdata survey, covering three waves between 2014 and 2023. The sample included 6,084 high school students in Finnmark and 254,048 students nationwide. MANOVA with polynomial contrasts assessed linear trends among students in Finnmark, and MANOVA with difference contrast tested pairwise differences between Finnmark and national samples. Trend analysis revealed that 26 out of 63 variables, including digital use, school-related variables, antisocial behaviours, and depressive thoughts, increased over time, while 25 variables, such as physical activities, local environment, and bullying remained unchanged. Relationships with parents and substance use improved. Pairwise comparisons showed worse outcomes for Finnmark students in 43 and 41 out of 63 variables across waves, except for substance use and antisocial behaviours. This study indicates limited improvement in health and risk behaviours among high school students in Finnmark. Public health policies tailored to adolescents in Finnmark should focus on mental health services, promoting physical activity, and reducing antisocial behaviours and bullying. Further research should explore Finnmark's multiethnic context, including the Sámi and Kven populations.

与全国平均水平相比,挪威芬马克地区高中生的健康、幸福感和风险行为认知趋势。
本研究探讨了挪威芬马克地区高中生的健康、福祉和风险行为趋势,并将其与全国平均水平进行了比较。数据来自Ungdata调查,涵盖2014年至2023年的三次调查。样本包括芬马克的6084名高中生和全国的254048名学生。多项式对比的 MANOVA 分析评估了芬马克学生的线性趋势,而差异对比的 MANOVA 分析则检验了芬马克和全国样本之间的成对差异。趋势分析表明,在 63 个变量中,有 26 个变量(包括数字使用、学校相关变量、反社会行为和抑郁想法)随着时间的推移而增加,而 25 个变量(如体育活动、当地环境和欺凌)则保持不变。与父母的关系和药物使用情况则有所改善。配对比较结果表明,除了药物使用和反社会行为外,芬马克学生在63个变量中的43个和41个变量上的结果都不如其他学生。这项研究表明,芬马克高中生在健康和危险行为方面的改善有限。针对芬马克青少年的公共卫生政策应侧重于心理健康服务、促进体育锻炼、减少反社会行为和欺凌行为。进一步的研究应探讨芬马克的多民族背景,包括萨米人和克文人。
