This study aims to describe reproductive health educational interventions aimed at preventing the RH triad (STIs, unintended pregnancies, and abortions) in adolescents. This study employed a scoping review method. Articles were searched from three databases: CINAHL, PubMed, and Scopus. The keywords used were: reproductive health, sex education, adolescent, knowledge, behavior, intervention. Inclusion criteria included quantitative intervention research, quasi-experimental, or randomized controlled trials; involving adolescents aged 10-19 years; describing at least one intervention to improve knowledge, attitudes, or awareness about reproductive health; and published in English or Indonesian between 2019-2024. Data were manually extracted and analyzed descriptively using qualitative methods. Based on the search results, 13 articles were identified that discussed interventions to improve adolescents' knowledge and attitudes towards reproductive health. The types of interventions included smartphone-based, school-based, game-based, educational, and family-based interventions. The duration of interventions varied from a few sessions to several months. Activities included watching videos, accessing educational materials through apps, participating in discussions and demonstrations at school, playing educational games, and engaging in interactive family sessions.

As an important means of preventing various human diseases, physical exercise plays an important role in reducing the risk of depression. Using data from the Chinese Household Tracking Survey, this study analyzed the mechanisms by which physical exercise, self-rated health and life satisfaction reduce the risk of depression.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The data for this study comes from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) released by the China Social Science Survey Centre of Peking University. The 2020 survey data was used as the sample, which contained a total of 21,057 individuals. The study variables were analyzed in sequence for reliability and validity, correlation analysis, regression analysis, structural equation model testing, and bias-corrected percentile Bootstrap testing using SPSS 23.0 software and Hayes' (2013) Process plug-in.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Physical exercise was significantly positively correlated with self-assessed health status and satisfaction of life (<i>β</i> = 0.049, <i>p</i> < 0.01; <i>β</i> = 0.075, <i>p</i> < 0.01), and significantly negatively correlated with risk of depression (<i>β</i> = -0.022, <i>p</i> < 0.01); self-assessed health status was significantly positively correlated with satisfaction of life (<i>β</i> = 0.440, <i>p</i> < 0.01), and significantly negatively correlated with risk of depression (<i>β</i> = -0.047, <i>p</i> < 0.01); satisfaction of life was significantly negatively correlated with risk of depression (<i>β</i> = -0.137, <i>p</i> < 0.01).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Physical exercise not only negatively predicted the risk of depression, but also indirectly predicted the risk of depression through the independent mediating effects of self-assessed health status and satisfaction of life, as well as chain mediating effects. There were no differences in the effects of physical exercise on depression risk by age, gender and marital status. Significant differences in the effect of physical exercise on depression risk were found among groups with different places of residence.</p>","PeriodicalId":56009,"journal":{"name":"Risk Management and Healthcare Policy","volume":"17 ","pages":"3315-3325"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11682662/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142904135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
