PhD Studentship

Title: Exploring educational outcomes associated with engagement in multiple risk behaviours during adolescence

Background: Risk behaviours such as smoking, antisocial behaviour, alcohol consumption and unprotected sexual intercourse cluster in adolescence. Early initiation of risk behaviours is associated with engagement in multiple risk behaviour in both early and late adolescence and such behaviours, individually and collectively, are associated with increased risk of poor educational attainment, morbidity and premature mortality. Multiple risk behaviours include: regular tobacco smoking; regular alcohol drinking; binge drinking (alcohol); cannabis use; recent or regular illicit drug use; risky sexual behaviours; anti-social behaviour and offending; vehicle-related risk behaviours (e.g. cycling without a helmet; not using a car seatbelt); self-harm; gambling; unhealthy diet; and physical inactivity. Multiple risk behaviours are costly to society, young people who engage in any one risk behaviour are likely to engage in others, and there may be shared biological and environmental factors which influence the development of these multiple behaviours. As such, preventive interventions may impact on more than one outcome. This thesis will explore educational outcomes at Key Stages 1-5 with engagement of multiple risk behaviours during adolescence.

Aims:

To inform the design of interventions to prevent harm from multiple risk behaviours in adolescence this study will assess the educational impact of engagement in multiple risk behaviours during adolescence.
