以人群为中心的研究与实践是社区卫生护理的基石。青少年是一个面临许多健康问题重大风险的人群。本文对2347名15-19岁高中生进行了描述性研究。这些青少年大多来自加拿大纽芬兰省的农村社区。他们接受了调查，以确定他们在不同生活领域的态度、信仰和行为。结果显示，对青少年来说，友谊是最重要的。家庭在他们的生活中也扮演着关键的角色。总体而言，与成年人的关系是麻烦的。出现了显著的性别差异：例如，男性比女性对随意的性行为更开放，比女性更有可能饮酒和更多的体育活动；女性比男性更重视家庭生活，在自尊方面比男性更困难。青少年的态度反映了加拿大社会的许多价值观，如努力工作、成功和良好教育的重要性。这项研究的数据强调了考虑到这一目标群体的关键特征的青少年社区健康计划的必要性。这项研究是汇编社区中任何人口群体的数据的模型。这种模式被描述为一种有效和高效的手段，可以提供对向社区特定人口群体提供保健战略至关重要的基线信息。
Population-focused research and practice is the cornerstone of community health nursing. A population group which is at significant risk for a number of health problems is adolescents. In this article, a report is given of a descriptive study of 2347 high school students, 15–19 years of age. These teens were largely from rural communities in the province of Newfoundland, Canada. They were surveyed to identify their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviours in a variety of life spheres. Results show friendship to be of primary importance to teens. Family also plays a key role in their lives. Relationships with adults, in general, are troubled. Significant gender differences emerged: for example, males are more open than females to casual sex, are more likely to use alcohol and to be more physically active than females; females value family life more, and have more difficulty in the area of self-esteem than their male counterparts. Teens' attitudes reflect many values of Canadian society at large, such as hard work, success and the importance of a good education. The data from this study emphasizes the need for community health programs for teenagers which take into account key characteristics of this target group.This research is a model for compiling data on any population group in the community. Such a model is portrayed as an effective and efficient means of providing baseline information crucial to the delivery of health strategies with specific population groups in the community.
