Truancy among adolescents may negatively affect the achievement of academic goals. The aim of the study was to investigate the prevalence and correlates of school truancy in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) member states. The analysis included 28 419 school children aged 13-15 years from seven ASEAN member states that participated in the Global School-based Student Health Survey (GSHS) between 2007 and 2013. The overall prevalence of past 30 day truancy across six ASEAN countries (excluding Brunei) was 24.8%; ranging from below 20% in Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam to more than 30% in Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, and the Philippines. In multivariable logistic regression analysis, socio-demographic factors (older age, being male, the experience of hunger), externalising behaviour (tobacco use, alcohol use, having been in a physical fight, being bullied, having sustained an injury), and lack of protective social-familial factors (lack of peer support and lack of parental or guardian support) were found to be associated with truancy. High rates of truancy were found in ASEAN member states calling for interventions aimed to reduce truancy considering identified associated factors.

东南亚国家联盟（ASEAN）成员国13至15岁学生的逃学率，人口统计学和社会心理相关性。

青少年的逃学可能会对实现学习目标产生负面影响。这项研究的目的是调查东南亚国家联盟（ASEAN）成员国的学校逃学率和相关性。该分析包括来自2007年至2013年间全球七个基于学校的学生健康调查（GSHS）的七个东盟成员国的28419名年龄在13至15岁之间的学童。过去六个月的东盟国家（过去30天）的总体逃学率文莱）为24.8％；从缅甸，泰国和越南的20％以下到文莱达鲁萨兰国，印度尼西亚和菲律宾的30％以上。在多变量Logistic回归分析中，社会人口统计学因素（年龄较大，男性，饥饿经历），外在行为（吸烟，饮酒，人们发现，他们在身体上打架，被欺负，遭受伤害）以及缺乏保护性的社会家庭因素（缺乏同伴的支持以及缺乏父母或监护人的支持）与逃学有关。在东盟成员国中发现逃学率很高，因此考虑到已确定的相关因素，要求采取旨在减少逃学率的干预措施。
