Our study contextualized empirical factors influencing adolescent behaviors. An assessment using focus group discussion (FGD) was done with randomly selected adolescents in primary schools in Northern Uganda to explore the influence of child poverty and parenting among other factors on adolescents' behaviors. A semi-structured interview guide and in-depth interviews were also conducted for parents/guardians and teachers, respectively. Adolescents expressed desirable developmental outcomes contrary to teachers' concerns regarding achieving them. Parenting and places of residence had a significant positive impact on adolescent behaviors, with the village residence having a much earlier influence compared to parenting. Our findings revealed a scanty understanding of child poverty, parenting, and adolescent development among parents/guardians. Any action-oriented toward awareness would promote adolescent behavioral development.

影响乌干达北部小学青少年行为的潜在因素

我们的研究结合了影响青少年行为的实证因素。使用焦点小组讨论 (FGD) 对乌干达北部小学随机选择的青少年进行评估，以探讨儿童贫困和养育子女等因素对青少年行为的影响。还分别针对家长/监护人和教师进行了半结构式访谈指南和深度访谈。青少年表达了理想的发展成果，这与教师对实现这些成果的担忧相反。育儿和居住地对青少年行为有显着的积极影响，与育儿相比，乡村住宅的影响要早得多。我们的调查结果显示，父母/监护人对儿童贫困、养育子女和青少年发展知之甚少。
