• W2615182081 abstract "IntroductionOn 18 December 2009, the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution (A/RES/64/134) to designate the year commencing on 12 August 2010 as the International Year of Youth. As commented by the United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, should be given a chance to take an active part in the decision-making of local, national and global levels (http://social.un.org/youthyear). Adopting a systems approach, the framework underlying the initiative has several objectives, including creation of awareness (increased recognition that investment in youth as a smart investment, recognition of youth's contribution, increased awareness of inequalities, promotion of evidence-based and research-driven initiatives), mobile youth participation (strengthening mechanisms for youth participation in decision-making and strengthening networks and partnership), and to connect and build bridges. One unique feature of this framework is that it emphasizes the important role of research particularly with reference to our understanding of adolescent developmental problems and development of evidence-based youth services and policies in different places, including Hong Kong.Obviously, one good starting point to nurture young people is to understand what developmental problems they face via systematic research. With specific reference to Hong Kong, Shek (1) examined several adolescent developmental problems in Hong Kong and arrived at several conclusions. First, adolescent substance abuse patterns were changing in Hong Kong. Second, although the overall youth crime trend was relatively stable in the past decade, shoplifting and stealing crimes deserve our concern. Third, adolescent mental health problem was a growing problem. Fourth, unhealthy life styles, such as smoking, underage sex and moral confusion were issues of concern. Fifth, adolescents experiencing economic disadvantage was a growing problem in Hong Kong, with one-quarter of children and adolescents experiencing economic disadvantage. Sixth, youth unemployment and non-engaged youth were emerging problems in the past two decades. Seventh, family and parenting problems in families with adolescents deserve our attention and the Social Development Index showed that there was a gradual drop in family solidarity in the past decade. Because the review by Shek (1) was carried out a few years ago, there is a need to review those adolescent developmental problems that deserve the attention of policy-makers, service providers and academics. An overview of adolescent developmental problems also provides useful pointers to determine priority areas for the development of adolescent prevention and positive youth development programs.Adolescent substance abuseInternationally, a survey of the websites of several international organizations (e.g., Office on Drugs and Crime of the United Nations, International Narcotics Control Board, National Institute of Drug Abuse in the United States, and European Monitoring Center for Drugs and Drug Addiction) shows that illicit drug use is a thorny global problem to be resolved. Probably because of the influence of popular culture and youth subculture, substance abuse among young people has also become an acute global problem. As Hong Kong is an international city where information flow (including those related to psychotropic drugs) is very quick, adolescent substance abuse is also a grave concern for Hong Kong (2).An examination of the substance abuse figures in the past twenty years showed that there were three peaks in the substance abusers figures reported to the Central Registry of Drug Abuse (CRDA) maintained by the Narcotics Division of the Hong Kong Government.As shown in Table 1, the first peak was in mid-1990s which was mainly related to easy access to tranquilizers which were not tightly controlled by legislations. The second peak was in early 2000s which was closely related to the rave party culture. …" @default.
