adolescents have consistently found that depression is strongly correlated with DSH4 5 and SA.29 30 Tobacco smoking has also been previously identified to be a risk factor

for universal resilience - based interventions specifically, but have included such interventions in broader categories of intervention type
for subgroup analysis.

The concept of resilience and closely related research regarding protective factors provides one avenue
for addressing mental well - being that is suggested to have an impact on

for, or outcome of successful adaptation in the context of risk or adversity.9, 10, 12, 13, 18 Despite this variability, it is generally agreed that a range of individual and environmental protective factors are thought to: contribute to an individual's resilience; be critical
for positive youth development and protect
adolescents from engaging in risk behaviours, such as substance
use.19 — 22 Individual or internal resilience factors refer to the personal skills and traits of young people (including self - esteem, empathy and self - awareness).23 Environmental or external resilience factors refer to the positive influences within a young person's social environment (including connectedness to family, school and community).23 Various studies have separately reported such factors to be negatively associated with
adolescent use of different types of substances, 12, 16, 24 — 36
for example, higher self - esteem16, 29, 32, 35 is associated with lower likelihood of tobacco and

for adolescents: a meta - analysis of
alcohol use prevention programs
Previous studies have documented the association between bullying and both health behaviors and symptoms.21, 43,44 These studies indicate that while being bullied is associated with difficulty making friends and lower
use of
alcohol, 21 perpetration of bullying is associated with more time spent with friends44 and increased
use of
alcohol and cigarettes.21 This suggests that although
adolescents who are bullied may be at less risk
for adverse health outcomes associated with substance
use, they may be at increased risk
for somatic complaints associated with poor peer relationships.3, 18 New initiatives such as the US Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration's Stop Bullying Now campaign45 should be evaluated
for their efficacy in raising public awareness and reducing the prevalence of bullying.

alcohol consumption; 2Univariable multinomial logistic regression models; 3Multinomial logistic regression models adjusted

alcohol use and baseline
adolescent depressive symptoms after adjusting
for confounding variables (b = -.065, 95 % CI = -.13, -.00, p =.05).
The findings provided support
for an indirect relationship (mediation via other - sex friendships) between early
adolescent parental monitoring and late
