Objectives: We investigated the effect of some hypothetical factors (nutrition, health indicators, risk behaviors, personal characteristics, and family indicators) on academic achievement using Logistic Regression (LR) and the Chi-squared Automatic Interaction Detection (CHAID) method.
Study Design: Participants were 873 secondary school or high school students selected randomly from a total of 12,150 students after stratification according to school populations in Edirne, in 2003.
Results: The sensitivity, positive predictivity, and specificity rates were 61.19%, 67.70%, and 74.25% for CHAID, and 50.00%, 64.29%, and 75.69% for LR, respectively. Father's educational level was the most important factor in the CHAID method. Smoking status, time reserved for homework, and nutrition were the other important factors predicting low school performance according to the CHAID method.
Conclusion: The classification tree algorithm can be used in risk analysis and target segmentation for academic achievement management. Our results may contribute to developing guidelines for those involved in secondary school and high school education.
Objectives: We investigated the relationships between cigarette and alcohol consumption habits of students of Trakya University Medical Faculty with demographic characteristics and the orbital, dorsolateral and medial/cingulate scores obtained from the Frontal Lobe Personality Scale (FLPS).
Study Design: We administered a 32-item questionnaire with open- or close-ended questions and the 43-item FLPS to 513 students studying at grades I to IV.
Results: Of the participants, 22.9% were smokers, and 40.6% were taking alcohol. Gender, age, accommodation place, educational level of the parents, school success, sharing problems with the parents, insistent behaviors of friends for smoking, and orbital scores were found to have significant effects on smoking. Gender, accommodation place, father's educational status, the number of friends taking alcohol, insistent behaviors of friends for taking alcohol, importance level of religion, and orbital scores were found to have significant effects on alcohol consumption.
Conclusion: The results of the study show that the FLPS is an applicable survey to determine the use of substance, and that orbital scores have an effect on cigarette and alcohol consumption.
