- Adolescents in Delta State engage in such health risk behaviour as: smoking, alcohol use, drug abuse, multiple sexual partners and illegal abortion. Health risk taking threatens attainment of individual health and well-being, as well as sustainable national development. There is an urgent need to stem the tide of health risk taking among the youths who are leaders of tomorrow. This study investigated effects of school based life skills training on health risk behaviour among in-school adolescents in Delta State. A pretest-post-test control group quasi experimental research design was adopted in this study. Multi-stage sampling technique was adopted. Simple random sampling technique was used to select one local government area from each of the three senatorial districts. Purposive sampling technique was used to select one coeducational school each from the selected three local government areas. Three secondary schools were-randomly assigned to two experimental groups and control group. A sample of two hundred and sixteen students was used in the study. Four research hypotheses were tested at 0.05 alpha level of significance. Data collected were analysed using ANCOVA. Findings showed that, there was a significant main effect of treatment (school based life skills training) on health risk behaviours among in-school adolescents (F{2,204} = 19.063 P<0.05). Based on the finding, it was recommended that, school teachers should be re-trained in the use of life-skills and should be encouraged to employ the approach in classroom teaching. 1 results 1

- Alcohol and drug problems are pervasive throughout the world and constitute major disruptive conditions to people's social and family lives. This study examined the comorbidity of substance use and psychiatric problems among patients in a psychiatric setting. The central hypotheses in this study are that substance abuse impairs one's moral-ethical self which in turn leads to a cicious circle of behaviours, especially the generation of irrational beliefs: Confirming the hypothesis that the emergence of a psychiatric condition through alcohol and drugs is a product of irrational thoughts and beliefs, the study established a significant negative correlation between moral-ethical self and irrational beliefs (r = -335; P <.05). It was also confirmed through Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) that there is a significant main effect of impaired moral-ethical self on generation of irrational beliefs. (F{1,42) = 6.10; <.05), Main effect of unimpaired moral-ethical self was not significant. Also, a t-test for independent samples show a statistically significant difference between high moral-ethical patients and low moral-ethical patients (t = -,199, df (44), p<.05). Participants with low moral-ethical self relapse more into bouts of irrational beliefs than a comparative group. The results were discussed in relation to past findings and health policy to reduce substance related psychiatric problems among people 1 results 1

- Any education which does not immediately benefit a person either in finding employment or to improve his/her living conditions, would not attract public attention. Therefore, Arabic education in Nigeria particularly for women should be designed so as to lead to useful work life. Arabic, being a Semitic language of major religion and culture which demands some skills and lengthy duration before its learners could attain an appreciable level for useful work life in Nigeria .This prerequisite has made the Language suffered a lot of setback from women fold due to some of the impediments of its learning by females which were traceable to religious, cultural bonds, time factor and economic crisis. The paper aims at examining the gender inequity in Arabic education in the 21st century in Nigeria. Such impediments, the erroneous impression and perception of the society, parents, learners and the teachers on the language were critically examined. It will explore options that could provide women better avenues for Arabic education. It also advocates for equal opportunities of gender in access to education for women, the use of relevant modem materials and techniques for the teaching and learning of Arabic in Nigeria to meet current challenges. 1 results 1
