Purpose:

This study examined factors related to positive health practices (php) among asian adolescents. more specifically, it tested theoretical relationships postulated between php and social support, optimism, self-esteem, loneliness, and acculturation in this population.

Method:

A correlational research design was used and a convenience sample of 151 asian adolescents was obtained. participants completed a demographic sheet and six study instruments.

Results:

Significant positive relationships were found between reported performance of php and social support, optimism, self-esteem, and acculturation. a significant inverse relationship was found between loneliness and php.

Conclusions:

Study findings extend existing knowledge and contribute to a more comprehensive knowledge base regarding health practices among asian adolescents. having this knowledge base provides practitioners with a better understanding of the factors related to health practices in asian adolescents and assists them in developing culturally sensitive interventions aimed at promoting php in this population.
