摘要

Migrating at an early age may have long-term adverse impacts on the health and well-being of an individual. Using cross-sectional data from the “Understanding the Lives of Adolescents and Young Adults” (UDAYA) survey, the study examines the prevalence of both migration and high-risk health behaviour among adolescents. The study further investigates whether migration contributes to high-risk health behaviour in the adolescent age group. The results show that substance abuse is significantly higher among adolescents who had migrated due to economic problems in their families, and engagement in high-risk health behaviour was higher among adolescents who were not going to school.
