Abstract

INTRODUCTION: High risk behaviour among adolescent poses a serious threat to these future generation, community and our country. It warrants greater public health concern as it gives impact to the health and psychosocial development of adolescent. To our knowledge, there is no integrated module available at national level focusing few high-risk behaviours including pre-marital intercourse, smoking and substance abuse. This study aims to develop a new integrated module for Health Care Providers in promoting awareness and knowledge regarding high risk behaviour among adolescent. METHODS: A new module constructed in Malay language including the sexual education, smoking cessation, substance abuse and HIV-AIDS. The module was developed based on literature review, experts’ opinion and theoretical framework. The process was conducted in five phases: 1) Identification of domains. 2) Verification of identified domains. 3) Defining the domains. 4) Identification of relevant and representative items for each domain. 5) Final verification of domains and items. RESULTS: All four domains were agreed upon by experts; considering relevant literature, pre-existing modules and experience. Content validation, cognitive debriefing and pre-testing assessment were conducted. Overall response process assessment was good. Content, module arrangement and formatting easily readable and well understood by all respondents. The resulting module named as SEDAR that covered “Seksual, Dadah, Arak/AIDS dan Rokok”. DISCUSSION: SEDAR is a new potential module to develop awareness and knowledge regarding high risk behaviours among adolescent and it can be use in future intervention program involving adolescent.
