Structural model of factors relating to the health promotion behavior of reproductive health among Indonesian adolescents.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

We aim to explore the factors related to the health promotion behavior of reproductive health (RH) among Indonesian adolescents via structural equation modeling.

Methods

A cross-sectional quantitative study was used to measure 108 adolescents aged 12-16 years. We employed a self-administered questionnaire developed from the health promotion model (HPM) and the empowerment model (EM) on the basis of self-efficacy to determine the factors related to health promotion in maintaining RH behavior. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to examine relationships among the variables. The Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) approach was used to evaluate if the proposed model is suitable for the data based on goodness-of-fit indices.

Results

The model is appropr
