Results: Significant observation was identified (p value < 0.0001) for missed classes among urban students than rural student (91.88% v/s 41.67%). Parents of urban students are more concerned for their homework (66.25% v/s 59.17%), problems and worries (63.75% v/s 58.33%), and activities in free time (53.75% v/s 49.17%). Mental health issues like loneliness (13.13% v/s 10.00%), worry (13.75% v/s 10.83%), and suicidal thoughts (9.30% v/s 6.60%) were higher among urban students but not significant. Issues on violence and bullying like physical fight (53.75% v/s 24.17%), bullying (43.15% v/s 15.0%), physical attack by family members (43.13% v/s 15.83%), and by teachers (51.25% v/s 11.67%) were significantly higher in urban adolescents (p value < 0.0001). Conclusions: Mental health and violence-related issues were prevalent more among urban students than those among rural students in spite of having more protective factors and parents concern suggesting the need of frequent supervision, counselling, monitoring and support of adolescents.

Given the current pattern of tobacco use globally it is estimated 250 million who are alive today, would die prematurely because of tobacco and mostly in developing countries, India rank 4 th in the total tobacco consumption in the world but India's cigarette consumption ranks 11 th in the world. The world Health Organization has predicted that tobacco deaths in India may exceed 1.5 million annually by 2020. Aims & Objective: To determine the awareness about various risk factor of tobacco uses among college going students. Material and Methods: It is a cross sectional study conducted in four randomly selected sections out of eighteen sections of University College of Law of Mohan Lal Sukhadia University (MLSU). Study population included 200 college students who were present at the time of study. Data was statistical analysed by using Microsoft Excel 2007 and Epi-info 3.5.3. Result: A total of 200 students participated in the study, of which 69.5% were male. Majority of study population (66%) belongs to 18-20 years age group and middle class status. Knowledge of ill effect of tobacco use were mouth cancer-97.5%, lung cancer-92.5%, chest disease-75%, throat cancer-27.5% etc. Mass media, friends, teacher and relatives (91%) were the major source of information. Conclusion: The results clearly indicate major lacunae not only in current educational system but also in parental upbringing not giving worthy importance to smoking and its health hazards. Knowledge of tobacco prevention legislation is still poor among law college students even since 2003.

Despite the relatively high prevalence, the etiology and natural history of PCOS are not well understood. Current theories suggest that increased risk of PCOS may involve a combination of genetic susceptibility and a myriad of environmental factors, including diet, lifestyle, and social aspects. Often coined as a "lifestyle disease," PCOS is becoming a growing concern of physicians and women alike. Lifestyle, stigmas, taboos, PCOS's effect on identity, and quality of life are worthy of examination. In India, 20-25 percent of Indian women of fertile age are suffering from PCOS. It is crucial to understand how India's social and cultural climate affects the health-seeking, diagnosis, and treatment of women with PCOS and how these factors contribute to its increasing prevalence. Unhealthy lifestyle, diet, lack of exercise, stigmas, a...
