Data extraction is then conducted from the tabulated literature of information regarding policies and programs that warrant further investigation in the benefit of improving and modifying Romanian health policies to achieve targets of measles elimination. METHODS: The review was completed by using the York methodology for performing a scoping review from the University of York in England. Peer reviewed and grey literature databases were searched alongside specific websites and reference lists. Literature selection was performed by two independent reviewers. RESULTS: The following categorical areas were determined: evidence of effectiveness, ethical considerations, improvement strategies, methods and stakeholder views. In total 1,211 articles were discovered using datab...

This study investigates the association of selected factors (social, school performance and substance use) with physical fighting. A total of 2289 Romanian students were included in the 2007 database and 2770 in the 2011 database. This study revealed that 35.87% of the teenagers have taken part in a physical fight during the previous 12 months, as compared with the European average of 31.5%. Romania has the highest prevalence of violent behavior by participating in a group bruising of an individual in both surveys, 2007 and 2011. A logistic regression analysis performed for the 2011 study revealed the following factors associated with physical fighting: binge drinking during the previous 30 days, male gender, serious problems with friends, parent(s) w...

Eleven items of a certain instrument (CORT 2004 Inventory) addressed aggressive behaviour. The Freiburg Personality Inventory (FPI) has also been applied, in order to analyse spontaneous aggression coupled with other personality features. Statistical analysis has
