_aABSTRACT. Statement of the Problem. This study attempted to determine the health-promoting practices of Filipino adolescents and the implications to wellness lifestyles. Specifically, it sought to answer the following question: 1. What is the demographic profile of the respondents in terms of: a. age b. gender c. year level d. family monthly income e. religion? 2. What are the determinants of positive health behavior of the respondents based on : a. internal locus of control b. perceived health status c. family health-related lifestyle? 3. What are the health- promoting practices of the respondents in terms of: a. nutrition b. physical activity c. non-smoking d. avoidance of alcohol e. self-care? 4. Is there a significant relationship between the demographic variables and the health-promoting practices of the respondents? 5. To what extent do the determinants of positive health behaviors relate to the practice of the respondents? Sampling and Instrumentation. The study used the descriptive research method utilizing the corretional technique in determining the relationship of the demographic variables and the health-promoting practices of the respondents. It was also employed to look into the extent of relationship of the determinants of positive health behaviors to the practices of the adolescent respondents. Stratified sampling was employed in determining the number of participants from each year level, while systematic sampling was used in selecting the participants of the study. The total sample consisted of 353 students drawn from four year levels of Elpidio Quirino High School. Questionnaire served as the main data-gathering tool which employed the 5 Point Likert Scale, Percentage, weighted mean, chi-square, and Pearson product moment correlation (Pearson r) were the statistical treatment used to analyze the data. The computation was aided by microstat software for more accuracy. Findings. The salient findings of the study are as follows: 1. Demographic Profile of Respondents Majority of the respondents are within the age group of 16 years old and above (32.01%), male (51%) and from first year level (28%). Moreover, the largest number of the respondents have family monthly income of P5,000.00 and below (64.59%) and belong to Roman Catholic (91.5%). 2. The determinants of positive health behavior of the respondents are high in terms of the internal locus of control (X=3.80), moderate in terms of perceived health status, (X=3.07) and average in terms of family health-related lifestyle(X=3.21) 3.The health-promoting practices show that the adolescents are average in areas of nutrition (X=2.77), physical activity (X=3.11) and self-care (X=3.10). Moreover, they are above average in areas of non-smoking (X=3.77) and avoidance of alcohol (X=4.01) 4. There is no significant relationship between the demographic variables of age, gender, year level, family monthly income, and religion and the health promoting practices of the respondents. 5. The relationship between the determinants of positive health behavior and the practices of the respondents revealed that: a. There is high positive correlation or significant relationship between perceived health status and nutrition (r=.78). b. There is moderate positive correlation or marked relationship between internal locus of control and physical activity (r=.69); and family health related lifestyle and nutrition (r=.58) c. There is moderate negative correlation or mark relationship between family health-related lifestyle and self-care (r=.45) d. There is low positive correlation or small relationship between: 1. internal locus of control and nutrition (r=.27); . 2. internal locus of control and non-smoking (r=.38) 3. internal locus of control and self-care (r=.26). 4. perceived health status and avoidance of alcohol (r=.38). 5. perceived health status and self-care (r=.37). e. There is low negative correlation or small relationship between: 1. perceived health status and non-smoking (r=-.26). 2. family health related lifestyle and non-smoking (r= -.29) 3.family health-related lifestyle and avoidance of alcohol (r=-.34) f. There is very low positive correlation or negligible relationship between: 1. internal locus of control and avoidance of alcohol (r=.09). 2. perceived health status and physical activity (r=.03). 3.family health-related lifestyle and physical activity (r=.07). Conclusion. In light of the findings of this study, the following conclusions were drawn: 1. There is no significant relationship between the demographic variables of age, gender, year level, family monthly income, and religion and the adolescent respondents' health promoting practices in areas of nutrition, physical activity, non smoking, avoidance of alcohol, and self-care, thus the null hypothesis is accepted. 2. The null hypothesis is rejected, thus, it was inferred that there is significant relationship between the health-promoting practices of the respondents and the following determinants of positive health behavior: a. Perceived health status is a strong determinant of health-promoting practice in nutrition of the adolescent respondents. b. Internal locus of control has moderate influence on the helath-promoting practices in areas of nutriotion and self-care of adolescent respondents. However, the null hypothesis is accepted as revealed by the negligible relationship of the following: a. Internal locus of control has no significant bearing on the health-promoting practice in avoidance of alcohol of the adolescent respondents. b. Perceived health status has no significant bearing on the health-promoting practice in physical activity of the adolescent respondents. 3. The adolescents have generally high level of internal locus of control and moderate level of perceieved health status while their family health-related lifestyle is average. 4. The health-promoting practices of the adolescents in areas of nutrition, physical activity, and self care are average. In the aspect of non-smoking and avoidance of alcohol, the health-promoting practices of the respondents are above average which are supportive of achieving wellness. Recommendations. Based on the findings and conclusion drawn form this study, the following recommendations were formulated: 1. Redesign school based programs by adapting innovative approaches and geared towards the enhancement of internal locus of control, and perceived health status, such as resistance and self-esteem training respectively as an additional strategies to classroom based-health education. 2. Conduct meetings seminars, and workshops to parents of the students towards enlisting the family to foster sound health practices at home. 3. Make the school health-promoting environment. a. The school canteen should be made real for training the students by having nutritious foods available in the canteen. b. Support all the activities that are geard toward the upliftment of physical fitness level of the students. c. Empower the capabilities of the adolescents toward self-care through classroom health education. d. School- based influence programs and counter advertising campaign to discourage unhealthy behaviors like smoking and alcohol use should be organized and implemented on a continuous efforts. It should enlist the help of student leaders and the general population. 4. Establish partnerships among schools, community, and other organizations(government and non-government) in planning and implementing programs that promote autonomous and healthy lifestyle of the adolescents. This can be done by tapping these agencies to conduct workshops, symposia, or provide reading materials to students. 5. Make periodic evaluation on the existing school health programs through studies and researches to ensure that they are meeting the changing health needs of the adolescents. 6. Conduct further research related to this study such as: a. comparative study of health- promoting practices between the adolescents from private and public high school or students and out-of - school youth. b. health- promoting practices of the college students or other age group.
