ABSTRACT

Purpose: This study explored factors influencing the self-rated health of multicultural adolescents by sex using an ecological model. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study aimed to identify the factors affecting self-rated health in multicultural adolescents, employing the World Health Organization's model of determinants of adolescent health and development as a framework. The study included 1,195 multicultural adolescents who provided data for the eighth wave of the 2018 Multicultural Adolescents Panel Study. Hierarchical analyses were conducted using secondary data from the same wave. T-tests and chi-square tests were performed to analyze data by sex. Results: Regarding individual-level factors, sex, body mass index, and depression significantly influenced self-rated health. Including interpersonal factors in the model revealed a significant change in F for men but not for women. Among men, parenting attitudes and relationships with peers were significant, whereas for women, national identity and household characteristics were influential. Conclusion: The findings highlight the necessity of a multidimensional approach that considers sex differences in developing effective policies to improve the health of multicultural adolescents.
