Teenagers' self-esteem is often affected by the physical and hormonal changes they experience, especially during puberty. The study aimed to assess the level of self-esteem and identify gender-based differences among adolescents.
Materials and Methods: The descriptive study design was adopted. Through a nonrandomized convenient sampling technique, one hundred twenty students in the age group of 15-18 years were enrolled. The data were collected through the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale through the interview method. The collected data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential
statistics.
Results: Out of 120 adolescents, 32% had low self-esteem and 14% had high self-esteem. Overall, the level of self-esteem was low among males (63%) as compared to female (37%) adolescents. The chi-square value depicts that age, sex, education, and residence had a significant association with low and high self-esteem.
Conclusion: Adolescents with low self-esteem, irrespective of gender, face a lot of difficulty in managing obstacles and preventing issues. Thus, there is an urgent need for a holistic approach, and assertiveness training is required to strengthen emotional and psychosocial development and aid in achieving whole adolescent health.

The study aims to identify the correlation between ART adherence with nutritional status and QOL and find the association between adherence scores with selected demographic variables among adolescents. A randomized Controlled Trial design was adopted. Through simple random technique, a total of 388 HIV-infected adolescents were divided into experimental (195) and control (193) groups. The data were collected from four ART clinics in Chennai, India, through standardized ART adherence, QOL, and structured nutritional assessment questionnaires. Motivational counselling was given to the experimental group, and the researcher demonstrated selected asanas. The data were collected from both groups at '0', '3' & 6-month intervals. Descriptive & inferential statistics were used for the analysis of data. Regarding correlation, in the experimental group, baseline assessment showed poor correlation, but in the 3 rd & 6 th months there was a fair and moderate correlation found and was significant at p=0.05** and P=0.001*** respectively. Whereas in a control group, throughout the assessment period showed that, there was a poor correlation. Regarding association, showed adolescents' age, sex, sex of caregivers, relationship with adolescents, and residence were found significant. Motivational counseling along with asana has a positive correlation to ART adherence to promote the health and well-being of adolescents in the experimental group than in the control group.
