ABSTRACT
The aim of the present study was to comparatively assess the health status of tribal adolescent boys of Bihar. To conduct the study 200 tribal adolescent boys from Bathudi, Binjhia, Birjia and Chik Baraik tribes were selected as sample. The age range of tribal adolescent boys was 14 to 17 years. To fulfill the objectives of the present study, 200 non-tribal adolescent boys were also selected. The age range of non-tribal adolescent boys was also from 14 to 17 years. Health status of selected adolescent boys was assessed with the help of Modified Hindi version of health status questionnaire prepared by Tata Institute of Social Sciences. Results reveal that health status of tribal adolescent boys was significantly inferior as compared to non-tribal adolescent boys. It was concluded that proper implementation of policy is need of the hour to enhance the health status of tribal adolescent boys of Bihar.
