An increasing number of studies suggest that supportive social relationships in the family and shool may exert a protective effect against a number of youth health risk behaviors. This study examines the associaton between perceived parental social support and perceived social cohesion at school with selected youth risk behaviour outcomes (physical fighting, victimization, suicidal ideation, substance use and sexual intercourse) among 930 female and male public secondary school students studying in the central region of el salvador. The study questionnaire comprised closed ended items of parent / school relationships and risk behaviors based on the united states center for disease control and prevention's youth risk behavior survey. In regression analyses, female students who perceived low students with perceptions of low school social cohesion were more likely to report suicidal ideation, binge drinking, and drug use. Perceptions of parental social support and school social cohesion held fewer still significant association across risk behaviours for male students. male students who reported low parental social support were significantly more likely to report suicidal ideation, drug use and physical fighting, while male students with low perceived school social cohesion were more likely to report physical fighting but less likely to report binge drinking, This study lends support to the improtance of supportive social relationships for understanding youth risk behaviour and suggests that supportive families and schools may operate differently for female and male students living in el salvador.
