  • Summary

    This chapter analyses the practice of regulatory oversight of charitable trusts. It first analyses the powers and responsibilities assigned to each of the regulators and the relationship between them in law. This analysis shows that the vagueness of the law creates scope for regulators to consider extra-legal factors when engaging with the law. Next, the chapter examines the regulatory practice in light of China’s particular political, social, and economic conditions. The findings from semi-structural qualitative interviews point towards three factors that are especially influential in the decision-making of regulatory officials: the regional development agenda, the tension between regulatory capacity and regulatory objectives, and the regulators’ perceptions of risk. The chapter provides an in-depth analysis of each factor and highlights the regional differences in regulatory practice caused by these factors.

  • Background:

    Prior research has indicated that attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms may be associated with an increased likelihood of engaging in risky sexual behaviour (RSB). However, research on this association among adolescents has been comparatively limited and mainly confined to North America. The aim of this study was to examine if inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity symptoms were linked to RSB in a community cohort sample of Russian adolescents.

    Methods:

    The study was based on a group of 537 adolescents from Northern Russia. Information on inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity as well as conduct problems was obtained through teacher ratings, while information on RSB (previous unprotected sex, number of sexual partners, sex while intoxicated and partner pregnancies), substance use, perception of risk, and parenting behaviour was based on students’ self-reports. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to examine associations between the variables.

    Results:

    Teacher-rated inattention symptoms predicted RSB, independently of co-morbid conduct problems, substance use, risk perception, and different parenting styles (parental warmth, involvement and control). In addition, male sex, binge drinking and a lower assessment of perceived risk were all significantly associated with RSB in an adjusted model. Neither teacher-rated hyperactivity/impulsivity symptoms nor conduct problems were linked to RSB in the full model.

    Conclusions:

    Deficits in planning and organizing behaviours, being easily distracted and forgetful seem to be of importance for RSB in Russian adolescents. This highlights the importance of discriminating between different ADHD symptoms in adolescence to prevent risk behaviours and their potentially detrimental outcomes on health and well-being.
