Abstract

A total of 657 adolescents (12-15 years) in Barbados provided responses to the question, "Is there anything you are really scared or afraid of?" Most frequently named fears were of three main types: 1) fear of injury or death of self or loved ones, 2) sexual concerns, and 3) fears associated with school failure. Certain other fears reflect local geographical and cultural conditions. The influence of the media was also evident. Data highlight the need for improved sex and family life education
