However, evidence regarding health-promoting lifestyle behaviors among adolescents in these settings remains limited. This study aimed to assess health-promoting lifestyle behaviors among adolescents living in post-conflict communities and identify associated factors. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 420 adolescents aged 13\u201319 years attending secondary schools in Nineveh Governorate, Iraq. Data were collected using the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II (HPLP-II), the 10-item Connor\u2013Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10), and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression. Participants demonstrated moderate levels of health-promoting lifestyle behaviors, with a mean HPLP-II score of 132.4 \u00b1 21.6. Interpersonal relationships and spiritual growth had the highest scores, whereas physical activity had the lowest. Health-promoting lifestyle behaviors were positively correlated with resilience (r = .52,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; .001) and perceived social support (r = .61,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; .001). Multiple linear regression showed that perceived social support, resilience, family income, and female gender were significant predictors of health-promoting lifestyle behaviors, collectively explaining 48% of the variance. These findings highlight perceived social support and resilience as important factors associated with healthier lifestyle behaviors among adolescents living in post-conflict communities. Interventions aimed at strengthening social support and resilience while addressing socioeconomic barriers may contribute to improving health-promoting behaviors and overall well-being among adolescents in post-conflict settings.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/15598276261484870","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,4]],"date-time":"2026-09-04T19:00:51Z","timestamp":1788548451000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Resilience, Social Support, and Health-Promoting Lifestyle Behaviors Among Adolescents in Post-Conflict Communities: A Cross-Sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6874-890X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Radhwan Hussein","family":"Ibrahim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Ninevah University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sahir Mallaah","family":"Mohammad Ali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ninevah University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Salwa Hazim","family":"Al Mukhtar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Mosul"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_8_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2020.606373"},{"key":"e_1_3_8_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/09731342221096475"},{"key":"e_1_3_8_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.15700\/201412052114"},{"key":"e_1_3_8_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mpr.1506"},{"key":"e_1_3_8_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/9781119171492.wecad342"},{"key":"e_1_3_8_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.6018\/eglobal.411311"},{"key":"e_1_3_8_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/07481756.2006.11909791"},{"key":"e_1_3_8_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1192\/bjo.2022.601"},{"key":"e_1_3_8_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/su13105657"},{"issue":"7","key":"e_1_3_8_11_2","first-page":"2943","article-title":"Validation of the resilience scale for adolescents in high school in a Spanish population","volume":"12","author":"del Carmen P\u00e9rez-Fuentes M","year":"2020","unstructured":"del Carmen P\u00e9rez-Fuentes M, del Mar Molero Jurado M, Barrag\u00e1n Mart\u00edn AB, Rubio IM, G\u00e1zquez Linares JJ.
