Abstract :This study aims to determine the healthy lifestyle behaviors of adolescents working in the industry. The research was completed between May and December 2021 with 200 adolescents child aged 14-17 working in the auto industry site. Data were collected using an information form and the Adolescent Lifestyle Profile Scale. It was determined that the majority of adolescents working in the industry were 15 years of age or older, started working before the age of 14, had been working for less than 3 years, were continuing their education, worked more than 8 hours a day, received wages below those paid to apprentices, and were all male. When the scores of the adolescents on the healthy lifestyle behaviors scale and its sub-dimensions were examined, it was found that they had healthy lifestyle behaviors slightly above the moderate level. It was found that educational attendance, daily working hours, and break times significantly affected the healthy lifestyle behaviors of adolescents. To improve the healthy lifestyle behaviors of adolescents working in the auto industry, their educational attendance should be supported, and regulations regarding working conditions such as daily working hours and break times are necessary.
