Pesquisa descritiva qualitativa que teve como objetivo analisar as atitudes dos adolescentes diante da ingestão de bebidas alcoólicas. Foram realizadas entrevistas com 40 adolescentes vinculados a uma instituição de apoio no Pará. A análise de conteúdo temático levou à seguinte categoria: atitudes e comportamentos em relação à ingestão de bebidas alcoólicas. O consumo da bebida alcoólica está associado a diversão, mas também significa um modo de não pensar nos problemas. Os adolescentes utilizaram outros tipos de drogas em alguns momentos, porém o uso do álcool é unanimidade. Concluiu-se que, para o adolescente, o álcool favorece a socialização e o prazer e que isso pode levar ao uso abusivo e contato com drogas ilícitas, como a maconha, a cocaína e o tíner.

No mundo, anualmente 200 milhões de pessoas fazem uso de substâncias psicoativas de abuso. Estudos clínicos demonstram que a exposição a estresse pode aumentar o risco ao abuso de drogas e a vulnerabilidade para o desenvolvimento de dependência. O uso repetido de substâncias de abuso pode promover sensibilização comportamental. A sensibilização comportamental reflete neuroadaptações que estão envolvidas no desenvolvimento da farmacodependência. Assim como a administração repetida à substância de abuso, a exposição repetida a episódios de estresse também pode promover sensibilização comportamental à administração subsequente de substâncias de abuso. Esse fenômeno é chamado de sensibilização cruzada entre estresse e drogas. Em modelos animais a sensibilização comportamental caracteriza-se pelo aumento progressivo da resposta locomotora a uma dose fixa da substância psicoativa após a exposição repetida a drogas ou ao estresse. Altos índices de uso de substância psicoativa de abuso têm sido observados entre adolescentes no Brasil e no mundo. Adultos e adolescentes apresentam diferenças em relação à resposta às drogas e ao estresse. Embora a relevância, poucos estudos são realizados para avaliar o efeito do estresse em modelos animais de adolescência. Desta forma, o objetivo desse projeto foi estudar se a exposição ao estresse agudo ou crônico de imobilização promoveria sensibilização comportamental cruzada com a anfetamina em ratos adolescentes e adultos

The Chlamydia trachomatis causes chlamydial infection, is one of the most recurrent STD of the world. Several risk factors are already defined for Chlamydial infection, among them, age under 25 years old and sexual behavior of the risk. The objective was to determine the prevalence of Chlamydia infection cervicitis in adolescent females of the Botucatu, São Paulo, and risk factors associated with this infection. It is cross-sectional study, of the populational basis, performed together the nineteen basic health units of the Botucatu, São Paulo. The data were obtained through clinical interviews and gynecological examination on samples collected for laboratory analysis. The research of C. trachomatis was performed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). This report presents preliminary data, which represent 19% of the sample checked. Were interviewed 37 adolescents with a mean age of 17 years (between 15th and 19th years old), average of years studied of the 8,19, 40% of the families lived on less than a minimum wage by person and 24,3% dosen’t has ownership of the house where they live.

The dependency of psychoactive substances whether licit or illicit, among adolescents is a topic that has aroused much discussion today. One of the psychoactive substance that has caught the attention of authorities and experts, its potential dependence, increasing the number of addicts and speed with which triggers the human degeneration is the crack (a derivative of cocaine - Erythroxylon coca), used via the smoked administration. Understanding the phenomenon of increasing their use requires an analysis of the concepts of addiction throughout history, current research encompassing scientific findings in epidemiology and statistics involving several types of pharmacological substances, and especially the analysis of data related specifically to crack the focus of our theme. In order to contribute to ongoing discussions and offer possible alternatives for effective intervention, especially in schools, we conducted a survey that sought to find evidence of a possible relationship between crack use and moral reasoning. Since our work specifically theoretical nature, we use to reach our goals, assumptions, two researchers in the concept of human morality: Jean Piaget (1994) and Lawrence Kohlberg (1992) both traveling within the proposed cognitive-evolutionary human development. For an understanding of the proposals of these two researchers, we use research to (Lepre, 2005), as guiding thesis of this work. The results presented indicate that adolescents who use crack are very close to a level of moral reasoning pre-conventional and conventional, although it is important to state that more accurate results require further research on the subject, including those involving field research. Yet we can conclude that prevention must go through a dialogue that privileges the moral education as possible means of effective intervention against the use of crack, allowing the construction of autonomy...

Studies have shown that adolescents begin to make use of alcoholic beverages earlier and excessively, a behavior which has several negative consequences. Thus, the present study aims at investigating whether the expectations they have for the effects of alcohol consumption are high or low and if there is a relationship between expectation and consumption pattern. AUDIT and IECPA were applied as data collection instruments. The first indentifies the pattern of alcohol use and the second investigates the expectations the subjects have in relation to the use of alcohol. The results of this study, differently than others, do not evidence the positive relationship between binge-drinking and high expectations about the use of alcohol.
