Introduction: The confinement measures applied during the pandemic brought as a consequence an increase in domestic violence, this problem has not been investigated from the perspective of adolescents in Central America. Objective: To determine the factors associated with adolescents' perception of four types of domestic violence in Honduras during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methodology: Cross-sectional analytical study, secondary database, inquired about the perception of four types of domestic violence during the highest peak of the first wave of the pandemic. A multivariate analysis including socio-familial variables was performed, and descriptive and analytical results were obtained. Results: Of the 3272 young people surveyed, verbal violence was associated with a basic educational level (p<0.001), alcohol consumption (p<0.001) and that the father (p=0.040), mother (p<0.001) or siblings (p<0.001) had suffered violence at home. For psychological violence, the father (p=0.031), the mother (p<0.001) or the siblings (p<0.001) had suffered domestic violence. For physical violence, basic education level (p=0.002), the father (p=0.005), the mother (p<0.001) or the siblings (p<0.001) had suffered violence at home. Sexual violence was associated with drug use in the last six months (p<0.001). Discussion: Multiple associations were found with four types of violence perceived by adolescents, which should serve to generate psychological support programs for this group, which has problems due to the stage of life they are in. Conclusion: Honduran adolescents were exposed to four types of violence in the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Among the associated factors were educational level, alcohol and other drug consumption, and a history of violence in the first degree of consanguinity.

The main variable was obtained through the question "if you suffered domestic violence in the last 6 months", being the possible answer verbal, physical, psychological. Descriptive and analytical results were obtained. Results: Of the 8442 Hondurans surveyed, 4.2% (352) perceived verbal violence, 1.9% (165) physical violence and 1.3% (113) psychological violence. In the multivariate analysis, it was found that women (p=0.001), those with a history of alcohol (p=0.002) or drug use (p=0.015), previous mental illness (p<0.001), mild (p<0.001), moderate (p<0.001) or severe (p=0.025) depression (p<0.001) had experienced more domestic violence; On the contrary, there was less perception of domestic violence at higher economic income (all p-values were <0.029), among single (p=0.003) and married people (p<0.001). Discussion: Important factors were found to be associated with suffering from violence, especially social factors and a history of mental illness, as well as alcohol and drug use in the home

Introduction: Adolescence is a stage of physical, psychological, and social changes, which determine the personality of the individual, which can be influenced by physical appearance because of alterations in the skin texture of adolescents. Patients with dermatosis have a higher risk of developing depression, anxiety and suicidal ideas. Acne is an important factor for quality of life and affects adolescents both physically and psychosocially. Objective : To determine the factors associated with the repercussions of acne in adolescents in Honduras. Methodology: Analytical cross-sectional study. The Cardiff Acne Disability Index (CADI) scale was used through a questionnaire in Google Forms. Descriptive and analytical statistics were obtained. Results: Of the 3,272 young participants, with respect to quality of life, 25.8% (845) had medium or high repercussions, 5.3% were very depressed by the appearance of their skin in the month prior to filling out the questionnaire. When multivariate analysis was performed, it was found that those who had medium or high repercussions due to acne were women (RPa: 1.33; 95%CI: 1.20-1.48; p-value<0.001), those of indigenous ethnicity (RPa: 1.36; 95%CI: 1.05-1.75; p-value=0.019), those who had scars on the face (RPa: 13.08; 95%CI: 10.02-17.05; p-value<0.001) or those who had the father (RPa: 1.13; 95%CI: 1.01-1.25; p-value=0.031) or siblings with acne (RPa: 1.16; 95%CI: 1.04-1.28; p-value=0.005). Conclusion: It was found that gender, belonging to an indigenous ethnicity, having scars on the face or that having a close relative who had suffered from acne were associated with medium or high repercussions on the quality of life; it is important to take care of acne in this stage of life to avoid repercussions in adulthood.

Objective To determine whether anxiety and moderate or major depression were associated with high alcohol consumption in Honduran women. Methodology: Cross-sectional and analytic study, using the SRQ test as a screening test for anxiety, depression and alcohol consumption, confirmed with the Hamilton test for anxiety and depression. The crossing of these variables was carried out to obtain descriptive, bivariate and multivariate results. Results Moderate or greater anxiety was more frequent among those with high alcohol consumption (PRa: 1.49; CI95%: 1.09–2.04; p-value = 0.013), was also frequent among those reporting violence at home (PRa: 1.63; CI95%: 1.36–1.94; p < 0.001) and some history of mental pathology at home (PRa: 1.64; CI95%: 1.44–1.87; Value p < 0.001). Moderate or major depression was more frequent among those reporting violence at home (PRa: 1.54; CI95%: 1.30–1.83; p < 0.001) and having some history of mental pathology at home (PRa: 1.38; CI95%: 1.18–1.63; Value p < 0.001). Conclusion A strong association was found between anxiety and high alcohol consumption in this population of women from Honduras, Central America. Intensify screening programs for alcohol consumption in the female population and provide psychological support, as well as conduct future research on a larger scale.

Results: Of the 3309 participants distributed nationally, When multivariate analysis was performed, it was found that there was a greater perception of problematic drug use when there was a history of previous violence (aPR: 1.53; 95%CI: 1.22-1.92; p-value<0.001), if cannabis had been consumed in the last quarter (aPR: 1.29; 95%CI: 1.05-1.58; p-value=0.016), if she stopped doing what was expected (aPR : 7.05; 95%CI: 5.00-9.95; p-value<0.001) or if she worried a friend or family member (aPR: 1.49; 95%CI: 1.20-1.86; p-value<0.001), on the contrary, there was less concern among those with university studies (aPR: 0.70; 95%CI: 0.49-0.99; p-value=0.048), adjusted for six variables.
