“…Some of the above findings differ from the Brazilian literature, specifically regarding the sex distribution of risk behaviors. For instance, one cross sectional study with adolescents 15-19 years age found no significant differences in tobacco consumption between sexes, 29 and PeNSE 2012, which included Brazilian adolescents aged 13-17 years, reported the same. 17 However, more recently, the international literature, mainly from Europe, shows a higher prevalence of tobacco experimentation among girls aged 16-17 years.…”

Objectives: The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence of the following risk behaviors: experimentation with cigarettes, electronic cigarettes, alcohol, substances, delinquent behavior, and sex at age 15, stratified by sex and socioeconomic position. We also investigated the prevalence of cigarette and alcohol experimentation at age 11 and the persistence and cumulative incidence of these behaviors between 11 and 15 years of age. Methods: In this cohort study, we included 3,491 11-year-olds and 1,949 15-year-olds from the 2004 Pelotas Birth Cohort. All outcomes were identified via confidential questionnaires and were analyzed as binary variables. Results: At age 11, there was a higher prevalence of cigarette experimentation among boys. At age 15, there was a higher prevalence of experimentation with alcohol, cigarettes, and substances among girls; experimentation with cigarettes and sex were more prevalent among those in a low socioeconomic position. We found a high cumulative incidence of alcohol experimentation, as well as persistent alcohol experimentation, in both boys and girls. Conclusions: Further research should clarify causal paths of the high prevalence of risk behaviors during adolescence and its increase among girls.

“…Very distant results were found by Gebert et al [ 47 ], stating that tobacco and cannabis use impairs the attitude towards physical activity as it harms the fitness and health of individuals. However, for the social self-concept, it is stated that tobacco together with alcohol reaffirms people’s social role [ 48 ], with such behavior being especially predominant in the male sex [ 43 ]. In contrast, a positive relationship between tobacco consumption and physical self-concept was observed for males, while this link was negative for females.…”

Nowadays, the adolescent population consumes substances that are harmful to health at an earlier age. Therefore, the present research aimed to (i) develop an explanatory model of tobacco, alcohol, and cannabis consumption on physical self-concept, social self-concept, and physical activity practice and (ii) contrast the model through a multi-group analysis according to the gender of the participants. For this purpose, descriptive, comparative, and cross-sectional research was carried out on adolescent students (M = 13.91; SD = 1.31, years), using the Self-Concept Form 5 Questionnaire, the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents (PAQ-A), and the State Survey on Drug Use in Secondary Education (ETUDES) for data collection. Findings revealed that the consumption of harmful substances has a positive impact on the social area and the practice of physical exercise, showing a negative relationship between the latter variable and the social and physical area of self-concept.

“…There is evidence that age, gender, family conflicts and poor relationships, peer pressure, and low self-esteem and self-efficacy can influence youth’s decisions to smoke or use alcohol and other substances. 2 , 4 , 5 The epidemiological literature indicates that teenagers became involved in substance use at an early age, especially between 11 and 14 years. Young people in this age range have little self-efficacy and resistance against substance use and are often unable to resist peer pressure attempts to use various substances.…”

During the first phases of adolescent development, young people have little self-efficacy and resistance against substance use. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the effectiveness of role-playing scenarios on the self-efficacy of students in resisting substance use. A pre test and post test study design was used with a single group. The study was carried out with 245 secondary school students. The scenario-based training, developed by the researchers, was presented by the school counselors once a week for 4 weeks. For this purpose, a booklet of scenarios was prepared for the teachers. The role-playing scenarios were intended to improve adolescents’ abilities to say “no” to substance offers, to prevent them from becoming addicted to certain substances, and to call for help if needed. The data of the study were collected using the Personal Information Form and the Self-Efficacy for Adolescences Protecting Substance Abuse Scale . The obtained data were assessed using percentages, chi-square, t test, and F test in the SPSS software. Results showed that, after the training, the mean score in the Self-Efficacy for Adolescences Protecting Substance Abuse Scale increased significantly (103.20 ± 20.00) compared with before the training (92.11 ± 17.08) (P < .05). Short-term outcomes of the class-based scenario training were observed to be effective in the development of students’ self-efficacy to resist the temptations of substance use.
