Drugs use in adolescence is an important issue to be discussed, due to the early damage it causes. This study investigated adolescent drugs use, ranging from the first trial to perceptions about treatment adherence. Based on qualitative research, the researchers aimed to understand the problem from the subjects’ viewpoint. Data were analyzed through thematic categorization. Fourteen teenagers were interviewed: mostly males, 14 to 19 years old and low education. Marijuana was the most used drug upon the first trial. Friends, free time and "parties" favored drugs use. Teenagers also used drugs to escape from conflicts and feelings. Different intrinsic and extrinsic factors were reported as favorable to treatment adherence and dropout. The findings can contribute to establish therapeutic intervention proposals for adolescent drug users.

METHODS:The original version of the 2007 YRBS was translated into Portuguese and back-translated into English. The questionnaire versions were analyzed by a committee of experts. The committee used semantic, idiomatic, cultural and conceptual equivalences as criteria of analysis. The fi nal version of the translated 2007 YRBS questionnaire was administered in two occasions, with an interval of two weeks, in a sample of 873 high school students of both sexes, in the city of Londrina, Southern Brazil, to identify the psychometric properties. Test-retest reliability was analyzed by calculating the Kappa index of agreement and prevalence rate of each type of risk behavior when application was repeated. Chi-square test was used to identify statistical differences between the fi rst and second questionnaire applications. RESULTS:After minor changes identifi ed in the translation process, the committee of experts concluded that the Portuguese version of the 2007 YRBS showed semantic, idiomatic, cultural and conceptual equivalences. Signifi cant differences between the prevalence rates of both applications were found in 23.4% of items. The identifi cation of 91% of items with moderate-tosubstantial Kappa index of agreement and mean value of this index of 68.6% indicated the quality of psychometric properties of the Portuguese version of the 2007 YRBS. CONCLUSIONS:The translation, cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric qualities of the 2007 YRBS questionnaire were satisfactory, thus enabling its application in epidemiological studies in Brazil. DESCRIPTORS:Translations. Questionnaires. Adolescent Behavior. Psychometrics. Reproducibility of Results. Brazil.

“…16 Research conducted with adolescents aged between 13 and 15 years in Florianópolis, Porto Alegre and Curitiba (Southern Brazil) found smoking prevalences of 10.7%, 17.7% and 12.6%, respectively. 15 The lower prevalence found in the present study can be the result of the lower age of the studied individuals, but also of a possible underreport of cigarette consumption.…”
