Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are emerging as an important public health problem in developing countries. The risk factors for NCDs are initiated during childhood and adolescence. The aim of this review was to assess the effectiveness of school-based interventions for prevention of NCD risk factors (physical inactivity, diet, and tobacco consumption), and identify processes that affect the main outcome. The retrieved studies from 2001 to 2010 were analyzed for their methodological quality (using standard guidelines), settings, intervention components, and main outcomes. The literature search identified 37 studies. The proportion of studies showing a positive result was 83% (10/12) among those that involved family, 87%(7/8) that involved both community and family, and 76% (13/17) that involved school only. Overall, 80% of the studies reported at least some evidence of a positive intervention effect. The current literature search supports the effectiveness of school-based interventions for prevention of risk factors associated with NCDs.

“…Also the existing studies about the effects of psychodrama are limited to the number of mental and or social health issues. Therefore, it is suggested that some studies be conducted on other topics, such as lack of coping mechanisms (Llorca, Malonda & Samper 2017), smoking control programs (Carolyn 2009), use of drug substances (Karatay and Gürarslan, 2017), and body dissatisfaction (Thompson et al 1999). The study of mental health including the feelings and emotions and also their influences in the people's behavior has gained popularity among researchers in the last decades (Llorca, Malonda & Samper 2017).…”

Background: During the growth process, young adults are often exposed to and involved in a number of risky behaviors which can have permanent social and health-related consequences. Moreover in clinical practice with adolescents, they frequently miss to comply with a therapeutic program. In this regard, designing proper interventions for adolescent behaviors is necessary. Psychodrama is a kind of non-scripted theater often used as a psychotherapy. The purpose of this review is to determine the effect of psychodrama on the health of adolescent girls. Methods: Resources were searched in the databases of Scopus, Ovid, Science Direct, PubMed, Web of Science, IranMedex, and SID, with keywords of "psychodrama", "adolescence", "teenager", "health", and "girls". Both English and Persian resources without time limitation were reviewed. Results: In total, 1840 relevant studies were found. By respecting inclusion criteria, 8 interventional studies were selected to be included in this review. In these studies, some of the effects of psychodrama, such as improving anxiety, depression, oppositional deviant disorder, hyperactivity, frustration, emotional regulation, aggression, conflict resolution skills, forgiveness, self-esteem, and communication skills were determined. Conclusion: The study results indicate improvement of some topics of mental or social health of the adolescent girls. It is suggested that other topics of mental and social health be investigated and more valid studies be designed on the effects of psychodrama on the mental and social and physical health of adolescent girls.

“…El presente trabajo informa de los resultados del cese del tabaquismo en puntos de seguimiento múltiples y, al igual que en otros estudios, se comprueba cómo el efecto disminuye progresivamente durante este período (Grimshaw y Stanton, 2007;Myers y Brown, 2005) de forma que la reincidencia temprana es un peligro obvio. De los tres controles realizados tras la intervención, la medición del consumo a los doce meses es el mejor indicador ya que evita los sesgos del consumo intermitente típico del tabaquismo adolescente (Burton et al, 2009;Grimshaw y Stanton, 2007;Hughes et al, 2003;Johnson et al, 2009). La respuesta verbal sobre la abstinencia que dan los participantes se ha controlado con la realización de cooximetrías en cada visita de control, con un buen resultado por parte de los no fumadores al obtener en todos los casos un resultado compatible con el cese del consumo.…”

“…Los programas escolares destinados a niños y jóvenes, muchos de ellos dirigidos a la prevención, son las intervenciones más ampliamente utilizadas y cuentan con una amplia experiencia; sin embargo, en los últimos años se ha cuestionado su eficacia (Barrueco et al, 2007). Por otro lado, las intervenciones individuales realizadas en adultos no tienen igual validez sobre los adolescentes fumadores dadas las diferencias en los patrones de consumo de tabaco, el estilo de vida y las actitudes hacia los servicios sanitario de este grupo etario (Grimshaw y Stanton, 2007;Johnson et al, 2009). Existe una gran variabilidad en la atención prestada a estos adolescentes fumadores así como una falta de información contrastada acerca de la efectividad de los protocolos de intervención para dejar de fumar (Barrueco et al, 2007;Grimshaw y Stanton, 2007).…”

We set out to determine the efficiency of two motivational interventions (brief and intensive) in adolescent smokers, based on obtaining cognitive dissonance and seeking to help them stop smoking. A multicenter randomized experimental study was carried out at five high schools. Individual anti-smoking interventions were applied at the schools, the participants being adolescent smokers (≤20 years) who wished to quit smoking. Exclusion criteria were use of anti-smoking drugs, severe psychiatric illness and pregnancy. Informed consent was obtained and a questionnaire recorded demographic variables and alcohol/tobacco/other drug use. Two motivational interventions were carried out at each school by GP, in accordance with a stratified randomization procedure: intensive (four sessions, progressive reduction of smoking) and brief (single session, immediate cessation of smoking). Smoking abstinence was confirmed by co-oximetry at 1, 6 and 12 months after the intervention, with analysis by intention to treat. A total of 92 adolescents participated, with a mean age of 15.4±1.0 years; no differences at the beginning of the interventions: daily smokers accounted for 82% of the sample, with low dependence (62%) and moderate-high motivation to quit smoking (88%). Seventy-eight per cent used alcohol and 21% other drugs. Family functioning and social support were normal in the majority. 47% received the intensive intervention. Abstinence was achieved by 64%±5.0 by the first month (20% better in intensive intervention), 42%±5.2 by the sixth month and 27%±4.6 by the twelfth month (without differences). The brief intervention appears to be more efficient, while more research is needed to determine the profile of those adolescents who would benefit from intensive intervention.Key words: adolescent, smoking, cognitive dissonance, smoking cessation.Se desea determinar la eficiencia de dos intervenciones motivacionales en adolescentes, basadas en el uso de disonancias cognitivas, para conseguir el cese del tabaquismo. Se realiza un estudio experimental aleatorizado multicéntrico en 5 Institutos de Educación Secundaria. Se proponen intervenciones individuales en los institutos participando adolescentes fumadores (≤20 años) que desean dejar de fumar, con exclusión de embarazadas, trastornos graves de salud mental o uso de drogas antitabaco. Se recogió el consentimiento informado y un cuestionario previo (variables demográficas, consumo de tabaco/alcohol/drogas, apoyo familiar/social). Se desarrollan dos intervenciones por médicos de familia en el propio instituto mediante un muestreo aleatorio estratificado: intensiva (cuatro sesiones de 15 minutos, reducción progresiva del consumo) y breve (sesión única de 15 minutos, cese inmediato del consumo). Se confirma la abstinencia mediante cooximetría el primer, sexto y duodécimo mes tras la intervención, con análisis por intención de tratar. Participan 92 adolescentes, con edad media 15,4±1,0 años, sin diferencias al principio de las intervenciones: 82% fuman a diario, con baja dependencia (6...
