“…Girls in urban poverty are more likely to miss school to assist with housework and care of siblings (Rafaelli et al 2000;Emerson & Souza 2007) and to be kept at home for protection (Rafaelli et al 2000(Rafaelli et al , 2007. This result places girls, ages 9-10 years, in a vulnerable developmental situation with a 12% higher risk factor for probable DCD compared with boys.…”

“…A quinta dimensão foi formada por uma escala que mede diversas situações de risco (ex., envolvimento com tráfico de drogas, já ter vivido longe da família, ter um parente preso). A escala foi criada para a o estudo da Juventude Brasileira com base na literatura (Raffaelli, Koller, Cerqueira-Santos, & Morais, 2007). As questões foram avaliadas em uma escala Likert de cinco pontos (1 = nunca, 5 = muito frequente).…”

ResumoO estudo teve como objetivo identificar fatores de risco/proteção associados à ocorrência de violência sexual cometida contra adolescentes/jovens brasileiros, tanto no âmbito familiar como comunitário. Participaram do estudo 7316 jovens com idades entre 14 e 24 anos (M = 16,19; DP = 1,82), sendo 3335 do sexo masculino. Os participantes provieram do estudo Juventude Brasileira. Do total da amostra, 6,6% dos participantes revelaram serem vítimas de violência sexual no âmbito familiar e 6,0% no comunitário. O apoio familiar surgiu como uma variável de proteção, tanto para a violência na família quanto na comunidade. O ser menina e consumir álcool apareceram como variáveis de risco para ambos os domínios. Além disso, ter um familiar preso e alcoolismo na família foram variáveis identificadas como de risco no âmbito familiar, enquanto o ter passado fome, ter sofrido violência na comunidade e ter envolvimento com o tráfico foram as variáveis de risco associadas à violência sexual na comunidade.Palavras-chave: risco; juventude; violência sexual. AbstractA study on the risk and protective factors associated with sexual violence against adolescents and youth. The aim of the study was to identify the risk and protection factors associated with sexual violence against Brazilian adolescents and emerging adults for both familiar and community contexts. The study counts with 7316 participants between the ages of 14-24 years old (M = 16.19; SD = 1.82) and 3974 were females from the data set "Brazilian Youth". From the whole sample 6.6% of the participants have suffered sexual violence within family and 6.0% within the community. Familiar support appears as a protective factor for sexual violence in family and in the community as well. Being a female and consume alcohol were the risk factors for both contexts. Besides, having a relative arrested, witnessed violence and alcoholism in family were the risk factors for sexual violence among the family, while starvation experiences, being victim of violence in community and involvement in drug trafficking were the risk factors for sexual violence in the community.Keywords: risk; youth; sexual violence. E stimar a prevalência de violência sexual contra crianças, adolescentes e jovens tem sido um desafio. Os números existentes ainda não conseguem traduzir com exatidão a real dimensão desse problema. Se por um lado o silêncio, o medo, a tolerância e a vergonha ainda são os principais obstáculos para a notificação dos casos, por outro os dados existentes acabam sendo restritos a serviços especializados, a fontes diversas ou a amostras de estudos que não representam a diversidade da população.Esse cenário torna ainda mais complexa a identificação e a discussão dos fatores de risco e proteção inseridos nesse fenômeno. Embora a própria ocorrência de violência sexual por si só já determine a existência de riscos, é necessário conhecer a relação existente entre os fatores que incrementam o perigo e a vulnerabilidade das pessoas e aqueles que, de alguma forma, colaboram com a sua proteç...

“…One might expect a relatively high prevalence of childhood conduct problems in Brazil for two reasons: (1) rates of youth violence are high and violence is typically preceded by childhood conduct problems; (2) Brazilian children living in impoverished urban environments are likely to be exposed to multiple risk factors for conduct problems [21]. The argument that elevated conduct problems in Brazil are probable given high levels of risk exposure assumes that risk factors identified in other countries, such as low family income and exposure to violence, are also implicated in the development of conduct problems in Brazil.…”

PurposeThis study aimed to review evidence on the prevalence of and risk factors for conduct problems in Brazil.MethodsWe searched electronic databases and contacted Brazilian researchers up to 05/2012. Studies were included in the review if they reported the prevalence of or risk factors for conduct problems, conduct disorder, or oppositional defiant disorder for 100 + Brazilian children aged ≤18 years, systematically sampled in schools or the community. Prevalence rates and sex differences were meta-analysed. Risk factor studies were reviewed one by one.ResultsThe average prevalence of conduct problems in screening questionnaires was 20.8 %, and the average prevalence of conduct disorder/oppositional defiant disorder was 4.1 %. There was systematic variation in the results of screening studies according to methodology: recruitment location, informants, instruments, impairment criterion for case definition, and response rates. Risk factors previously identified in high-income countries were mainly replicated in Brazil, including comorbid mental health problems, educational failure, low religiosity, harsh physical punishment and abuse, parental mental health problems, single parent family, and low socioeconomic status. However, boys did not always have higher risk for conduct problems than girls.ConclusionsStudies using screening questionnaires suggest that Brazilian children have higher rates of conduct problems than children in other countries, but diagnostic studies do not show this difference. Risk factors in Brazil were similar to those in high-income countries, apart from child sex. Future research should investigate developmental patterns of antisocial behaviour, employ a variety of research designs to identify causal risk mechanisms, and examine a broader range of risk factors.
