“…These findings are in accordance with epidemiological data showing that men are more prone to substance use disorders and general externalizing problems, [33][34][35] while women are more prone to depressive and anxiety disorders. 36 Our data also confirmed that people who use cannabis and cocaine tend to be younger than those who have never used these substances, which may be due to two factors: first, substance use increases from generation to generation 34 ; and second, the onset of illegal substance use is concentrated among young adulthood (around 20 years of age). 34 Nevertheless, only part of those who experiment with drugs continue to use them.…”

Objectives: To evaluate how personality traits are associated with occasional use, abuse, and dependence of alcohol, cannabis, cocaine, benzodiazepines, and hallucinogens in a large availability sample of adults via online questionnaires. Methods: The sample consisted of 8,646 individuals (24.7% men and 75.3% women) who completed an anonymous web survey. Involvement with drugs and temperament/character traits were assessed through the Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST) and the Temperament and Character Inventory -Revised (TCI-R), respectively. Interactions among variables were analyzed using MANOVA with Bonferroni adjustment. Results: Novelty seeking was the trait most associated with increased involvement with alcohol, cannabis, and cocaine. There was a significant association between harm avoidance and benzodiazepine use. Persistence was lower in cannabis-, benzodiazepine-, and cocaine-dependent subjects, as well as in hallucinogen abusers. Self-directedness was reduced in dependents of all drug classes. No strong relationships were found between other temperament or character dimensions and the severity of drug use. Conclusions: Novelty seeking was associated with increased involvement with all drugs studied in this sample, although to a lesser extent with benzodiazepines and hallucinogens. The temperament and character profile for benzodiazepine use was different from that of other drugs due to the relationship with higher harm avoidance and self-transcendence and lower self-directedness.

Objectives: To identify the user profile in the Outpatient Mental Health and Psychosocial Care Center of Lorena -São Paulo. Methods: A descriptive exploratory study with data collected from medical records of 5,830 users of both services for mental health. Results: We analyzed 5,490 outpatient medical records, and 340 from the Psychosocial Care Center. In the outpatient clinic, 68% of users were women and in the Psychosocial Care Center, 61% were men. Prevalent diagnoses in the outpatient clinic were: neurotic disorders, stress-related and somatoform disorders; in the Psychosocial Care Center, they were disorders arising from the use of psychoactive substances. The medications most commonly prescribed in the clinic were antidepressants, and in the Psychosocial Care Center, antipsychotics. Conclusion: It was noted that mental health services are delivered in a manner that is disjointed from primary care, and it is necessary to implement a support matrix in this city.

“…Estudo prospectivo para demonstrar a incidência de transtornos mentais entre gêneros apresentou uma razão de 1,54 como medida de risco para as mulheres em relação aos homens 26 . Essa predominância de gênero também pode refletir uma diferença subjacente observada em pacientes com TTM, ou seja, maior aceitabilidade social da perda do cabelo e menor frequência na busca de ajuda médica, no sexo masculino 9 .…”

ResumoContexto: A tricotilomania (TTM) caracteriza-se pelo ato de arrancar, de forma recorrente, os próprios cabelos por prazer, gratificação ou alívio de tensão, acarretando perda capilar perceptível. A Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Hairpulling Scale é um instrumento utilizado recentemente em muitos estudos para avaliar sintomas de TTM. Objetivo: O presente trabalho teve como objetivo adaptar essa escala para o idioma português. Métodos: Envolveu cinco etapas: (1) tradução; (2) retradução; (3) revisão técnica e avaliação das equivalências semântica e conceitual por especialistas em saúde mental; (4) avaliação do instrumento por estudantes, por meio da avaliação do grau de compreensão e (5) análise da consistência interna do instrumento pelo coeficiente alfa de Cronbach. Resultados: O instrumento foi traduzido e adaptado para o idioma português. Demonstrou ser de fácil compreensão e o valor da consistência interna correspondeu a 0,96. Conclusão: O instrumento encontra-se traduzido e adaptado para o idioma português. São necessárias análises de equivalência de mensuração e reprodutibilidade.Toledo EL, et al. / Rev Psiq Clín. 2011;38(5):178-83 Palavras-chave: Tricotilomania, adaptação transcultural, escalas, psicometria, estudos de validação. AbstractBackground: Trichotillomania (TTM) is characterized by the act of pulling out, in a recurrent way, your own hair for pleasure, gratification or tension release, leading to a perceptible hair loss, and it is included in the Impulse Control Disorders Unclassified Elsewhere of the DSM-IV-TR (APA, 1994) section. The Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Hairpulling Scale is an instrument used recently in many studies to assess trichotillomania symptoms. Objective: The present paper aims to adapt this scale into the Portuguese language. To cross-culturally adapt the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Hairpulling Scale to Portuguese and evaluate its internal consistency. This instrument aims to evaluate Trichotillomania. Methods: The work consisted of five steps: (1) translation; (2) back-translation; (3) peer review and evaluation of semantic and conceptual equivalences using experts; (4) instrument evaluation through a sample of students, by evaluating their level of understanding; and (5) analysis of the instrument's internal consistency through Cronbach's a-coefficient. Results: The instrument was translated and adapted to Portuguese, and shown to be easily understood, with an internal consistency value of 0.96. Discussion: The instrument is now translated and adapted to Portuguese. Measurement and reproducibility analyses are needed.
