“…O interesse em abordar o tema abuso de substâncias no programa de mentoria é presente entre os estudantes de medicina. 29 A mentoria presencial 8,9 ou por aplicativo, 30 para auxiliar o futuro profissional do médico no manejo do risco em situação de potencial abuso de substâncias, é útil para a promoção da saúde, podendo assim contribuir para que os estudantes aprendam a reconhecer os próprios limites e deem mais um passo em direção a busca do real sucesso: equilíbrio.…”

Objetivos: Identificar o padrão de uso das substâncias psicoativas, os fatores associados a esse uso, e a percepção do programa de mentoria diante do comportamento de risco de estudantes do curso de medicina da Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais. Metodologia: Foi realizado um estudo descritivo, observacional e transversal por meio da disponibilização de um formulário on-line contendo questões sobre as informações sociodemográficas, o perfil de uso de substâncias de abuso (moderado, de risco ou dependente) e a percepção do programa de mentoria aos estudantes de medicina. A coleta de dados foi realizada entre fevereiro a novembro de 2019. Resultados: Maior consumo de risco foi observado entre os usuários de álcool, tabaco e maconha. Os estudantes no regime de internato apresentaram maior abuso de álcool. Dentre os fatores de risco destaca-se a presença de um parente com consumo abusivo e o início do consumo antes dos 18 anos de idade. O programa de mentoria foi percebido de forma positiva para a prevenção do comportamento de risco, embora a maioria dos que avaliaram apresentavam consumo de risco para o álcool e/ou outras drogas. Conclusão: O consumo abusivo de substâncias pode ser minimizado por meio de ações implementadas nos programas de mentorias.

Heavy alcohol consumption and other drug use are prominent across Africa and increase the risk of exposure to violence, HIV acquisition, and other life-threatening injuries. This review synthesizes evidence on alcohol and other drug (AOD) interventions in Africa; evaluates the differences between interventions that do and do not specifically target populations that use AODs; and highlights the impact of comprehensive vs. brief interventions and those that address syndemic issues from a gender and contextualized lens. Literature searches were conducted to identify research outcomes of randomized interventions published between January 2010 and May 2022 that address AOD use in Africa. Thirty-five full-text articles were included in this review. Most of the identified research studies were concentrated in a few countries. Most studies were conducted in South Africa. Many of the studies comprised brief interventions. However, the most comprehensive interventions were the most effective for AOD outcomes. Several studies indicated the importance of addressing AOD use alongside gender-based violence, mental health needs, gender roles, and other social determinants that affect health outcomes. Intervening on AOD use and addressing social determinants from a gender and contextually relevant perspective is essential to ensuring the long-term health and well-being of people in Africa.

This work aims to study the entrepreneurial intention of college students’ Internet Entrepreneurship and the potential risk of Internet financial crime from a psychological perspective. Here, the relevant psychological theories are used to analyze the personal and social factors of College Students’ Internet Financing Entrepreneurship. Specifically, College Students’ Internet Financial Entrepreneurship factors are examined alongside the excellence and feasibility of Internet Entrepreneurship. Secondly, it introduces the main types of Internet financial crimes and analyzes the psychological traits of college students’ Internet financial crimes. Further, the research reveals the possibility of college students committing Internet financial crimes by investigating the current situation of College Students’ Internet Entrepreneurship through a questionnaire survey. The results show that 78% of the respondents have studied college Innovation and Entrepreneurship Education (IEE). More than 90% are interested in entrepreneurship, but most have not undertaken entrepreneurship. Therefore, the current college students’ enthusiasm for Internet Financial Entrepreneurship is affected by many factors and is not high. Finally, given the existing problems, hierarchical nesting prevention measures are proposed to prevent college students’ Internet financial crimes during entrepreneurship. This work provides a reference for analyzing the psychological factors of College Students’ Internet Financial Entrepreneurship and preventing potential Internet financial crimes.
