Parental Monitoring of Computer Use and its Association with Drug Use among Students in Southern Brazil

Caracterização do perfil dos estudantes que utilizam álcool e outras drogas no território educacional brasileiro: Uma Revisão de Escopo

“…A análise dos estudos incluídos revelou que o uso de álcool e outras drogas ocorreu predominantemente em jovens entre 12 e 19 anos. Essa constatação reforça as evidências que apontam para a prevalência cada vez mais precoce do uso dessas substâncias no ambiente escolar 8 , destacando a necessidade urgente de implementar estratégias pedagógicas abrangentes e eficazes relacionadas à prevenção e conscientização sobre o uso de álcool e outras drogas [1][2][3][4]8,9,11,12,[16][17][18][20][21][22][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38] .…”

Cannabis use, risk behaviours and harms in Brazil: A comprehensive review of available data indicators

“…Studies with representative and non-representative samples of the general adult population from across Brazil and regional samples (n = 704-8876) showed that socio-demographics (e.g., sex, employment status, region of residence), drug-related (e.g., other drug use) and personality (e.g., novelty-seeking, openness to experience traces) variables were associated with cannabis use (adjusted odds ratios [aOR]/adjusted prevalence ratio [aPR] 1.33-11.72) [5,74,79,88,89]. Another identified associated factor included no parental computer monitoring among 12-17 years-old students (PR = 3.25, p = 0.032, n = 2980) [49].…”

“…Conversely, the repeated cross-sectional National School Health Survey (n = 109,104-125,123) showed an increasing prevalence of past-month cannabis use among primary and secondary students (ninth grade or 13-17 years) from 2.5% (2012), 4.1% (2015) and 5.3% (2019), including consistently higher rates among males and publicschool students, and in the south/southeast regions of Brazil [40][41][42]. In addition to national studies, regional (e.g., city-or state-based sample) surveys focusing on public and/or private school samples involving youth (5th-12th grade or 10-21 years)-mostly from Brazil's (most populous) state of São Paulo-identified rates of 0.6%-23.5% for lifetime, 0.2%-19% for past-year and 0.3%-10.0% for past-month cannabis use in 2005-2019 (n = 126-7176) [43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59].…”
