“…Externalizing problems are consistent predictors of adolescent substance use (Helstrom et al, 2004), with delinquent behavior one of the most consistent risk factors for drinking initiation (Donovan, 2004). The relationship between substance involvement and internalizing problems such as depression or anxiety is less established, although several studies have found internalizing symptoms to be associated with adolescent substance use (Lewinsohn et al, 1995;McCarty et al, 2012).…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: Youth substance use exacts costly consequences for a variety of important health outcomes. We examined and compared prevalence rates and a common set of psychosocial factors of lifetime and current substance use among child welfare-involved youths and community youths from two nationally representative data sets. Method: Using the National Survey of Child and Adolescent WellBeing and the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, we compared prevalence rates and conducted logistic regression models for eight binary outcome measures of substance use: lifetime and current use of alcohol, inhalant, marijuana, and other illicit drugs to examine predictors of substance involvement in the two samples. Results: Substance use prevalence was higher among child welfare-involved youths than community youths for lifetime marijuana use, lifetime and current inhalant use, and lifetime and current other illicit drug use. Among both child welfare-involved and community youths, delinquency was the factor most strongly associated with all lifetime substance use outcomes. Notably, family structure and parental closeness were important protective factors against current substance use among child welfare-involved youths. For community youths, poorer emotional health was the strongest indicator of current substance use. Conclusions: Substance use among all adolescents is a critical public health concern. Given the heightened vulnerability of child welfare-involved youths, it is particularly important to focus prevention and early intervention efforts on this population. Further research should explore additional factors associated with substance use among these youths so that child welfare and behavioral health systems may jointly target prevention and intervention efforts.

The relationship of the type of alleged crime with self-esteem and depressive symptoms in juvenile delinquents Objective: Stemmed from the idea of "there is no juvenile delinquent, but rather there are juveniles draged to crime"; the children and adolescents who have been referred to Mus State Hospital Child and Adolescent Psychiatric outpatient clinic with different alleged crime types were examined retrospectively, in terms of depression, self-esteem, and various socio-demographic factors. Method:The study was conducted retrospectively on children and adolescents who were referred to Mus State Hospital between February 2012 and February 2013 for the purpose of forensic psychiatric examination to assess their criminal responsibility regarding the alleged crimes. The children formed three groups of alleged crime types; theft, malicious wounding and terrorist propaganda. Child Depression Inventory (CDI) and Coopersmith Self-Esteem Scale (CSEI) scores were compared.Results: There was a difference between the CDI and CSEI scores of the groups. In post hoc comparisons, the CDI score of the alleged malicious wounding group was lower than the other two groups. CSEI score was significantly higher than the alleged theft group, and almost significantly higher than the alleged terrorist propaganda group.Conclusion: It is observed that there is a difference in terms of CDI and CSEI scores between the groups of alleged crime type. In particular, the CDI scores of the alleged malicious wounding group were lower and their self-esteem was higher than the other two groups. This finding suggests that diverse etiologies may have been effective in directing different crime types in juvenile delinquency. Bulgular: Gruplar arasında ÇDÖ ve CBSÖ puanları arasında farklılık olduğu izlenmiş, yapılan post hoc karşılaştırmalarda kasten yaralama iddiası ile getirilen grubun ÇDÖ puanının diğer iki gruba göre daha düşük olduğu, CBSÖ puanının ise hırsızlık yaptığı iddiası ile getirilen gruptan anlamlı olarak daha yüksek olduğu, terör örgütü propagandası yapmış olma iddiası ile gönderilenlerden ise anlamlılığa yakın düzeyde yüksek olduğu saptanmıştır.Sonuç: Olguların gönderilme nedenleri ile ÇDÖ ve CBSÖ puanları arasında farklılık olduğu izlenmektedir. Özellikle kasten yaralama iddiası ile gönderilenlerin depresif belirtilerinin daha az, benlik saygılarının daha yüksek olduğu, bu araştırmada izlenmektedir. Bu bulgu, aslında çocuk suçluluğunda çok farklı etiyolojilerin farklı suçlara yönlenme konusunda etkili olabileceğini düşündürmektedir.

“…O flagelo do uso de drogas não está restrito ao Brasil, é um problema internacional de saúde como pode ser comprovado por pesquisas realizadas na: Oceania = Austrália; Ásia = Índia e Tailândia; na Europa = Espanha; e América do Norte = Estados Unidos, que apontam o uso de substâncias psicoativas como fator indutor da delinqüência (DURANT; KNIGHT; GOODMAN, 1997;CROWLEY et al, 1998;AMITI-MACKESY;FENDRICH, 1999;KUO et al, 2002;GONZALVO, 2002;BELENKO;LOGAN, 2003;HELSTROM et al, 2004;SWAHN;DONOVAN, 2004;KIM;KIM, 2005;LENNINGS;KENNY;NELSON, 2006).…”

ResumoEm 2005/06, um inquérito epidemiológico sobre a multifatorialidade para dependência química de crianças e adolescentes foi desenvolvido com 3.000 dependentes, em 28 municípios/8 regiões geográficas do Rio de Janeiro. Em cada município, Agentes Comunitários de Saúde e Mães Sociais selecionaram as amostras, com os requisitos: terem entre 4-16 anos, concordarem em ser voluntários, com a permissão dos responsáveis; terem paradeiro conhecido a mais de três anos no local. O questionário pré-elaborado foi respondido por todos, em forma livre de expressão. As opções de respostas de cada item foram transformadas em valores relativos percentuais, que foram comparados entre si pelo teste "z", arbitrandose alfa em 10%. Os 12 descritores de maior moda foram: desagregação familiar quando o pai abandona o lar (20%); desestruturação ou dissolução do núcleo familiar (14%); dependência química nas famílias (13%); prostituição materna (12%); violência doméstica (7%); maus tratos por parte do pai, da mãe, ou dos dois (6%); pai ou mãe presidiário (6%); falta de comprometimento dos pais biológicos (5%); negligência dos responsáveis (5%); abandono do lar por um ou dois genitores (4%); abuso sexual do menor por pai, padrasto/madrasta, tio/tia, primo/prima etc. (4%); mães solteiras que necessitam trabalhar (4%). Concluiu-se que: a desestruturação familiar é o principal fator condicionante para que crianças e adolescentes se tornem usuários dependentes químicos; tanto o pai, quanto a mãe são fundamentais na formação da criança/adolescente com conhecimento para não se tornar dependente químico; a realidade do flagelo do uso de drogas no Rio de Janeiro tem identidade com as situações em outros países; a falta, e o excesso de recursos financeiros dos provedores das crianças e adolescentes, condicionam a falta de atenção para estes, favorecendo a entrada no mundo das drogas; as cinco razões básicas para atração dos jovens ou consumo de drogas divulgadas pela OMS, acontecem no Rio de Janeiro.

AbstractIn 2005/06, an epidemiological study on multifactorial chemical dependency in children and adolescents was conducted with 3,000 addicts, in 28 cities/8 geographic regions of Rio de Janeiro. In each county, Community Health Workers and Foster Parents selected subjects with the following requirements: they had to be between 4-16 years old, agreed to be volunteers with the permission of those responsible; and have lived on location for three years or more. The prepared questionnaire was answered by everyone in free expression. The response options for each item were transformed into percentage figures, which were compared amongst them by test "z", determining alpha at 10%. The 12 highest trend descriptors were: family breakdown when the father abandons the home (20%); disruption or 1 Bacharel em Medicina Veterinária; Especialização em Parasitologia Veterinária; Mestrado em Medicina Veterinária; Doutorad...
