Prevalência e fatores de riscos relacionados a comportamentos suicidas em profissionais do sexo / Prevalencia y factores de riesgo relacionados con la conducta suicidal en trabajadores sexuales / Prevalence and risk factors related to suicidal behavior in sex workers

Introdução: O trabalho sexual consentido é, historicamente, permeado por estigmas, proporcionando a marginalização social de profissionais do sexo e sua maior exposição a fatores de riscos que tendenciam a condutas suicidas. Objetivo: Identificar a prevalência e dos fatores de riscos relacionados a comportamentos suicidas em profissionais do sexo, tendo em vista a vulnerabilidade social desse grupo. Metodologia: Este estudo é uma revisão integrativa de literatura, determinada a partir da seguinte questão de pesquisa: "Qual a prevalência e os fatores de riscos relacionados a comportamentos suicidas entre profissionais do sexo?". Em seguida, aplicou os subsequentes Descritores em Ciências da Saúde: "Suicide" e "Sex workers", que foram combinados com o operador booleano "AND", nas plataformas National Library of Medicine, Science Direct, Portal de Periódicos da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior, Literatura Latino-americana e do Caribe, Scientific Eletronic Library Online, BioMed Central, Business Source Completee WorldWideScience. Foram selecionados 19 artigos relacionados ao objeto de estudo. Resultados: A prevalência de suicídio em profissionais do sexo foi classificada em três subcategorias: tentativas de suicídio, com predominância de 31,57% (n=6), ideação suicida com 15,78% (n=3) e o risco de suicídio com 5,26% (n=1). Os riscos de comportamentos suicidas foram associados a diversos fatores, sobretudo a violência (47,36%; n=9), depressão (26,31%; n=5) e a pobreza (15,78%; n=3). Conclusões: Há uma alta prevalência de comportamentos suicidas em profissionais do sexo que está associada a diversos fatores de riscos, verificando a carência de abordagens comunitárias direcionadas à vulnerabilidade social desse grupo (AU).

Introduction: Consensual sex work has historically been permeated by stigma, leading to the social marginalization of sex workers and their increased exposure to risk factors that tend to correlate with suicidal behaviors. Objective:To explore the prevalence and risk factors related to suicidal behavior in sex workers, considering the social vulnerability of this group. Methodology: This study is an integrative literature review, guided by the research question: "What is the prevalence and risk factors related to suicidal behaviors among sex workers?" The following Health Science Descriptors were applied: "Suicide" and "Sex workers," combined with the boolean operator "AND," on platforms such as the National Library of Medicine, Science Direct, Portal de Periódicos da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior, Literatura Latino-americana e do Caribe, Scientific Eletronic Library Online, BioMed Central, Business Source Complete, and WorldWideScience. Nineteen articles related to the study's objectivewere selected. Results:The prevalence of suicide among sex workers were classified into three subcategories: suicide attempts, with a predominance of 31.57% (n=6), suicidal ideation with 15.78% (n=3) and the risk of suicide with a prevalence of 5.26% (n=1). The risks of suicidal behavior were associated with several factors, especially violence (47,36%; n=9), depression (26.31%; n=5) and poverty (15.78% /n=3). Conclusions: There is a high prevalence of suicidal behaviors among sex workers, associated with various risk factors, highlighting the need for community-based approaches addressing the social vulnerability of this group (AU).

Shroud waving self-determination: A qualitative analysis of the moral and epistemic dimensions of obstetric violence in the Netherlands.

Obstetric violence is an urgent global problem. Recently, several studies have appeared on obstetric violence in the Netherlands, indicating that it is a more widespread phenomenon in Dutch maternity care than commonly thought. At the same time, there has been very little public outrage over these studies. The objective of this qualitative research is to gain insight into the working and normalization of obstetric violence by focusing on the moral and epistemic injustices that both facilitate obstetric violence and make it look acceptable. Following the study design of Responsive Evaluation, interviews, homogenous, and heterogenous focus groups were done in three phases, with thirty-one participants, consisting of ten mothers, eleven midwives, five doulas and five midwives in training. All participants were already critically engaged with the topic, which was a selection criterion to be able to bring the existing depth of knowledge on this topic of people in the field to the fore. Data was analyzed through Thematic Analysis. We elaborate on two groups of results. First, we discuss the forms of obstetric violence most commonly mentioned by the participants, which were vaginal examinations, episiotomies, and pelvic floor support. Second, we demonstrate two major themes that concern practices related to moral and epistemic injustice: 1) 'Playing the dead baby card', with the sub-themes 'shroud waving', 'hidden agenda', and 'normalizing obstetric violence'; and 2) 'Troubling consent', with sub-themes 'not being asked for consent', 'saying "yes"', 'saying "no"', and 'giving up resistance'. While epistemic injustice has been analyzed in relation to obstetric violence, moral injustice has not yet been conceptualized as a fundamental part of both the practice and the justification of obstetric violence. This research hence contributes not only to the better understanding of obstetric violence in the Netherlands, but also to a further theorization of this specific form of gender-based violence.

Entre a cruz e a espada: dimensões do aparecimento em partilhas do sensível de travestis na prostituição durante a pandemia de covid-19 / Between a rock and a hard place: dimensions of appearance in the partition of the sensible of transvestite prostitutes during the covid-19 pandemic / Entre la cruz y la espada: dimensiones de la aparición en distribución de lo sensible de travestis en la prostitución durante la pandemia de covid-19

Este artigo tem como objetivo compreender as diferentes dimensões do aparecimento das travestis da Av. Pedro II, importante avenida da cidade de Belo Horizonte, durante a pandemia de covid-19. A partir de conceitos como partilhas do sensível e aparecimento foram analisados relatos das travestis, extraídos: a) do livro Translado - com o objetivo de contextualizar as rotinas pré-pandemia; b) de entrevistas realizadas por telefone em 2020; e c) de um grupo focal realizado em 2021 presencialmente. O método utilizado para sistematizar e analisar o material foi a montagem de cena, inspirada em Jacques Rancière. Os resultados indicam, por um lado, situações de humilhação, desigualdade e violência. Por outro, desvelam formas de subversão de hierarquias, estratégias de aparecimento e subjetivação política.

The article aims to understand the different dimensions of the appearance of transvestites during the Covid-19 pandemic. The study focused on transvestites located on Av. Pedro II, an important avenue in the city of Belo Horizonte. Based on concepts such as distribution of the sensible and appearance, reports by transvestites were analysed. They were extracted from: a) the book Translado ­ to contextualize pre-pandemic routines; b) interviews by telephone in 2020; and c) a face-to-face focus group carried out in 2021. The method used to systematise and analyse the material was scene montage, inspired by Jacques Rancière. The results indicate, on the one hand, situations of humiliation, inequality, and violence. On the other hand, they reveal forms of subversion of hierarchies, strategies of appearance and political subjectivati.

Prosocial behaviours and emotional intelligence as factors associated with healthy lifestyles and violence in adolescents.

Adolescence is a stage of life characterised by vulnerability, which shapes young people's trajectories and potentially influences their behaviour. In this crucial period, the promotion of prosocial behaviours and the development of emotional intelligence are understood as key factors influencing adolescents' psychological and personal well-being. The general objective of this study was to find out the relationship between these two variables - prosocial behaviours and emotional intelligence - and their correlation with the maintenance of a healthy lifestyle and another fundamental aspect such as violence among young people in the academic context. A total of 743 secondary school students participated in this research with a descriptive-cross-sectional design. This study used several instruments, including an ad hoc questionnaire to assess socio-demographic aspects and school violence, the Prosocial Behaviour Questionnaire (PBQ), the TMMS-24 for the assessment of Emotional Intelligence, the Healthy Lifestyles Questionnaire (HLQ-II) and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SLS). The results highlighted a convincing link between the display of prosocial behaviours and emotional intelligence with various dimensions of healthy living such as healthy diet or respect for mealtimes. In particular, the research revealed a pronounced correlation between adolescents who showed greater emotional repair and respect and their lower involvement in school violence and substance use. In addition, the likelihood of having a healthy life was found to be linked to variables such as being male, respect, social relationships and emotional repair. In contrast, the likelihood of having an excessive consumption of certain harmful substances such as alcohol or tobacco was found to be linked to age, empathy and emotional clarity. These results highlight the crucial role that prosocial behaviours and emotional intelligence play in shaping adolescents' lives. In conclusion, the need to promote such variables as prosocial behaviours and emotional intelligence in adolescent students in order to promote healthy lifestyles and reduce school violence and substance use in this age group is discussed.

Whole-school interventions promoting student commitment to school to prevent substance use and violence, and improve educational attainment: a systematic review.

Background: Whole-school interventions modify the school environment to promote health. A subset of these interventions promotes student commitment to school to prevent substance (tobacco, alcohol, other drugs) use and/or violence. A previous review identified the theory of human functioning and school organisation as a comprehensive theory of such interventions, and found evidence that these interventions reduce substance use and/or violence. Objectives: The objectives were to search for, appraise and synthesise evidence to address the following questions: (1) What whole-school interventions promoting student commitment to school to prevent substance use and/or violence have been evaluated, what intervention subtypes are apparent and how closely do these align with the theory of human functioning and school organisation? (2) What factors relating to setting, population and intervention affect implementation? (3) What are the effects on student substance use, violence and educational attainment? (4) What is the cost-effectiveness of such interventions? (5) Are intervention effects mediated by student commitment to school or moderated by setting or population? Data sources: A total of 56 information sources were searched (in January 2020), then an updated search of 48 of these was carried out (in May 2021). Reference lists were also searched and experts were contacted. Review methods: Eligible studies were process/outcome evaluations of whole-school interventions to reduce student violence or substance use among students aged 5-18 years attending schools, via actions aligning with the theory of human functioning and school organisation: modifying teaching to increase engagement, enhancing student-staff relationships, revising school policies, encouraging volunteering or increasing parental involvement. Data extraction and quality assessments used existing tools. Theory and process reports were synthesised qualitatively. Outcome and economic data were synthesised narratively; outcome data were meta-analysed. Results: Searches retrieved 63 eligible reports on 27 studies of 22 interventions. We identified four intervention subtypes focused on student participation in school-wide decisions, improving staff-student relationships, increasing engagement in learning and involving parents. The theories of change of most intervention subtypes aligned closely with the theory of human functioning and school organisation, and informed refinement of an intervention theory of change. Theories of change for interventions increasing learning engagement did not align with this theory, aiming instead to increase school commitment primarily via social skills curricula. Factors influencing the implementation included whether or not interventions were tailorable, workable and well explained. Interventions with action groups comprising staff/students, etc. and providing local data were well implemented. Implementation was also affected by whether or not schools accepted the need for change and staff had the resources for delivery. Meta-analyses suggest small, but significant, intervention effects in preventing violence victimisation and perpetration, and substance use. There was sparse and inconsistent evidence of moderation and some evidence of mediation by student commitment to school. Two economic evaluations suggested that there is the potential for the interventions to be cost-effective. Limitations: The quality of the studies was variable and the economic synthesis was limited to two studies. Conclusions: Whole-school interventions aiming to promote student commitment to school share similar theories of change and factors affecting implementation. They have the potential to contribute to preventing violence and substance use among young people. Future trials should aim to optimise intervention effectiveness by better theorisation, and assess implementation and effect moderators and mediators.

Whole-school health interventions aim to modify how schools are run, to promote students' health. Some aim to promote student commitment to school to prevent the important interlinked outcomes of substance (tobacco, alcohol, other drugs) use and violence. We searched for all evaluations of such interventions. We summarised what this research said about the sorts of interventions used, how they are meant to work, what factors affect delivery, whether or not they reduce violence and substance use and whether or not they are worth the money. We found 63 reports on 27 studies of 22 interventions. We identified four subtypes of interventions. These aimed to involve students in school decisions, improve staff­student relationships, increase engagement in learning or involve parents. Most of these interventions were intended to work by making sure schools focused on student needs, or by improving relationships between staff and students, between different areas of learning or between schools and communities. This aimed to make students feel committed to school and therefore avoid violence or substance use. A few aimed to work mostly by teaching students how to avoid violence and substance use. We found that interventions were well implemented if they were tailored for each school and had good materials and support. Interventions were well delivered if they were led by action groups (comprising staff, students, etc.) or provided schools with information on students' needs. Implementation was affected by whether or not schools accepted the need for change and whether or not staff had the necessary time and money to do the work. These interventions appear to have small, but significant, intervention impacts in preventing violence and substance use among young people. There was not consistent evidence of different effects for different students. A small number of studies suggest that such interventions might show economic benefit, but this would need further research. Future research should focus on interventions that are refined to make sure that they can be well delivered.

[Bullying victimization and associated factors among schoolchildren in a city in the south of Brazil]. / Vitimização por bullying e fatores associados entre escolares de um município do Sul do Brasil.

The objective was to assess the prevalence of bullying victimization and associated factors among adolescents in the city of Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul. A cross-sectional school-based study was conducted with 795 ninth grade students from 25 urban municipal schools linked to the School Health Program. Bullying was assessed using questions that addressed the occurrence, frequency, location, type of violence suffered and how much it bothers the victims. Gross and adjusted analyses were performed by Poisson regression. Approximately 71% of the students reported having suffered bullying, and school was the location of greatest occurrence (86.7%). Among the types of aggression suffered, "nicknames" was the most recurrent complaint (88.4%), followed by exclusion or isolation (26.6%). Victimization was more frequent among girls (PR 1.13; 95%CI 1.02-1.27), students with non-white skin color/race (PR 1.16; 95%CI 1.05-1.29), who have already tried tobacco (PR 1.14; 95%CI 1.03-1.27), dissatisfied (PR 1.42; 95%CI 1.27-1.58) or indifferent (PR 1.21; 95%CI 1.02-1.43) about their bodies, and who were overweight (PR 1.15; 95%CI 1.04-1.27). The results show that bullying is a frequent practice in the school environment, pointing to the need for educational practices aimed at reducing and preventing this type of violence.

O objetivo foi avaliar a prevalência de vitimização por bullying e seus fatores associados entre adolescentes da cidade de Pelotas, RS. Estudo transversal de base escolar realizado com 795 alunos do 9o ano do ensino fundamental de 25 escolas municipais urbanas vinculadas ao PSE. O bullying foi avaliado por meio de perguntas que abordaram a ocorrência, a frequência, o local, o tipo de violência sofrida e o quanto isso incomoda as vítimas. Análises bruta e ajustada foram feitas por regressão de Poisson. Aproximadamente 71% dos estudantes relataram ter sofrido bullying, a escola foi o local de maior ocorrência (86,7%). Entre os tipos de agressões sofridas, "apelidos" foi a queixa mais recorrente (88,4%), seguida por exclusão ou isolamento (26,6%). A vitimização foi mais frequente entre as meninas (RP 1,13; IC95% 1,02-1,27), estudantes com cor da pele/raça não branca (RP 1,16; IC95% 1,05-1,29), que já experimentaram tabaco (RP 1,14; IC95% 1,03-1,27), insatisfeitos (RP 1,42; IC95% 1,27-1,58) ou indiferentes (RP 1,21; IC95% 1,02-1,43) em relação ao corpo e que apresentavam excesso de peso (RP 1,15; IC95% 1,04-1,27). Os resultados mostram que o bullying é uma prática frequente no ambiente escolar, apontando para a necessidade de práticas educativas voltadas para a redução e prevenção desse tipo de violência.

Distress about social problems and tobacco and cannabis use outcomes among young adults in Los Angeles County.

OBJECTIVE: To examine associations of concern, worry, and stress about discrimination, shootings/violence, and police brutality and exclusive and dual tobacco and cannabis use among young adults. METHODS: A prospective, racially/ethnically diverse cohort of young adults (n = 1960) living in Los Angeles, California completed a baseline survey in 2020 (age range: 19-23) and a follow-up survey in 2021. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was employed on nine variables assessing levels of concern, worry, and stress about societal discrimination, societal shootings/violence, and community police brutality at baseline. Past 30-day tobacco and cannabis use at follow-up was categorized as current exclusive tobacco, exclusive cannabis, and dual tobacco and cannabis (vs never/former) use based on eleven use variables. Multinomial logistic regressions estimated adjusted associations between each factor score (translated to standard deviation units) with exclusive and dual tobacco and cannabis use. RESULTS: The EFA produced four factor scores representing concern/worry/stress (i.e., distress) about community police brutality (F1), distress about societal shootings/violence (F2), and distress about societal discrimination (F3), as well as generalized stress about police brutality, shootings/violence, and discrimination (F4). F1, F2, and F3 were associated with subsequent exclusive current cannabis use, with F1 having the strongest association (OR: 1.35, 95% CI: 1.18-1.55), while only F1 (OR: 1.51, 95% CI: 1.27-1.78) was associated with dual tobacco and cannabis use. None of the factors were associated with exclusive tobacco use. CONCLUSIONS: Young adult concern, worry, and/or stress about social problems may increase risk of cannabis use with or without concurrent tobacco use 6-12 months later.

Social support in relation to posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms among patients with violent versus nonviolent injury.

OBJECTIVE: Violent injuries have become increasingly more common in the United States. Individuals experiencing violent injury are at increased risk for the development of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as compared to those experiencing nonviolent injury. Social support is touted as a protective factor against various psychiatric symptoms (i.e., PTSD), though little is known about the relation between PTSD symptoms and social support in traumatic injury populations. The aims of the present paper were twofold: (1) examine the prevalence of PTSD as a function of injury type (2) explore differences in levels of social support as a function of injury type and (3) explore the association between injury type and later PTSD symptoms as moderated by baseline social support. METHOD: Participants were 553 adults from a level-one trauma center in the Southeast United States who experienced a violent injury or nonviolent injury and completed measures of social support at baseline as well as PTSD symptoms at the 30-day follow-up timepoint. The study utilized data from both the baseline timepoint (i.e., upon admission to the trauma surgery unit), as well as a 30-day follow-up timepoint. RESULTS: Results demonstrated that those endorsing nonviolent injury reported lower levels of social support and PTSD symptoms. Social support predicted later PTSD symptoms until injury type was included as a covariate in the model. Social support did not moderate the relationship between injury type and later PTSD symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: Findings highlight the interrelatedness of key risk variables (i.e., injury type) with protective factors in influencing the trajectory of psychopathology postinjury. Violence intervention and interruption programs may have the capacity to fill patient needs when social support networks are insufficient.

The association between youth violence and mental health outcomes in Colombia: A cross sectional analysis.

BACKGROUND: Violence against children and youth poses public health risks regarding mental health symptoms and substance use. Less studied is the relationship between violence and mental health/substance abuse in the Latin American context. This study explored sex-stratified relationships between violence and mental health/substance use among Colombian youth. METHODS: We analyzed the 2018 Colombian Violence Against Children and Youth Survey, which collected cross-sectional data from Colombian youth (13-24 years) (n = 2705). Exposure variables were (i) binary sexual, emotional, and physical victimization and (ii) poly-victimization. The outcomes were binary suicidal thoughts, self-harm, past-month psychological distress, binge drinking, smoking, and drug use. Sex-stratified, logistic regressions were adjusted for age, primary school, parental presence, relationship status, and witnessing community violence. RESULTS: For females, (i) emotional violence (compared to being unexposed) was associated with greater odds of suicidal thoughts, self-harm, and psychological distress and (ii) sexual violence was associated with suicidal thoughts and self-harm. For males, (i) emotional violence (compared to being unexposed) was associated with greater odds of suicidal thoughts and psychological distress, but not self-harm and (ii) sexual violence exposure was associated with suicidal thoughts and self-harm. Physical violence was generally not associated with internalized mental health outcomes for females/males, when emotional and sexual violence were held constant. Poly-victimization was consistently and positively associated with internalized mental health symptoms among females, and to a lesser degree for males. Substance use outcomes for males or females were not associated with violence. CONCLUSIONS: Findings highlight the internalized mental health burden of emotional and sexual violence.

[Aggressiveness and violence in daily ophthalmology practice: Descriptive analysis of a survey sent to residents and assistants in Grand Est and Bourgogne-Franche-Comté]. / Agressivité et violence au cours de l'exercice professionnel en ophtalmologie : analyse descriptive d'un questionnaire adressé aux internes et assistants des régions Grand Est, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté.

INTRODUCTION: The goal of this study was to estimate the prevalence of workplace violence in a population of young ophthalmologists in France and to characterize these situations. METHODS: We conducted an epidemiological descriptive, cross-sectional, multi-center study based on an anonymous questionnaire. We submitted a questionnaire to all ophthalmology residents and fellows (n=157) in the Grand Est and Bourgogne-Franche-Comté regions between December 2020 and March 2021. RESULTS: The overall response rate was 76.4% (n=120, 55% female and 45% male) of whom 81.6% reported having faced aggression at least once. For 50.9% of participants, aggression had occurred several times per year. These situations occurred during the first year of residency in 64.3% of cases. They mainly consisted of verbal aggression (98.8%) by a patient or their relatives (43.7% and 29.8%). The main complaints voiced by these individuals concerned the wait time (40%) and the feeling of lack of competence or improper medical care (26.8%). Fifty-seven percent of people who faced these situations thought about it for at least a week, and 20.4% of those exposed felt anxiety at work after the incident. CONCLUSION: We found high prevalence of verbal aggression in professional ophthalmology practice. Although these situations were mainly verbal aggression without significant consequences, they sometimes lead to anxiety in the aftermath. We should prepare medical students to manage them, through appropriate theoretical and practical training, such as medical simulation described in this article.

Racial/Ethnic disparities in exposure to neighborhood violence and lung cancer risk in Chicago.

BACKGROUND: Despite the lower prevalence and frequency of smoking, Black adults are disproportionately affected by lung cancer. Exposure to chronic stress generates heightened immune responses, which creates a cell environment conducive to lung cancer development. Residents in poor and segregated neighborhoods are exposed to increased neighborhood violence, and chronic exposure to violence may have downstream physiological stress responses, which may explain racial disparities in lung cancer in predominantly Black urban communities. METHODS: We utilized retrospective electronic medical records of patients who underwent a screening or diagnostic test for lung cancer at an academic medical center in Chicago to examine the associations between lung cancer diagnosis and individual characteristics (age, gender, race/ethnicity, and smoking status) and neighborhood-level homicide rate. We then used a synthetic population to estimate the neighborhood-level lung cancer risk to understand spatial clusters of increased homicide rates and lung cancer risk. RESULTS: Older age and former/current smoking status were associated with increased odds of lung cancer diagnosis. Hispanic patients were more likely than White patients to be diagnosed with lung cancer, but there was no statistical difference between Black and White patients in lung cancer diagnosis. The odds of being diagnosed with lung cancer were significantly higher for patients living in areas with the third and fourth quartiles of homicide rates compared to the second quartile of homicide rates. Furthermore, significant spatial clusters of increased lung cancer risk and homicide rates were observed on Chicago's South and West sides. CONCLUSIONS: Neighborhood violence was associated with an increased risk of lung cancer. Black residents in Chicago are disproportionately exposed to neighborhood violence, which may partially explain the existing racial disparity in lung cancer. Incorporating neighborhood violence exposure into lung cancer risk models may help identify high-risk individuals who could benefit from lung cancer screening.

Death by the minute: Inequities in trauma care for victims of firearm violence.

BACKGROUND: Gunshot wounds (GSWs) remain a significant source of mortality in the United States. Timely delivery of trauma care is known to be critical for survival. We sought to understand the relationship of predicted transport time and death after GSW. Given large racial disparities in firearm violence, we also sought to understand disparities in transport times and death by victim race, an unstudied phenomenon. METHODS: Firearm mortality data were obtained from the Boston Police Department 2005 to 2023. Firearm incidents were mapped using ArcGIS. Predicted transport times for each incident to the closest trauma center were calculated in ArcGIS. Spatial autoregressive models were used to understand the relationship between victim race, transport time to a trauma center, and mortality associated with the shooting incidents. RESULTS: There were 4,545 shooting victims with 758 deaths. Among those who lived, the median transport time was 9.4 minutes (interquartile range, 5.8-13.8) and 10.5 minutes (interquartile range, 6.4-14.6; p = 0.003) for those who died. In the multivariable logistic regression, increased transport time to the nearest trauma center (odds ratio, 1.024; 95% confidence interval, 1.01-1.04) and age (odds ratio, 1.016; 95% confidence interval, 1.01-1.02) were associated with mortality. There was a modest difference in median transport time to the nearest trauma center by race with non-Hispanic Black at 10.1 minutes, Black Hispanic 9.2 minutes, White Hispanic 8.5 minutes, and non-Hispanic White 8.3 minutes ( p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Our results highlight the relationship of transport time to a trauma center and death after a GSW. Non-White individuals had significantly longer transport times to a trauma center and predicted mortality would have been lower with White victim transport times. These data underscore the importance of timely trauma care for GSW victims and can be used to direct more equitable trauma systems. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Prognostic/Epidemiological; Level III.

Pediatric Surgery Firearm Injury Collaborative Symposium.

Injury from a firearm is now the leading cause of death of children and youth under age 19 in the United States (U.S.) [1] and the incidence of these deaths continues to increase each year [2]. For every death from firearm violence, there are several young people who have been injured by a bullet but not killed. As pediatric surgeons, we are on the front lines of treating these young patients. We have the unforgettable memories of delivering the horrible news to parents in "quiet rooms." [3]. As these injuries fall within our scope of practice, it is incumbent on us as professionals to work to prevent these injuries, apply best practices and work for the best pathways to recovery for our patients who do survive. There is a diverse community of pediatric surgeons tackling this public health problem in a variety of ways [4]. In a pre-meeting symposium at the APSA 2023 Annual meeting, we brought together a community of pediatric surgeons working on this critical area. The following summarizes the presentations of the symposium, with topics including Risk Factors, Injury Prevention, Treatment, Public Initiatives, and National Collaborative Efforts. TYPE OF STUDY: Review Article, Proceedings of a Symposium. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 1 through 4 all presented.

Dentistry Students' Knowledge of Pediatric Patients Who Suffered Violence: A Systematic Review

ABSTRACT Objective: To review the literature unprecedentedly to identify the dentistry students' knowledge of pediatric patients who suffered violence. Material and Methods: A systematic review was conducted using PubMed, Web of Science, LILACS, SciELO, Google Scholar, and OpenGrey electronic databases up to November 2021. The "Grey Literature" was verified through Google Scholar and Open Grey searches to avoid any selection bias. There was no restriction on the date of publication or language. Results: The systematic search yielded 2.756 studies in the first selection phase, but only twenty-two articles were included. All selected articles were published between 1998 and 2021 and used a questionnaire to evaluate the dentistry students' knowledge regarding child maltreatment cases. Brazil was the country that had the most studies included (10 articles). Despite the majority of the students presenting insufficient knowledge about child maltreatment, evidence from this research showed that every form of approach by professionals toward child maltreatment should be considered important. Conclusion: Therefore, there are deficiencies regarding the teaching-learning methodology, reinforcing the need for improvements in Dentistry undergraduate curricula.

Economic Burden of Health Conditions Associated With Adverse Childhood Experiences Among US Adults.

Importance: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are preventable, potentially traumatic events in childhood, such as experiencing abuse or neglect, witnessing violence, or living in a household with substance use disorder, mental health problems, or instability from parental separation or incarceration. Adults who had ACEs have more harmful risk behaviors and worse health outcomes; the economic burden associated with these issues is uncertain. Objective: To estimate the economic burden of ACE-associated health conditions among US adults. Design, Setting, and Participants: In this economic evaluation, regression models of cross-sectional survey data from the 2019-2020 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) and previous studies were used to estimate ACE population-attributable fractions (PAFs) (ie, the fraction of total cases associated with a specific exposure) for selected health outcomes (anxiety, arthritis, asthma, cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, depression, diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, stroke, and violence) and risk factors (heavy drinking, illicit drug use, overweight and obesity, and smoking) among the 2019 US adult population. Adverse childhood experience PAFs were used to calculate the proportion of total condition-specific medical spending and lost healthy life-years related to ACEs using Global Burden of Disease Study data. Data analysis was performed from September 10, 2021, to November 29, 2022. Exposure: Adverse childhood experiences (age <18 years). Main Outcomes and Measures: Monetary valuation of ACE-associated morbidity and mortality using standard US value of statistical life methods and presented in terms of annual and lifetime per affected person and total population estimates at the national and state levels. Results: A total of 820 673 adults, representing 255 million individuals, participated in the BRFSS in 2019 and 2020. An estimated 160 million of the total 255 million US adult population (63%) had 1 or more ACE, associated with an annual economic burden of $14.1 trillion ($183 billion in direct medical spending and $13.9 trillion in lost healthy life-years). This was $88 000 per affected adult annually and $2.4 million over their lifetimes. The lifetime economic burden per affected adult was lowest in North Dakota ($1.3 million) and highest in Arkansas ($4.3 million). Twenty-two percent of adults had 4 or more ACEs and comprised 58% of the total economic burden-the estimated per person lifetime economic burden for those adults was $4.0 million. Conclusions and Relevance: In this cross-sectional analysis of the US adult population, the economic burden of ACE-related health conditions was substantial. The findings suggest that measuring the economic burden of ACEs can support decision-making about investing in strategies to improve population health.

A Colonização da Adolescência e sua Subversão pela Psicanálise / The Colonization of Adolescence and its Subversion by Psychoanalysis / La Colonización de la Adolescencia y su Subversión por el Psicoanálisis

O presente artigo possui o objetivo de, a partir de uma investigação teórica de textos sociais e psicanalíticos, analisar como a adolescência aparece, na modernidade, como um privilegiado produto político da colonização. Associamos à emergência dessa idade da vida, a biopolítica e a necropolítica, sendo a primeira um conceito de Michel Foucault e a segunda, de Achille Mbembe. Igualmente, analisamos como que o significante "adolescência" é interceptado por diferentes significados violentos, os quais deslocam-se inversamente e abaixo da cadeia de significantes, e que aprisionam os adolescentes em sentidos colonizadores, impondo-lhes um processo de destituição subjetiva. Recorremos às contribuições de Glória Anzaldúa e do psicanalista Jacques Lacan, para indicar uma outra identidade adolescente possível a qual prima pela proposição de novos significados e pelo deslocamento metonímico do significante, opondo-se àquela forjada pela colonização. Assim, indicamos como que a Psicanálise pode ser uma opção viável para a subversão da colonização da adolescência, privilegiando o sujeito e o desejo.

This article aims, from a theoretical investigation of social and psychoanalytical texts, to analyze how adolescence appears, in modernity, as a privileged political product of colonization. We associate biopolitics and necropolitics to the emergence of that age of life, the first being a concept by Michel Foucault and the second by Achille Mbembe. Likewise, we analyze how the signifier "adolescence" is intercepted by different violent signifieds, which move inversely and down the chain of signifiers, and which imprison adolescents in colonizing senses, imposing a process of subjective destitution on them. We resorted to the contributions of Glória Anzaldúa and the psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan, to indicate another possible adolescent identity which excels in proposing new signifieds and in the metonymic displacement of the signifier, opposing the identities forged by colonization. Thus, we indicate how Psychoanalysis can be a viable option for the subversion of the colonization of adolescence, privileging the subject and desire.

Recurrimos a los aportes de Glória Anzaldúa y del psicoanalista Jacques Lacan, para señalar otra posible identidad adolescente que sobresale en la propuesta de nuevos significados y en el desplazamiento metonímico del significante, contraponiéndose a las identidades forjadas por la colonización. Así, indicamos cómo el Psicoanálisis puede ser una opción viable para la subversión de la colonización de la adolescencia, privilegiando el sujeto y el deseo.

Reflexões Sobre o Corpo Estranho e a Política de Morte na Terra Indígena Yanomami / Reflections on the Foreign Body and the Politics of Death on the Yanomami Indigenous Land Yanomami / Reflexiones Sobre el Cuerpo Extraño y las Políticas de la Muerte en la Tierra Indígena Yanomami

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar a relação entre os conceitos de necropolítica, proposto por Achille Mbembe, e de unheimlich, desenvolvido por Sigmund Freud. Por meio dessa possibilidade de intersecção, coloca-se em análise a situação enfrentada pelos Yanomami no norte do Brasil, na qual diversos indígenas tiveram suas terras invadidas e seus direitos violados, levando-os a uma grave crise sanitária. A presença de uma lógica de gestão necropolítica, na qual corpos que não interessam ao Estado são deixados à margem, coloca em risco populações que não são incluídas no discurso hegemônico neoliberal. No encontro deste discurso com o estranho, pode-se inferir que é produzida uma experiência unheimlich, um deparar-se com o que há de mais incômodo e ao mesmo tempo familiar à sociedade. Reconhecer-se na diferença que há no outro cria um escape pela via da eliminação, faz-se desse corpo o inimigo e, assim, cria-se o respaldo para tirá-lo de cena. Desse modo, esta investigação destaca a necessidade de repensarmos as vias existentes para lidar com a diferença, isto porque, construir uma sociedade em detrimento de determinados grupos que a compõem é destruir também a si mesma.

This article aims to analyze the relationship between the concepts of necropolitics, proposed by Achille Mbembe, and unheimlich, developed by Sigmund Freud. Through this possibility of intersection, the situation faced by the Yanomami in northern Brazil can be analyzed, in which several indigenous people had their lands invaded and their rights violated, leading them to a serious health crisis. The presence of a necropolitical management logic, in which bodies that are not of interest to the State are left on the sidelines, puts populations that are not included in the hegemonic neoliberal discourse at risk. In the encounter between this discourse and the stranger, it can be inferred that an unheimlich experience is produced, an encounter with what is most uncomfortable and at the same time familiar to society. Recognizing oneself in the difference that exists in the other creates an escape through elimination, this body is made the enemy and, thus, the support is created to remove it from the scene. Furthermore, this investigation highlights the need to rethink existing ways of dealing with difference, because building a society to the detriment of certain groups that compose it is also destroying itself.

A través de esta posibilidad de cruce, es un ejemplo la situación que enfrentan los yanomami en el norte de Brasil, en la que varios indígenas vieron sus tierras invadidas y violados sus derechos, llevándolos a una grave crisis de salud. La presencia de una lógica de gestión necropolítica, en la que se dejan al margen cuerpos que no interesan al Estado, pone en riesgo a poblaciones que no están incluidas en el discurso neoliberal hegemónico. En el encuentro de este discurso con el extraño se puede inferir que se produce una experiencia unheimlich, un encuentro con lo más incómodo ya la vez familiar para la sociedad. Reconocerse en la diferencia que existe en el otro crea una evasión por eliminación, se hace de este cuerpo el enemigo y, así, se crea el soporte para sacarlo de escena. Así, esta investigación destaca la necesidad de repensar las formas existentes de enfrentar la diferencia, porque construir una sociedad en detrimento de ciertos grupos que la componen es también destruirse a sí misma.

O luto materno em situação de violência policial: contribuições psicanalíticas / Maternal grief in situations of police violence: psychoanalytic contributions / Duelo materno en situaciones de violencia policial: aportes psicoanalíticos

A polícia brasileira já foi considerada a mais letal e frequentemente alveja jovens negros marginalizados (Araújo, 2015). As mães desses indivíduos perdem seus filhos precocemente de maneira abrupta e violenta. Para muitas mães a perda de um filho constitui a maior do mundo, o que torna relevante questionar: como a perda de um filho pela violência policial repercute no enlutamento materno? Foram encontrados poucos estudos sobre o tema, apesar de sua prevalência e dos impactos negativos permanentes na vida dessas mães (Gomes, 2019). Por meio de uma revisão bibliográfica não sistemática sobre o tema do luto e das perdas violentas, e com base em depoimentos publicizados de mães que perderam seus filhos pela violência policial, focalizamos como a psicanálise tem um importante papel na escuta dessas mulheres, que podem traçar diferentes caminhos de trabalho psíquico. Como resultado, vimos que a perda de um filho possui caráter traumático e nela se destaca a natureza narcísica da relação mãe-filho, rompida abruptamente pela morte. Este estudo oferece algumas contribuições para o entendimento desse sofrimento e para a escuta dessas mulheres, que, como muitas se autodenominam, são "mães sem nome". (AU)

Brazilian police were once considered the most lethal and often target marginalized young black men (Araújo, 2015). The mothers of these individuals lose their children early in an abrupt and violent manner. To many mothers, the loss of a child is the biggest one in the world, which makes it relevant to ask: How does the loss of a child to police violence affect maternal mourning? Few studies have been found on the topic, despite its prevalence and the permanent negative impacts on the lives of these mothers (Gomes, 2019). Through a non-systematic literature review on the theme of grief and violent loss, and based on publicized testimonials of mothers who have lost their children to police violence, we focused on how psychoanalysis has an important role in listening to these women, who can trace different paths of psychic work. As a result, we concluded that the loss of a child has a traumatic issue, and the narcissistic nature of the mother-child relationship, abruptly broken by death, stands out. This study offers some contributions to the understanding of this suffering and to the listening of these women, who, as many call themselves, "mothers without a name". (AU)

La policía brasileña fue considerada la más letal y frecuentemente ataca a los jóvenes negros marginados (Araújo, 2015). Las madres de estas personas pierden a sus hijos tempranamente de forma abrupta y violenta. Para muchas madres, la pérdida de un hijo es la mayor del mundo, lo que hace pertinente preguntarse: ¿cómo la pérdida de un hijo por la violencia policial afecta al duelo materno? Se encontraron pocos estudios sobre este tema, a pesar de su prevalencia y de los impactos negativos permanentes en la vida de estas madres (Gomes, 2019). Mediante una revisión bibliográfica no sistemática sobre el tema del duelo y de las pérdidas violentas, y a partir de testimonios difundidos de madres que perdieron a sus hijos por la violencia policial, nos centramos en cómo el psicoanálisis tiene un papel importante en la escucha de estas mujeres, que pueden trazar diferentes caminos de trabajo psíquico. Como resultado, vimos que la pérdida de un hijo tiene carácter traumático y destaca la naturaleza narcisista de la relación madre-hijo, rota abruptamente por la muerte. Este estudio ofrece algunas contribuciones a la comprensión de este sufrimiento y a la escucha de estas mujeres que, como muchas se autode-nominan, son "madres sin nombre". (AU)

Racismo e Sexismo: Estruturas de Transmissão, Incidências da História e Insistências do Real / Racism and Sexism: Transmission Structures, History Incidences and Insistences of the Real / Racismo y Sexismo: Estructuras de Transmisión, Incidencias de la Historia e Insistencias de lo Real

Este artigo propõe articulações entre as estruturas coloniais de incidência do racismo e do sexismo no laço social e suas vias de inscrição no inconsciente e no corpo. Partimos de um debate sobre o enquadre colonial da subjetividade e de questões levantadas por Frantz Fanon acerca do modo como o racismo se conecta com a lógica fálica do complexo de Édipo para avaliar sua validade em relação à realidade de povos colonizados. Retomamos formulações freudianas e lacanianas úteis para abordar essa encruzilhada, a partir dos caminhos apontados por Lélia Gonzalez ao discutir as subversões operadas pela mulher negra diante do racismo e do sexismo no contexto brasileiro. Com base em alguns fragmentos clínicos, sustentamos que uma abordagem clínica da perspectiva interseccional antecipada por Lélia Gonzalez demanda uma tomada dialética das relações entre estrutura e história, entre o coletivo e o singular e entre o inconsciente colonizado e o resto que escapa e subverte as relações de dominação.

This article proposes articulations between the colonial structures of incidence of the racism and sexism in the social bond and their ways of inscription in the unconscious and in the body. Starting from a debate about the colonial framework of subjectivity and from questions raised by Frantz Fanon about how the racism connects with the phallic logic of the Oedipus complex to assess its validity in relation to the reality of colonized peoples. We return to useful Freudian and Lacanian formulations to address this crossroads, based on the paths pointed out by Lélia Gonzalez when discussing the subversions operated by black women in the face of racism and sexism in the Brazilian context. Based on some clinical fragments, we argue that a clinical approach to the intersectional perspective anticipated by Lélia Gonzalez demands a dialectical approach to the relations between structure and history, between the collective and the singular, and between the colonized unconscious and the rest that escapes and subverts the relations of domination.
