The relationship between mental health and poverty has been well documented in adults. However, few studies have addressed how low socioeconomic status and psychosocial vulnerabilities may influence depressive symptoms in adolescents. The current study was carried out in a non-randomly selected sample of 239 adolescents whose parents work as ragpickers (waste collectors for recycling) in Brazil. In-person interviews were conducted, and the presence of depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation were assessed using the Childrens Depression Inventory (CDI). We observed that 23% (CI±5.34) of the adolescents presented with depressive symptoms and 35% (CI±6.05) had suicidal ideation. Fatigue or loss of energy (p = .012) and irritable mood (p = .013) were significantly higher among boys than girls according to DSM-IV criteria. However, we found no gender differences in DSM-IV criteria for Major Depressive Disorders (MDD) or Dysthymic Disorder (DD) in diminished interest or pleasure, weight loss or weight gain, decreased appetite, sleep problems, feelings of worthlessness, diminished concentration or ability to think, recurrent thoughts of death, suicidal ideation, or low self-esteem. There were no significant gender differences in total CDI score, however a greater percentage of girls presented with depressed mood than boys (29.9% vs. 17.1%, p < .05) (AU)

Introducción. El propósito principal del estudio fue examinar la prevalencia de los síntomas emocionales y comportamentales así como las capacidades de tipo prosocial, medidos con el Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, en adolescentes no clínicos. Método. La muestra final estuvo compuesta por un total de 508 participantes españoles, 208 hombres (40,9%). La edad de los participantes osciló entre 11 y 18 años (M = 13,91 años; DT = 1,71). Resultados. Un importante número de adolescentes informaron de sintomatología afectiva y comportamental. Las puntuaciones medias de las subescalas del Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire variaron de forma estadísticamente significativa en función del género y la edad de los adolescentes. Conclusiones. La prevalencia de dificultades de tipo psicológico entre adolescentes fue similar a la informada en estudios previos, tanto en el panorama nacional como internacional. A la vista de los resultados, existe una necesidad de desarrollar programas de detección temprana de este tipo de síntomas emocionales y comportamentales en los centros escolares y/o asistenciales en población infanto-juvenil (AU)
Introduction. The main purpose of this study was to examine the prevalence of symptoms of an emotional and behavioral nature, as well as prosocial type capabilities, measured using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, in non-clinical adolescents. Method. The final sample was composed of a total of 508 students, 208 male (40.9%). The age of participants ranged from 11 to 18 years (M = 13.91 years; SD = 1.71). Results. The results show that a significant number of adolescents self-reported emotional and behavioral problems. The mean scores of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire subscales varied according the gender and age of the adolescents. Conclusions. In the present study, the prevalence of psychological difficulties among adolescents was similar to that reported in other national and international studies. In view of these results, there is a need to develop programs for the early detection of these types of problems in schools in children and adolescents ages (AU)

Despite the significant contributions from previous studies about the prevalence of problematic Internet use (PIU) among adolescents in Europe, important questions remain regarding adverse consequences of PIU. This study aims to assess the relation between duration of Internet use and adverse psychosocial effects among adolescents from six European countries. The final sample included 7,351 adolescents (50.8% male and 49.2% female; mean age: 14.6±1.90) recruited from randomly selected schools within the six study sites. Results showed that 12.9% of adolescents used Internet more than 20 hours per week. There was a significant relationship between duration of Internet use and frequency of alcohol, tobacco, cannabis and other illegal drug use. Duration of Internet use is also significantly associated with school problems, with use of slot machines and with other psychosocial problems. These findings highlight the need to strengthen preventive efforts for reducing PIU and related consequences among adolescents
A pesar de las importantes contribuciones de los estudios realizados sobre la prevalencia del uso problemático de Internet (PIU) entre los adolescentes europeos, sigue existiendo dudas importantes con respecto a las consecuencias adversas del PIU. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la relación entre la duración del uso de Internet y los efectos psicosociales adversos en adolescentes de seis países europeos. La muestra final estuvo compuesta por 7.351 adolescentes (50,8 % varones y 49,2 % mujeres, edad media: 14,6 años ± 1,90) reclutados en escuelas seleccionadas al azar dentro de los seis países del estudio. Los resultados mostraron que el 12,9% de los adolescentes utilizaba Internet más de 20 horas a la semana. Se encontró una relación estadísticamente significativa entre la duración del uso de Internet y la frecuencia de uso de alcohol, tabaco, cannabis y otras drogas ilegales. La duración del uso de Internet también se asoció significativamente con problemas escolares, con el uso de las máquinas tragaperras y con otros problemas psicosociales. Estos resultados ponen de relieve la necesidad de fortalecer los esfuerzos en prevención para reducir el uso problemático de Internet y las consecuencias relacionadas entre los adolescentes

Uno de los debates que actualmente está cobrando mayor relevancia social son las cada vez más frecuentes situaciones de violencia y absentismo escolar en los adolescentes de nuestra sociedad. Esta situación empeora el trabajo docente, y se observa un aumento de relaciones conflictivas entre el profesorado y el alumnado. El rendimiento académico de estos jóvenes se resiente hasta el punto del abandono escolar. Identificar el mayor número posible de variables implicadas en el fracaso académico y social de los adolescentes, así como sus causas, debe ser un objetivo prioritario en la investigación actual, con el fin de poder optimizar las condiciones educativas de los alumnos, e implementar programas de prevención e intervención con todos los actores implicados en el proceso de aprendizaje. Durante los últimos años, numerosas investigaciones han incluido entre sus objetivos el estudio de las habilidades lingüísticas y conductuales. El presente trabajo pretende ofrecer una visión general e integrada sobre la situación actual en el estudio de la relación entre estas dos variables, y su papel en el fracaso académico y social de los adolescentes, así como abrir futuras líneas de investigación dentro del campo educativo (AU)
One of the issues that is currently gaining wide social importance is the increase in violence and truancy among Spanish adolescents. This situation greatly hampers the work of teachers, increasing conflicts between staff and students. The academic performance of these youngsters is weakened to the point of dropout. Identifying the maximum number of variables involved in academic failure and the social development of adolescents, as well as their causes, should be a current research priority. Such research would help to optimize educational conditions by implementing prevention programs and intervention strategies with all the actors involved in the learning process. In the last few years, numerous investigations have analyzed language and behavioral skills. The present study aims to provide a comprehensive and integrated view about the current state of the relationship between these two variables and their role in academic failure and social development in adolescents, as well as to indicate future research lines in the field of education (AU)

En este trabajo se presenta una investigación que pretende explorar las relaciones entre el consumo de drogas no institucionalizadas en una muestra de preadolescentes, y una serie de variables hipotéticamente vinculadas: autoconcepto, comunicación familiar, consumo de otras drogas -institucionalizadas o no- y variables socioestructurales -edad, hábitat, número de hermanos y fracaso escolar. Se trabaja con una muestra de 564 alumnos de enseñanza básica, de ambos sexos, y de edades comprendidas entre 11 y 15 años. Se realizaron análisis de varianza para conocer las relaciones entre el consumo de inhalables y de cánnabis y las variables anteriormente citadas. Posteriormente, con aquellas variables en que se detectaron diferencias significativas se llevaron a cabo análisis discriminantes para conocer qué variables ofrecían un mayor poder de predicción del consumo. Estas variables resultaron ser el consumo de drogas institucionalizadas y el autoconcepto familiar del muchacho. (AU)
