Importance of multidisciplinary trauma prevention program for youth.

OBJECTIVE: present the experience of the P.A.R.T.Y. program in Campinas, thereby changing the habits of young people. METHODS: The organizers visited the participating schools talking to the students, who are aged between 14-18 years. These students spent an afternoon at the Clinics Hospital of Unicamp, where, for four hours, they attended lectures of the organizers, partners and municipal sectors, and also visited the hospital, talking with trauma victims. Questionnaires were evaluated between 2010-2012, being applied before and after the project. RESULTS: 2,450 high school students attended the program. The mean age is 16 ± 0,99 years and 37.6% were male. 3.6% of males already drive while drunk versus 0.8% of women. Before the project 116 (11.3%) thought that drunk driving wasn't a risk, and only 37 (3.6%) knew the alcohol effects. After the project, 441 (43%) began to consider drunk driving a risk and 193 (18.8%) know the alcohol effects when driving. 956 (93.3%) considered that prevention projects have a huge impact on their formation. CONCLUSION: It's expected that the attendees will act as multipliers of information, conveying the message of prevention to their entire social circles resulting in reduction in the number of trauma events involving the young, in the long term.

OBJETIVO: identificar o perfil dos jovens que participaram do programa P.A.R.T.Y. na cidade de Campinas e apresentar o impacto deste projeto desde a sua implantação em 2010. MÉTODOS: os organizadores realizam visita às escolas participantes, conversando com os alunos, que tem idade entre 14-18 anos. Esses alunos passam a tarde no Hospital de Clínicas da Unicamp, onde, durante quatro horas participam de palestras ministradas pelos organizadores, parceiros e setores municipais, e também visitam o hospital, conversando com vítimas de trauma. Foram avaliadas as visitas no período de 2010 a 2012, sendo um questionário aplicado antes e logo após o projeto. RESULTADOS: participaram do projeto 2450 estudantes do ensino médio. A média de idade foi 16 ± 0,99 anos e 37,6% eram do sexo masculino. Entre os homens, 3,6% do total de participantes já dirigiu alcoolizado e 0,8% no sexo feminino. Antes do projeto 116 (11,3%) acreditavam que dirigir após beber não era um risco e apenas 37 (3,6%) sabiam dos efeitos do álcool. Após, 441 (43%) passaram a considerar um risco e 193 (18,8%) sabiam os efeitos do álcool. CONCLUSÃO: o surgimento de programas de prevenção possibilita a mudança de comportamento na população participante, principalmente realizada por equipe multidisciplinar, que apresenta o assunto estudado sobre diferentes pontos de vista, de acordo com sua área de atuação. .
