Full textAbstract:
Adolescence is a stage of life that begins, according to specialists, around the age 13-14 and can extend even until 20 years old. The end of adolescence marks the beginning of maturity and the transition to adulthood. This period is characterised by a series of obstacles, whereby psychological and behavioural imbalances are often identified. For teenagers, showing off, being different and impressing their friend groups are common. As a result, alcohol use is one of the many options adolescents may choose to reach such "performance." Many of them are nonchalant regarding alcohol use and consider drinking a temporary phase with no consequences. Others have deeper knowledge about drinking, but don’t apply them. In this paper, I will highlight some aspects on perception and behaviour in adolescents regarding alcohol use, which were analysed based on an interview applied to teenagers in several high schools in Suceava County. I will also detail the strategies and possibilities of prevention to reduce this phenomenon among adolescents.

Full textAbstract:
The epidemiological information available in Spain and the Community of Madrid highlights two relevant facts regarding alcohol consumption: an increase in binge drinking in teenagers and a reduction/reversal of the gender gap, particularly at young ages. This article aims to describe some of the factors related to alcohol use in teenagers, especially those related to gender and risk perception. A qualitative study was designed with semi-structured interviews and a discussion group with students from the city of Madrid aged 14 to 18 years. A descriptive analysis of the content of the replies of 28 teenagers was conducted. The results show that alcohol consumption has an identity component, both in terms of transition to adulthood and gender role performance. Consumption is also associated with risks, especially those determined by gender inequality, which teenagers learn to manage as a means of survival in nightlife. Preventive campaigns typically lack a gender perspective and a focus on risk prevention. To reduce the prevalence of consumption and associated risks, these strategies need to be reformulated with a gender perspective.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study to analyse whether compulsive buying in teenagers is related to gender and alcohol and cannabis use in a sample of 573 students aged 14–17 from secondary education schools in Burgos (Spain) (M = 15.65; SD = 1.04). Random cluster sampling was performed to select the sample. The Compulsive Buying Questionnaire was used together with two extra promts: ‘Indicate how much alcohol you consume’ and ‘Indicate how much cannabis you take’. Descriptive statistics were used in data analysis, while MANOVA was used to study gender differences in alcohol and cannabis use, compulsive buying and their interaction. The results show higher scores for female compulsive buyers than for men, higher scores for alcohol and cannabis users’ compulsive buying than for non-users, respectively, and higher scores for female users than for male users. A certain interaction was also observed between alcohol and cannabis use. A higher alcohol consumption entailed a higher score in compulsive buying, with cannabis users who did not consume alcohol obtaining the highest scores. Thus, prevention programmes should consider teenagers’ gender and the risk of taking toxic substances.

Full textAbstract:
The Brief Scale of Alcohol Dependence (BEDA) has shown validity and reliability on previous studies. Despite the frequent use in treatment programs for addictions, there are gaps on its psychometric properties and diagnostic efficiency on the teenage population. This study conducted analysis of construct validity of the Brief Scale of Alcohol Dependence and its relation to attitudes towards an accident prevention program for young people in Sonora. 838 high school students (Cecytes) from Hermosillo participated, including students from second, fourth and sixth semesters. 54% are male, while the rest (46%) are female, with an average age of 16 and a SD of 1, with a minimum age of 15 and a maximum of 19. Results show that the scale meets the statistical criteria that proves its validity and supports its use on the teenage population. Results support the hypothesis of the scale having evidence of validity and reliability, which justifies its use in research and in the creation of indicators of alcohol consumption in young people.

Full textAbstract:
Unintentional poisonings in children, teenagers, and young people result in significant mortality and morbidity globally. The aim of the study was to estimate morbidity trends due to unintentional poisonings in children and young people with focus on unintentional poisonings from medicines, alcohol, and illicit drugs in Klaipeda County (Lithuania). The data (over 2003-2015) were obtained from the Health Insurance Fund and the Department of Statistics in Klaipeda. The longitudinal study was performed, and regression analysis was applied for the study. The children aged 0 to 14 and teenagers aged 15 to 19 treated at the hospital because of serious poisonings were examined. The morbidity per 1000 children was calculated. Among patients treated in the Klaipeda County hospitals because of serious poisonings, 48 % were children aged 0 to 19 years. In children aged 0 to 14 years, treated at the hospitals as inpatients, 48% were treated because of the poisonings from medicines, 29% - from alcohol, 1% - from illicit drugs, and 22% - from other substances. In the young people aged 15 to 19 years, the main substance of serious poisonings was alcohol - 52%, on the second place of hospital- treated poisonings were unintentional poisonings from medicines (34%), and poisonings due to illegal drugs were very few (5%). The study showed that the main substances of poisoning for children aged 0 to 14 years were medicines, whereas for ones aged 15 to 19 years were alcohol. The study revealed declining trends of non-fatal poisonings due to medicines in both children and teenagers groups, and male and female subgroups. However, there were no significant changes of poisonings due to alcohol in young people aged 15 to 19 years, and in girls aged 0 to 14 years. Poisonings due to drugs were very rare, and showed no significant change. Parents and children education and information within child safety prevention projects/ programs could influence the decrease in poisonings due to medicines. However, more attention should be put on prevention of alcohol use among children and teenagers, with focus on legislation and enforcement.

Full textAbstract:
In recent decades, in many countries of Europe and the world, there has been a tendency for an earlier onset of alcohol consumption among adolescents, unfortunately, in this aspect, Ukraine is no exception. Aim. To study various aspects of alcohol use by adolescents and the level of awareness of their mothers to determine measures to prevent adolescent alcoholism in Ukraine. Materials and Methods. As part of the longitudinal study "Family and Children of Ukraine", the personal data of 989 adolescents aged 15-18 years (499 boys and 490 girls) and 1075 mothers were analyzed. Bibliosemantic, sociological and medical-statistical research methods are used. Results and Discussion. During 2014-2019, the share of children and adolescents hospitalized with acute poisoning in the intensive care unit of the National Children's Specialized Hospital "OKHMATDIT" of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine increased from 20.6 to 36.7 %. Research has shown that the vast majority of Ukrainian adolescents (75 %) consume alcohol during their lifetime; 31.0 % of adolescents have done so more than 10 times, and their first attempt to drink alcohol occurs at the age of 9 years and younger among both boys and girls. The survey found that 50.6% of adolescents confirmed that they had consumed alcohol in the past 30 days, of which 7.5% of adolescents admitted that they did so more than once a week. The survey allowed to determine the peculiarities of the use of various alcoholic beverages by adolescents in Ukraine: teenagers first "get acquainted" with beer, wine or champagne at the age of 14-15; alcoholic cocktail teenage girls consume for the first time 2 times more often at the age of 15; strong alcoholic beverages are most often consumed for the first time by adolescents aged 15–16 years. It was found that only half of the surveyed mothers (48.4 %) were aware of the fact of alcohol consumption by their adolescent children, while 40.7 % of mothers categorically forbid their children to drink alcohol, 46.5 % of mothers consider it undesirable, 8.7 % mothers do not prohibit alcohol in small quantities. Conclusions. The results of the study prove that the problem of alcohol consumption by children and adolescents in Ukraine remains relevant and requires immediate development of preventive measures for implementation in both school and family environments. Given the insufficient level of awareness of mothers about the fact of alcohol consumption by their children and the insufficient level of understanding of mothers of the dangers of this phenomenon, the need for further research on the prevention of alcohol dependence in adolescence is justified. Key Words: adolescents, alcoholic beverages, mothers of adolescents.

Among a variety of methods to prevent drug use among adolescents, school-community based prevention and intervention programs are prevalent. The impact of such programs will be compromised, however, if drug use among adolescents is impacted by forces apart from the impact of school-community prevention and intervention, such as the function of the family. On the other hand, prevention and intervention programs can have a powerful impact if teenage drug use is responded to through early intervention. The purpose of this study was to review a sample of students referred for drug assessments to determine how early intervention should occur and how involved high school and middle school students are with alcohol and other drugs.

We consider the current issue of teenagers’ attitude to psychoactive substances. A comprehensive study of the value relationship of teenagers to psychoactive substances and the motivation for their use is necessary. The teenagers development crisis leads to a drop in academic performance, a decrease in working capacity, negativism, alienation, ambivalence of feelings and much more, it is noted that the demonstrative “adulthood” of teenagers, their acute experience of the discrepancy between the external and internal worlds often lead them to behavioral transformations aimed at remaking reality for themselves. Based on the types of deviations characterized in psychology, we analyze the causes of chemical addiction. In the course of the study, we identify the main reasons that encourage teenagers to try drugs and consider the age differentiation of the reasons. The main motives of alcohol consumption by teenagers are determined. The results of the study were analyzed by gender of the respondents, and the peculiarities of the attitude to psychoactive substances and persons who use the above substances were noted. We present an expert assessment of the risk of teenagers’ dependence on psychoactive substances, given by schoolteachers, and identify the main causes that affect the risk of developing addiction. We note the necessity of conducting psychological preventive work with this group of respondents and the environment.

Aim:To compare the psychosocial profile and suicidal behavior of 110 pregnant teenagers (PT) with 110 non-pregnant teenagers (NPT).Method:Subjects were matched by age and residential district. A structured interview and psychometric scales were used. Uni-and multivariate logistic regression were performed.Results:Prevalence in the PT and the NPT groups were: attempted suicide (20.0% vs 6.3%); depression (26.3% vs 13.6%); anxiety (43.6% vs 28.0%). Univariate analysis revealed the following significant associations with pregnancy: relocation in the previous 3 years (odds ratio (OR) = 6); years of schooling ≤7 (OR = 3.4); dropping out of school (OR = 5.2); death of a parent during childhood (OR = 2.9); use of alcohol/drugs in the family (OR = 2.5); previous attempted suicide (OR = 3.6); suicide by a relative (OR = 2.1); threats of physical/sexual abuse (OR = 3.5); depression (OR = 2.2); low level of social support (OR = 4.2), psychosocial difficulties (OR = 4.4); prior use of marijuana (OR = 4.8); weekly intake of alcohol over the previous 12 months (OR = 4.2). Multivariate analysis identified the following associations: relocation (OR = 6.4); prior use of tobacco (OR = 2.9); dropping out of school (OR = 2.3); suicide by a social acquaintance (OR = 2.5).Conclusion:The PT case group exhibited a psychosocial profile whose characteristics clearly differentiate this group from the NPT control group. Preventive mental health care is needed to help pregnant teenagers because their behavioral pattern exposes them to high risk for suicide.

Objective: Alcohol affects many human systems and is involved in the pathogenesis of other diseases. Particular attention must be paid to alcohol consumption among young people. It has been shown that 25% of young people’s deaths are attributable to alcohol, and around 35 million people aged over 11 had consumed at least one alcoholic beverage in 2015. Study Design: Young people aged 18–24 were the most vulnerable to binge drinking in Italy, and 50.6% of teenagers drunk alcohol. Only a few studies in the literature have investigated those habits in university students. This study aims to examine alcohol use habits in a population of university students in Italy. Methods: Between 2018 and 2019, an anonymous online questionnaire was randomly sent to university students from 17 different universities in a network of research centres to study alcohol use disorders. The survey included socio-demographic information, questions about alcohol use, knowledge about alcohol consumption, and related risks. Used questionnaires were the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test-Consumption (AUDIT-C) and the Drinking Motive Questionnaire-Revised (DMQ-R). Results: the AUDIT-C revealed that 53.3% of students were high-risk drinkers. Regarding binge drinking habits, 13.1% of students admitted to binge drinking behavior at least once a month. In our sample, male students are more likely to be low-risk drinkers than female peers (p < 0.008). Students from northern Italy are more likely to be high-risk drinkers (p = 0.003). Beer (65.9%) and wine (60.9%) were the most consumed alcoholic beverages. The most common places to drink alcohol were pubs (85.5%). The most likely motivations to drink alcohol were enhancement (40.43%), social (38.39%), coping (15.63%), and social pressure or conformity (5.55%). Only 43.8% of participants reported having attended an educational course on alcohol. Conclusions: University students were not fully aware of the implications of alcohol misuse and will be part of the adult society as critical figures and future leaders. It is imperative to inform students about alcohol consumption risks and investigate the motivations to drink. Stress, anxiety, and social pressure are only a few issues young people are exposed to. Special attention must be paid to young people and their coping strategies that involve substance abuse by using educative, preventive, and motivational approaches.

Full textAbstract:
The current study focuses on factors associated with sexual initiation and condom use among teenagers on Santiago Island, Cape Verde, according to gender. This was a representative, probabilistic sample of 13-to-17-year-olds (n = 768) attending public secondary schools on Santiago Island in 2007. Associations were tested by test of proportion, Pearson's chi-square, or Fisher's exact test and logistic regression. Factors related to sexual initiation among boys were: age over 14 years, Catholic religion, and alcohol consumption. For girls, the factors included: > 9 years of schooling and involvement in an affective-sexual relationship. Unlike other Sub-Saharan countries, this study showed a high prevalence of condom use during initial sexual activity. Adolescents are able to safely begin sexually active life if they have access to information, sex education, and other STD prevention and contraceptive methods. This study provides insights on the development of policies to reduce the vulnerability of the young population to STD/AIDS and the limits and challenges related to the promotion of condom use and sex education, focusing on unequal gender relations.

Full textAbstract:
Background. The problem of substance use among the population of different countries, and also in Ukraine, is one of the most significant among the leading medical and social issues of our time. It is characterized by a number of socio-economic features and related changes in the psychological climate among the population. Particularly seriously, these phenomena destroy still unformed personality of adolescents and young people.
Objective – to develop new approaches to the prevention of addictive conditions of adolescents who use psychoactive substances through early diagnosis and timely medical and social care.
Methods. The research methods were a unified map, a system of AUDIT-like tests to identify the characteristics of the use of psychoactive substances by adolescents, methods for determining personality and character accentuations, anxiety, depression and others.
Results. Among the total number of respondents who use psychoactive substances (1374 people (91,6%)) the largest one was the group of people who used alcohol-containing substances – 92,3%. Mostly these were drinks with low alcohol content (beer, various low-alcohol, tonic drinks, fashionable in the modern youth environment), but were consumed systematically in large doses. Most adolescents when taking various psychoactive substances are mainly in the area of “safe use” (1-7 points) or “dangerous use” (8-15 points), but without harmful effects or states of dependence. However, with the most common types of psychoactive substances (alcoholic beverages, tobacco), some respondents switched to more severe forms of substance use, namely: “with harmful effects” or “dependent conditions”. According to the study, with smoking, the above transition is more intense. Among other psychoactive substances, the level of “harmful effects” is more often observed with the use of psychostimulants – 15,4% and 5,5%; respectively opiates (opioids) – 9,3%; cannabinoids – 5,6%.
Conclusions. The research revealed certain characteristics of psychoactive substances of adolescence, which can be detected using AUDIT tests, which allow to obtain a description of the degree of use of psychoactive substances, assessment of pathopsychological and clinical-psychopathological features of certain prognosis for the future. The predisposing factor for the use of psychoactive substances is neuropsychological instability, accentuation of character (emotional, excitable, steroid, conformity and other types); peculiarity of behavioral reactions of adolescence (protest, grouping, emancipation, etc.) and other features of teenagers.

Full textAbstract:
This article describes a study which investigated sources of alcohol and drug information among Israeli urban adolescents in the north of Israel during the winter of 1993. Data were obtained from a sample of 1,346 students (50.9% males, 49.1% females), who were asked to indicate the amount of information (none, little, much) they had received from ten sources about eight categories of drugs. Among the findings: television is the primary source of information for all drugs, except inhalants, for which newspapers/magazines are the main source. Newspapers/magazines are of secondary importance for the rest of the seven categories of drugs. Teenagers are less likely to receive information from physicians/nurses and relatives than from other sources. Information based on personal experience is prominent concerning alcohol, cigarettes, inhalants and hashish/marijuana, and it prevails more among males than among females ( p < .01). Females use school teachers as a source of information in all drug categories more than males ( p < .01). There are differences in using various information sources among grades and types of places of living. Information based on personal experience with alcohol is notably correlated with that with cigarettes, whereas information based on personal experience with opiates is correlated with that with stimulants, hallucinogens and hashish/marijuana ( p < .001). The mean number of sources of information used by the respondents is the highest concerning alcohol and the lowest concerning depressants. Implications for prevention are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
The Growing up Strong Program has been designed within the framework of positive psychology as an exercise in character education based on the identification, recognition, and use of character strengths among teenagers in secondary school. The study explores the role of mental health (understood as proper psychosocial functioning) in the promotion of adolescent psychological well-being and positive youth development. The aim of this research was to evaluate the resources of the subjects following their participation in the Program. The sample comprised 221 male and female adolescents, aged between 12 and 15. The data were collected using the Scale of Psychological Well-Being for Adolescents and the Factors in Youth Development Scale, both with demonstrated reliability and validity. The results showed, after the Program: good levels of positive youth developmental resources (self-esteem, optimism, self-efficacy and future orientation); evidence of prevention of psychosocial risk behaviors, specifically in relation to raised awareness of substance use, alcohol consumption and smoking, and non-specifically in relation to social-relational risks; good levels of life satisfaction and psychological well-being; positive correlations between positive youth development, psychological well-being, life satisfaction and prevention of psychosocial risks. It can be concluded that the Growing up Strong Program is an instance in character, emotional and well-being education, which generates a healthy network among adolescent users in the educational community.

Full textAbstract:
The AMA Guidelines for Adolescent Preventive Services (GAPS) has been the cornerstone of preventive care for teenagers since its publication in 1994. Despite this, there has been little documentation of their implementation in the family medicine literature. This article gives an overview of a family practice–based adolescent preventive health program based on GAPS recommendations, and reports on compliance, feasibility and health issues. A Community-Oriented Primary Care (COPC) program targeted all adolescent patients aged 12—18 years in two Israeli family practices. 321 teenagers were invited to participate. Every 7th and 10th grader was invited for a preventive health visit with the family physician and nurse. The visits included a medical evaluation, screening and counseling regarding health issues recommended by GAPS, and counseling regarding personal health concerns. Parents were also invited to meet with the staff. 184 (57%) of the adolescents invited for health visits attended. The overall visit time was 47 minutes, including 12 minutes for a questionnaire and 35 minutes with providers. Common biomedical problems included overweight, acne and dysmenorrhea. Health risk behaviors and psychosocial problems included cigarette or alcohol use, dieting, infrequent/never seat belt use, and feeling depressed. 78% wanted to discuss at least one personal health issue. 27% were invited for follow-up visits. Only 3% of the parents came for visits. A community-oriented approach facilitates bringing adolescents for preventive health visits. Many previously undetected health issues, particularly psychosocial and behavioral, are revealed during these visits. A concerns checklist aids in addressing personal health concerns.

Abstract Introduction Research is needed to examine trajectories of tobacco use beyond cigarette smoking, particularly during emerging middle young adulthood, and to identify distinct multilevel influences of use trajectories. Aims and Methods We examined (1) tobacco use trajectories over a 2-year period among 2592 young adult college students in a longitudinal cohort study and (2) predictors of these trajectories using variables from a socioecological framework, including intrapersonal-level factors (eg, sociodemographics, psychosocial factors [eg, adverse childhood experiences, depressive symptoms, and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder symptoms], early-onset substance use), interpersonal factors (eg, social support, parental substance use), and community-level factors (eg, college type, rural vs. urban). Results About 64.5% were female and 65.0% were white. From age 18 to 26, 27%–31% of participants reported past 30-day use of any tobacco product. We identified four trajectory classes: Abstainers/Dabblers who never or infrequently used (89.2%); Adult users who began using frequently around age 20 and continued thereafter (5.9%); College Smokers who began using before 19 but ceased use around 25 (2.5%); and Teenage users who used during their teenage years but ceased use by 22 (1.9%). Multinomial regression showed that, compared to Abstainers/Dabblers, significant predictors (p < .05) of being (1) Adult users included being male, earlier onset marijuana use, attending public universities or technical colleges (vs. private universities), and living in urban areas; (2) College users included being male, earlier onset marijuana use, and parental alcohol or marijuana use; and (3) Teenage users included only earlier onset marijuana use. Conclusion Distinct prevention and intervention efforts may be needed to address the trajectories identified. Implications Among young adult college students, the largest proportion of tobacco users demonstrate the risk of continued and/or progression of tobacco use beyond college. In addition, specific factors, particularly sex, earlier onset marijuana use, parental use of alcohol and marijuana, and contextual factors such as college setting (type of school, rural vs. urban) may influence tobacco use outcomes. As such, prevention and cessation intervention strategies are needed to address multilevel influences.

This research is an attempt to assess the role of parents, schools, and peer groups in substance abuse prevention. Substance misuse is more common in persons, particularly children, who believe they are ignored by others, are excluded from their peer groups, and have no one with whom to discuss their problems. Such children utilise escapism to escape from all of life's worries by immersing themselves in a completely fictional yet lovely world. This world, on the other hand, is a fleeting pleasure that can cost one's life. The direct and indirect effects of alcohol and other drugs on children can result in a variety of negative health and safety consequences for the kid, family, and community. Understanding the dangers and how to avoid them A first step toward alleviating the problem of drug use in the paediatric population is to identify factors that may influence the development of substance dependence. This page analyses the literature on substance abuse prediction, protection, and prevention in children, as well as a list of available preventative programmes for children of various ages. The earlier a youngster begins drinking and using other drugs, the greater the chance of catastrophic health repercussions and adult substance misuse. Accidental and purposeful deaths connected with adolescent drug and alcohol use are one of the main preventable causes of death in the 15- to 24-year-old demographic. Adolescents who use alcohol or other drugs have an increased risk of academic underachievement, delinquency, teenage pregnancy, and depression. Multiple medical consequences have resulted from inadvertent passive drug exposure in infants and toddlers, including respiratory infections, seizures, changed mental status, and death. There are numerous factors that lead to the formation of substance misuse in children. Prevention and intervention programmes that use research-based, comprehensive, culturally relevant social resistance skills training and normative education in an active school-based learning format can address behavioral, emotional, and environmental factors that put children at risk for substance abuse.

Statement of the problem and the purpose of the article. The article presents the results of studying the social, personal and clinical characteristics of juvenile suspects, accused, and convicted persons suffering from alcohol and drug addiction. The characteristic features are analyzed of adolescents in conflict with the law, suffering from alcohol and drug addiction. An average psychological portrait of juvenile suspects, accused, and convicted persons suffering from substance addiction is presented. The necessity to study the problem of the formation of alcohol and drug addiction in penitentiary institutions, factors contributing to the formation of addictive behavior in order to identify adolescents at risk is substantiated. The materials are of interest to prison psychologists, psychologists of educational institutions, and representatives of the system of prevention of child neglect and juvenile delinquency. Materials and methods of research. The methodological and theoretical basis of the undertaken research includes systemic (B.F. Lomov), complex (B.G. Ananyev), activity-based (S.L. Rubinstein) and personality-oriented (K.A. Abulkhanova-Slavskaya, A.G. Asmolov, A.A. Bodalev, A.V. Petrovsky, K. Rogers, A. Maslow) approaches; the concept of formation of child’s personality and self-consciousness (V.S. Mukhina, V.V. Stolin, etc.); the concept on the influence of activity and communication on the ontogenesis of children (L.S. Vygotsky, A.Ya. Varga, A.N. Leontiev, M.I. Lisina, A.S. Spivakovskaya, D.B. Elkonin, etc.). The study used a questionnaire survey to identify socio-demographic (intra-family relationships, social role, education, behavior before conviction), criminological (information from the Minors Affairs Department, type of crimes), medical characteristics and to identify the causes of alcohol and drug addiction in minors. There was also a study of the personality characteristics of juvenile suspects, accused, and convicted according to the following methods: Kettell’s method of multifactorial research of personality (form C), the abbreviated Mini-Cartoon test (SMIL), the Shmishek questionnaire (children’s version). Research results. The prerequisites are determined for early initiation into the use of alcoholic and narcotic substances, as well as criminalization of adolescents in conflict with the law in the territorial bodies of the Siberian Federal District. An average psychological portrait of juvenile suspects, accused, and convicted persons suffering from alcohol and drug addiction is presented. The necessity of studying the problem of the formation of alcohol and drug addiction in penitentiary institutions, factors contributing to the formation of addictive behavior in order to identify adolescents at risk is substantiated. Conclusion. Juvenile suspects, accused, and convicted persons suffering from alcohol and drug addiction have similar features in many ways, which allows us to present their average psychological portrait. Teenagers have a craving for communication, being part of significant groups, but communication is superficial, there may be a lack of a sense of distance in relationships with others. Below average level of verbal intelligence, narrow outlook. They tend to combine accentuations of hyperthymic, emotive types, with signs of cyclothymia. The reaction of emancipation is expressed, the orientation of attitudes towards self-affirmation, the desire for pleasure and the dominance of one’s own interests and desires. Inadequate self-esteem, high level of pretensions. Outbursts of anger and irritation are characteristic, especially when they meet strong opposition and fail. They are not taking their responsibilities seriously enough. Teenagers are characterized by instability of character, mood variability, which is difficult to predict. Juvenile suspects, accused, and convicted persons suffering from drug addiction also have signs of excitable, demonstrative, exalted types (Shmishek), which complements their psychological portrait with such qualities as impulsivity, impetuosity, short temper, quarrelsome in a team, a tendency to rudeness, fantasy, deceit, pretense, indifference to the future, increased impressionability, lability, but at the same time the ability to repress is expressed; the need for recognition, attention, sympathy; egocentrism.

Full textAbstract:
The paper investigates the role of the internal asset (IA), perceived external resources (PER) of resilience, and the school-based universal prevention program known as ‘Unplugged’ in explaining persistent healthy behavior among early adolescence. A sample of 425 adolescents was collected in a repeated measure design study with a baseline (T1) and a six-month follow-up (T2) after the Unplugged implementation. Persistent healthy behavior was assessed by a change in the cumulative index of substance use created by combining alcohol use and cigarette smoking in the past 30 days and their change between T1 and T2. Four categories were created: non-users, permanent users, new users and ex-users. A multinominal logistic regression revealed that non-users were more likely to show higher self-esteem when compared to permanent users. Females had a higher probability of being non-users than either being permanent users or new users. Moreover, Unplugged intervention increased the probability of being a non-user rather than a new user. Regarding PER of resilience, non-users were more likely to have higher home support, prosocial peers, and school connectedness compared to permanent users. Non-users were also more likely to have higher levels of prosocial peers compared to new users. In summary, higher self-esteem, home support, prosocial peers and school connectedness are associated with persistent healthy behavior. To maintain this persistent healthy behavior, the school-based universal prevention program Unplugged has been effective; thus internal assets and external resources of resilience, and prevention program Unplugged, play an important role in the absence of alcohol or cigarette use in early teenage years.

Full textAbstract:
Much research has focused on the relationships between risk factors and adolescent drug use (DU). Less is known regarding the role of protective factors and how they may inoculate youth from initiating or escalating their DU. Using latent-variable modeling and a risk factor method, we examined the cross-sectional role of risk and protective factors in predicting teenage DU for three age groups, separately by gender. Data are from a biannual statewide survey of California students. A Vulnerability latent construct was reflected in three unit-weighted indexes: risk for initiation to DU, risk for problem DU, and protection from DU. A Polydrug Use construct was reflected in eight measures of alcohol and drug use. Structural equation models revealed that for all age/gender groups, Vulnerability was strongly related to Polydrug Use as well as having specific effects on the DU measures. Effects between Vulnerability and DU were more numerous for seventh and eleventh grade than ninth grade students. Ninth grade females had the fewest effects overall. Number of specific effects between protection and DU remained stable with increasing age. Results underscore two important foci for prevention: 1) the importance of considering age-related developmental phenomena in the overall context of DU prevention; and 2) that programs continue to emphasize risk reduction, while simultaneously developing and reinforcing protective agents.

The Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program (TPP) is administered by the Office of Adolescent Health, with a goal of addressing the rising teen pregnancy rates in the United States. One TPP initiative includes the replication of evidence-based program models that seek to prevent teen pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections (Department of Health and Human Services, 2014). FOCUS Butler County, in Southwestern Ohio, is one such women’s health program. In a pilot study, conducted between March and August 2011, 96 female participants between the ages of 16 and 23 were surveyed to capture a “snapshot” of their baseline knowledge and behaviors. Following their completion of the questionnaire, respondents participated in eight hours of evidenced-based, comprehensive sexual education. Four months post-intervention (n=49) and 12 months post-intervention (n=28), participants were re-surveyed to assess knowledge and behaviors. This longitudinal, observational study explored the frequency and means of reported responses. For further analysis, questions were assigned to one of ten categories: 1) demographics/history, 2) knowledge-based, 3) reported behaviors, 4) opinions, 5) perceived opinions of friends, 6) intentions for future practice, 7) perception of risk, 8) attitudes regarding condom use, 9) attitudes related to alcohol use, and 10) perception of comfort related to health seeking behaviors. Significant findings were noted in the category of knowledge-based questions.

Objetivo: Conhecer as características dos estudantes que fazem uso de drogas lícitas e ilícitas, identificando os fatores biopsicossociais relacionados ao uso de drogas entre os estudantes e verificar as possíveis estratégias frente ao uso de drogas em estudantes. Método: O estudo é uma revisão de 15 artigos encontrados em base de dados pré-determinadas utilizando-se dos descritores estudantes e drogas ilícitas cruzados através do marcador booleano AND que foram selecionados através de critérios pré-definidos de inclusão e exclusão. A partir dos dados tabulados foram feitas análise descritiva e qualitativa dos fatores levantados e análise qualitativa dos resultados dos artigos. Resultados: Maiores prevalências de associações são: tabagismo (27%), etilismo (20%), relacionamento parental conflituoso (13%), escolas públicas (13%), não participante de religião (13%). Verifica-se, ainda, a associação com distúrbios psiquiátricos, ambientes urbanos, maior escolaridade materna, ausência ou limitada supervisão parental dos filhos, experiências com episódios de agressão e vida sexual ativa. Conclusão: Diante da diversidade de características encontradas, ações isoladas de prevenção do consumo de drogas e promoção à saúde dificilmente terão o impacto desejado, pois é necessário que haja uma abordagem multifacetada que envolva o ambiente escolar, familiar e social dos adolescentes. A escola surge como campo de ação ideal para a implementação de práticas preventivas desde que com maior comprometimento e participação financeira dos setores público e privado, principalmente em relação ao uso de álcool e tabaco, que se mostraram como os principais fatores de risco para experimentação e uso de drogas ilícitas.Descritores: Adolescente, Comportamento do adolescente, Drogas ilícitas, Transtornos relacionados ao uso de substância, EstudantesAbstractObjective: This study aims to discover the characteristics of students that make use of legal and illegal drugs, identifying biological, psychological and social factors related to the use of drugs among students; and to verify possible strategies to combat drug use among students. Methodology: This study is an integrative review of a total of 15 articles found in pre-determined databases, using the descriptors "students" and "illegal drugs,” cross-referenced through the Boolean operator AND, and selected using predetermined criteria of inclusion and exclusion. From the data gathered, a descriptive and qualitative analysis of the factors was carried out, as well as a qualitative analysis of the results of the articles. Results: The most common associations found were: tobacco use (27%), alcohol use (20%), conflicted parental relationship (13%), public schools (13%), non-religious (13%). Associations with psychiatric disorders, urban environments, the mother's level of education, absence or limited supervision of the parents, experiences with episodes of aggression and active sexual life were also found. Conclusion: Given the diversity of characteristics found, isolated actions for the prevention of the consumption of drugs and promotion of healthy habits will rarely have the desired impact, because it is necessary to have a multifaceted approach, involving school, family and societal environment of teenagers. The school is observed as the ideal field for the implementation of practices of prevention, provided that there is more commitment and financial participation both from the public and private sectors, mainly regarding the use of tobacco and alcohol, that emerged as the main risk factors for the experimentation and use of illegal drugs.Keywords: Adolescent, Adolescent behavior, Street drugs, Substance-related disorders, Students

Presented is a meta-analysis of the outcome results for 143 adolescent drug prevention programs to identify the most effective program modalities for reducing teenage drug use. Glass' et al. (1981) meta-analysis techniques provided a systematic approach for the accumulation, quantification and integration of the numerous research findings. Five major modalities were identified and their effect sizes computed for five distinctly different outcomes: Knowledge, Attitudes, Use, Skills and Behavior measures. The magnitude of the effect size was found dependent on the outcome measure employed and the rigor of the experimental design. These factors were controlled for through use of a standard regression analysis. Peer Programs were found to show a definite superiority for the magnitude of the effect size obtained on all outcome measures. On the ultimate criteria of drug use, Peer Programs were significantly different than the combined results of all the remaining programs (p < .0005). Peer Programs maintained high effect size for alcohol, soft drugs and hard drugs, as well as for cigarette use. Recommendations are made concerning the effectiveness of the underlying theoretical assumption for the different program modalities. Future programming implications are discussed as Peer Programs were identified as effective for the average school-based adolescent population, but the Alternatives programs were shown to be highly successful for the “at risk” adolescents such as drug abusers, juvenile delinquents or students having school problems.

Aim: The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with deaths by hanging among young people in Queensland, Australia. Method: An examination of coroner's reports for all deaths by hanging of people under 25 years of age that occurred in Queensland in the years 1995 and 1996. Results: All cases were recorded as suicides. Most were males and a quarter were indigenous persons. Half the deaths occurred in regional or rural areas. Unemployment, the experience of personal loss, psychiatric illness and alcohol use were possible precipitating agents. Early warning signs were the onset of uncharacteristic behaviours and threats of suicide. Conclusions: The private nature of hanging means that there are rarely opportunities to prevent it in the period immediately before the fatal event. Earlier interventions will have to be considered. To prevent hanging as a means of suicide, we need to understand more about the difficulties experienced by some young men who are living in rural areas. We need more information about the cultural problems experienced by indigenous youths in their teenage years. Young people in the justice system may need personal support. There is a pressing need to determine if young people, especially in rural areas, have adequate access to the professional expertise needed to diagnose and treat mental disorders.

Full textAbstract:
In modern society, self-destructive behavior continues to spread among adolescents. This is manifested in the use of alcohol, tobacco smoking, drug addiction, victimization and extreme behavior. The effective implementation of prevention and correction of self-destruction is an urgent problem for personality psychology, educational psychology, developmental psychology and other industries. The article proposes a new scientific approach to overcoming the self-destructive behavior of adolescents. Self-destructive behavior is one of the compensatory defense mechanisms of adaptation and stabilization of the personality, the ability to adapt to adverse conditions. A teenager with an unformed or critical thinking disorder, acting under the influence of fear, anxiety, hopelessness, shame, guilt, excitement, fatigue or a strong affective state of anger and anger, does not think about the consequences of his actions. The formation and implementation of self-destructive behavior serves as a means for the adolescent to maintain a satisfying “Self-concept” - avoiding feelings, from realizing one’s inadequacy with one’s own idealized ideas, and feeling helpless.

Исследование является результатом совместных действий между Министерствами здравоохранения (далее - МЗ), образования и науки Республики Казахстан (далее - РК), Республиканским научно-практическим центром психического здоровья МЗ РК и Управлением Организации Объединенных Наций по наркотикам и преступности (далее - УНП ООН). Для проведения данного исследования была выбрана установленная методология, основанная на опыте УНП ООН по проведению школьных исследований в различных странах, а также Европейский проект школьного обследования по алкоголю и другим наркотикам (ESPAD), адаптированная к национальному контексту. Целью исследования явились - получение данных о масштабах употребления психоактивных веществ (далее - ПАВ) среди казахстанских подростков; Оценка риска и других коррелятов употребления психоактивных веществ среди подростков; тестирование новой методологии, основанной на методе масштабирования социальных связей, с целью получения дополнительной информации об уровнях употребления психоактивных веществ среди казахстанских подростков. Исследование проводилось в период с декабря 2017 по июнь 2018 года. Размер выборки составил 9111 человек - лиц мужского и женского пола в возрасте 13-18 лет из числа учащихся среднеобразовательных школ и средне-специальных учебных заведений, с географическим охватом всех регионов РК. Выводы: 1. Исследование показало распространенность употребления психоактивных веществ среди молодежи РК примерно в 2-10 раз выше, чем самооценка; 2. Оценка риска и других коррелятов употребления психоактивных веществ среди подростков отличалось от данных при самооценке; 3. Тестирование новой методологии определило мишени для профилактики развития зависимости от ПАВ: депрессивное настроение, высокое антисоциальное поведение и сниженная самооценка. 4. В целом, казахстанские подростки, участвовавшие в опросе, имели аналогичные результаты по этим психометрическим шкалам по сравнению с теми, которые были зарегистрированы среди подростков в Европе, за исключением депрессивного настроения, где их баллы были в среднем вдвое выше, чем у их европейских коллег. Перспективами исследования являются внедрение в практику методологии, основанной на методе масштабирования социальных связей с разработкой мер, направленных на профилактику развития зависимости от психоактивных веществ среди молодежи страны. The study is the result of joint actions between the Ministries of Health, Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Republican Scientific and Practical Center for Mental Health of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). For this study, an established methodology was chosen based on the experience of UNODC in conducting school research in various countries, as well as the European School Survey on Alcohol and Other Drugs (ESPAD) project, adapted to the national context. The aim of the study was - to obtain data on the scale of the use of psychoactive substances among Kazakhstani adolescents; Assessment of risk and other correlates of substance use among adolescents; testing a new methodology based on the method of scaling social connections in order to obtain additional information on the levels of psychoactive substance use among Kazakhstani adolescents. The study was conducted between December 2017 and June 2018. The sample size was 9,111 people - males and females aged 13-18 years from among students of secondary schools and secondary specialized educational institutions, with a geographical coverage of all regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Conclusions: 1. The study showed the prevalence of psychoactive substance use among young people in the Republic of Kazakhstan is about 2-10 times higher than self-esteem; 2. Assessment of risk and other correlates of substance use among adolescents differed from the self-assessment data; 3. Testing of the new methodology based on the method of scaling social connections identified the targets for the prevention of the development of addiction to psychoactive substances: depressed mood, high antisocial behavior and low self-esteem. 4. In general, Kazakh teenagers who participated in the survey had similar results on these psychometric scales compared to those recorded among teenagers in Europe, with the exception of depressed mood, where their scores were on average twice as high as their European colleagues. The prospects of the study are the introduction into practice of a methodology based on the method of scaling social ties with the development of measures aimed at preventing the development of dependence on psychoactive substances among the country's youth.

Aim The paper examines teenage alcohol use from an intergenerational perspective through an ethnographic case study of interaction between teenagers and adults. Methods Two periods of ethnographic fieldwork were conducted in a rural Danish community of approximately 6000 inhabitants. The fieldwork included 50 days of participant observation among 13–16-year-olds (n=93) as well as semi-structured interviews with small self-selected friendship groups. The present paper presents an analysis of field notes from a night of participant observation that is used as an emblematic example of informants' alcohol use and their interaction with adults. Theoretically, the paper adopts French philosopher Michel de Certeau's conceptual framework for understanding the practice of everyday life, in particular his distinction between strategic and tactical action. Results Two scenarios are described and taken to represent two different adult approaches to teenage drinking. In Scenario I, adults accept a group of teenagers' drinking in the home, and in Scenario II adults create an alcohol-free space which they guard against the intrusion of intoxicated teenagers. In both cases, however, adults use their intergenerational position in order to strategically contain teenage drinking. Meanwhile, teenagers act tactically by adjusting their alcohol use in time and space. Further, the use of alcohol marks a shift in the interaction between adults and teenagers in so far as it enables teenagers to create and control a place of their own and hence signal their independence from adults. Conclusion The paper points to the creative, tactical agency of teenagers in response to adult strategies.

The data from world researches of gifted adolescents who are addicted from the virtual environment and their peers is presented in the article. The theoretical foundations of gifted adolescents’ addiction prevention from the virtual environment are presented. Various currents of researchers' views on the adolescents’ giftedness factor and the associated addiction risks on the virtual environment are shown. Conclusions about the urgent need to prevent this phenomenon are drawn. The risk factors for the addiction emergence of gifted adolescents on the virtual environment have been identified. The model of addiction prevention on the virtual environment is described. Teenage age – transitional age which is characterized by all systems of an organism formation. During this period perhaps unstable condition of the teenager’s nervous system strengthened by daily stressor which accumulatingly can generate a stress. All these factors can provoke an Internet-dependent behavior emergence among the presented and not gifted teenagers therefore prospect of further researches is gifted teenagers’ dependence on the virtual environment correction program creation. On the given results basis of the world researches on dependence on the virtual environment, namely Internet dependence, we had a vision of gifted teenagers’ dependence process which we presented in the form of dependence prevention theoretical model which we also use further in practice. According to our model of gifted teenagers’ dependence prevention on the virtual environment, personal labour is the component bringing out of dependence. The steady condition of a teenager’s nervous system is a basis of dependence prevention. The autonomy of the teenager’s identity is an integrated basis of dependence prevention on the virtual environment. Facing considered by us researches’ results about increase in destructive use of the Internet by teenagers, further work on prevention and correction of gifted teenagers’ dependence on the virtual environment seems necessary to us
