Abstract The aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of oral health-related shame and the associated factors among 8-to-10-year-old Brazilian schoolchildren. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 388 children randomly selected from public and private schools of Diamantina, southeastern Brazil. In order to identify the feeling of shame, self-reports were collected through a single question, “In the last month, did you feel ashamed because of your teeth or mouth? Two calibrated examiners performed the clinical examination for dental caries (DMFT/dmft index), traumatic dental injuries (O’ Brien), and malocclusion (Dental Aesthetic Index). Sociodemographic indicators were obtained through a questionnaire answered by the children’s caregivers. Descriptive analysis, chi-square test, and hierarchical Poisson regression models were performed (95%CI; p < 0.05). The prevalence of shame was 38.1% (n = 148). The adjusted regression analysis demonstrated a significant association between shame and untreated dental caries (PR: 1.34; 95%CI: 1.04–1.74; p = 0.02), age of 10 years (PR: 1.36; 95%CI: 1.05–1.76; p = 0.01), and with parents with less than eight years of schooling (PR: 1.30; 95%CI: 1.00–1.68; p = 0.04). Older children with untreated dental caries and whose parents had lower education level presented a higher prevalence of oral health-related shame.

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of cigarette use among adolescents and to identify associated health risk behaviors. METHODS This is a cross-sectional study with a representative sample, composed of 1059 adolescents between 13 and 19 years old, enrolled in primary and secondary public schools of Olinda, Pernambuco, in 2014. Information was obtained through self-administered questionnaires (validated version of YRBS 2007). Cigarette experimentation was defined as smoking at least once in life. Adolescents who smoked at least one day within 30 days prior to the survey were considered current smokers. Most students were female and 16 years old or older. RESULTS Almost 30% used it in life and about 10% smoked within the 30 days before the survey. Suicidal ideation (PR = 1.51, 95%CI 1.25–1.82), alcohol use (PR = 1.41, 95%CI 1.03–1.92), marijuana (PR = 1.64, 95%CI 1.37–1.96), excessive alcohol consumption (PR = 1.57, 95%CI 1.15–2.16) and sexual experience (PR = 1.78, 95%CI 1.43–2.21) have increased the risk of using cigarettes. Feelings of sadness (PR = 1.70, 95%CI 1.22–2.36), alcohol use (PR=2.40, 95%CI 1.12–5.12), excessive alcohol consumption (PR = 2.5, 95% CI 1.24–5.38), marijuana (PR = 2.31, 95%CI.57–3.39) and cocaine (PR = 1.99, 95%CI.32–3.01) increased the risk of cigarette use within the 30 days before the survey. CONCLUSIONS Cigarette use among adolescents from Olinda was high, being considered higher than the national prevalence. Possible factors associated with cigarette use were drug use (alcohol, marijuana, and cocaine) and behaviors related to sexual experience, feelings of sadness and suicidal ideation.

Resumo O objetivo do artigo foi verificar associação do capital social de adolescentes com os fatores condições de vida e participação em atividades coletivas. No estudo transversal, aplicou-se questionário validado (SCQ-AS) para medir o capital social de escolares do sétimo ano de escolas públicas e privadas de um município brasileiro. Os pais responderam a um questionário sobre condições de vida e participação dos filhos em atividades coletivas. Após teste qui-quadrado, fez-se regressão logística múltipla com os domínios do capital social, variáveis dependentes e variáveis independentes (p≤0.20). Observou-se maior frequência de coesão social na escola, em adolescentes de escolas privadas (OR= 4.08; IC 95% 1.39 - 11.96) e com renda familiar de 1 a 3 salários mínimos, maior rede de amigos entre os que tinham pais vivendo juntos (OR= 2.21; IC 95% 1.28 - 3.78) e maior frequência de confiança na escola/bairro em escolares de escolas privadas (OR=2.71; IC 95% 1.16 - 6.32). Não houve associação com coesão social no bairro. Estudar em escola privada e ter renda familiar de 1 a 3 salários mínimos podem impulsionar a coesão social na escola, bem como a pratica de atividade esportiva. Os pais viverem juntos pode favorecer maior rede de amigos.

Abstract The article aimed to verify the association of adolescent social capital with living conditions factors and participation in collective activities. In the cross-sectional study, a validated questionnaire (SCQ-AS) was used to measure the social capital of seventh grade students from public and private schools in a Brazilian city. The parents answered a questionnaire on living conditions and children’s participation in collective activities. After chi-square test, multiple logistic regression was performed with social capital’ domains, dependent variables and independent variables (p≤0.20). There was higher frequency of social cohesion at school in adolescents from private schools (OR=4.08, 95% CI 1.39-11.96) and who have a family income of 1 to 3 minimum wages, a larger network of friends among those with parents living together OR = 2.21, 95% CI 1.28 - 3.78) and higher school/neighborhood confidence in private school students (OR=2.71, 95% CI 1.16 - 6.32). There was no association with neighborhood social cohesion. Studying in private school and having a family income of 1 to 3 minimum wages can boost social cohesion in school, as well as practice sports. Parents living together can favor larger network of friends.

Os traumas maxilofaciais decorrentes da violência contra crianças e adolescentes impactam suas vidas, física e psiquicamente, pelas deformidades que podem provocar e pela exposição da lesão na face das vítimas. O objetivo deste trabalho é identificar a prevalência dos traumas maxilofaciais em crianças e adolescentes decorrentes da violência urbana em Belo Horizonte- Brasil. O estudo foi conduzido no Hospital Municipal Odilon Behrens, único hospital municipal de referência nesse tipo de atendimento em Belo Horizonte. Coletaram-se os registros de vítimas atendidas de janeiro a dezembro de 2007. O principal evento de violência sofrido entre crianças e adolescentes foi agressão física, 44,2% e 64,7%, respectivamente. Entre as crianças, o tipo de trauma mais comum foi o trauma dentoalveolar (53,8%), e entre os adolescentes, trauma de tecidos moles (47,5%). O maior número de ocorrências se deu no período noturno: crianças (84,6%) e adolescentes (74,8%). O gênero mais vitimado foi o masculino, crianças (63,5%) e adolescentes (68,3%). Estratégias apropriadas para identificação do evento de violência e do agressor são necessários para que melhor sejam planejados mecanismos de proteção da criança e do adolescente, uma vez que a violência sofrida por crianças e adolescentes no Brasil, considerando a complexidade dessa fase da vida, assume um quadro sombrio, desconstruindo o desenvolvimento, a sociabilidade e comprometendo a visão das vítimas sobre si mesmas e sobre o mundo que as cercam.

The maxillofacial traumas resulting from violence against children and adolescents have physical and psychical impact on their lives, because of the deformities and the injuries on their faces. This study aims to identify the prevalence of maxillofacial traumas in children and adolescents caused by urban violence in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The study was conducted at Hospital Municipal Odilon Behrens, the primary reference hospital in this type of care in Belo Horizonte. We collected records of victims attended between January and December 2007. Among children and adolescents, the most recurring violence event was physical aggression, 44,2% and 64.7% respectively. Among children, the most common type was the dental-alveolar trauma (53.8%), while among adolescents, soft tissues trauma (47.5%). The highest number of occurrences was at night, for both children (84.6%) and adolescents (74.8%). The most victimized gender was masculine, children (63.5%), and adolescents (68.3%). Appropriate strategies to indentify violent events, as well as the aggressor himself, are necessary for planning better protection mechanisms for children and adolescents, since the violence suffered by this group in Brazil, considering the complexity of this stage of life, takes a gloomy picture, deconstructing their development, sociability, and undermining the victims' perspective about themselves and the world around them.
