Background

Harmful alcohol use is more prevalent among sexual and gender minorities (SGMs) than their cisgender/heterosexual counterparts. The reasons for this are complex, incorporating alcohol’s normalization and availability in social settings, its importance to identity construction, and drinking to cope with stigma and discrimination. However, commercial determinants have been underexplored, particularly how alcohol is marketed to SGM communities.

ANTECEDENTES: La adolescencia es una de las etapas más importantes de la vida humana. Este período está lleno de diferentes estímulos y tipos de influencia, por parte de los padres, los compañeros y la sociedad. Se relaciona con una mayor susceptibilidad a las conductas problemáticas y a la impulsividad. Por eso es importante explorar el tema de la impulsividad y el comportamiento impulsivo.

MÉTODOS: Este estudio aborda la impulsividad en adolescentes utilizando un método checo de encuesta por cuestionario, la Escala de Impulsividad de Dolejš y Skopal (SIDS). También verifica empíricamente la...

BACKGROUND: As a theoretical base we used Jessor’s concept of the Syndrome of Risk Behaviour in Adolescence, the self-concept, and the concept of body image.

AIM: The main aim of the contribution was research on the relations between the self-schema, specifically the physical proportions represented by BMI, and risk behaviour. The secondary aims were research on the relations between the self-schema, specifically the physical proportions represented by BMI, and sex and age.

METHOD: In the research we used the 46-item modified version of the Risk Behaviour Questionnaire (Čerešník, 2016).

Existe una mayor prevalencia del trastorno por consumo de sustancias (SUD, por sus siglas en inglés) entre los niños involucrados en la justicia (JIC, por sus siglas en inglés). Es fundamental garantizar que los JIC que informan sobre el uso actual sean remitidos para la evaluación del SUD y los servicios de tratamiento que pueden salvar vidas. Investigaciones anteriores sugieren que ciertos grupos minoritarios pueden tener menos probabilidades de haber sido remitidos para someterse a pruebas de detección, y la investigación sobre la interseccionalidad sugiere que estas disparidades...
