ResumenIntroducción: Los adolescentes experimentan cambios físicos y psicosociales que los hacen vulnerables a múltiples comportamientos de riesgo, evidenciando la necesidad de generar políticas de prevención. Objetivo: Identificar los principales comportamientos de riesgo de los adolescentes, su prevalencia, factores predisponentes; así como las guías y escalas validadas que existen para su detección. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica en diferentes bases de datos y páginas oficiales de las principales organizaciones de salud. Se seleccionaron 45 artículos completos en español e inglés, publicados entre los años 2003 y 2017. Resultados: Se agruparon los comportamientos de riesgo en cinco dominios de los cuales se identificó su prevalencia se describieron las guías y escalas validadas existentes para su detección. Conclusiones: Al identificar los comportamientos de riesgo en los adolescentes se disminuye su morbimortalidad si se intervienen de forma precoz. Se recomienda a los profesionales de salud utilizar las mejores herramientas de tamizaje disponibles, que evalúan de manera rápida y simultánea múltiples comportamientos tales como las guías: Education/employment, peer Activities, Drugs, Sexuality and Suicide/depression, Rapid Assessment for Adolescent Preventive Services, Global school-based student health survey, de fácil aplicación en atención primaria y permiten realizar un adecuado abordaje y manejo de esta población. Palabras clave:Adolescente; comportamiento del adolescente; conductas de riesgo para la salud; prevalencia; factores protectores; evaluación de riesgo. (Fuente: DeCS, Bireme). AbstractIntroduction: Adolescents experience physical and psychosocial changes that make them vulnerable to multiple risk behaviors, highlighting the need to generate prevention policies. Objective: To identify main risk behaviors of adolescents and their prevalence, as well as the validated guides and scales for their detection. Materials and methods: A bibliographic search was carried out in different databases and official pages of main health organizations. 45 complete articles published in Spanish and English from 2013 to 2017 were selected. Results: Risk behaviors were grouped into five domains, identifying their prevalence and describing the validated guides and scales that exist for their detection. Conclusions: The identification of risk behaviors and early intervention in adolescents decrease their morbidity and mortality. It is recommended that health professionals use the best available screening tools such as Home/environment, Education/employment, peer Activities, Drugs, Sexuality and Suicide/depression (HEADDS); Rapid Assessment for Adolescent Preventive Services (RAAPS); and Global school-based student health survey (GSHS). These guides quickly and simultaneously assess multiple behaviors, are easily applied in primary care, and facilitate the approach and management of this population.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
