Objective: To study depression and anxiety in pregnant adolescents.Methods: This research is a cross-sectional study in which the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used to evaluate the level of anxiety and depression among patients. The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), which aims to measure the presence and severity of depression among patients, was also applied. For purposes of analysis, the participants were divided into two groups: precocious adolescents (12 to 15 years of age) and late adolescents (16 to 19 years of age). The difference between the means observed between the groups was analyzed using Student's t test. A value of p < 0.05 was considered significant. Results:The mean BDI score among the 26 precocious adolescents was 24.0, whereas among the 61 late adolescents, the same score presented a mean of 15.7 (p=0.005). In relation to depression, according to the HADS, the precocious pregnant adolescents obtained an average of 8.8 (possible depression), whereas the late pregnant adolescents presented an average of 6.9 (unlikely depression) (p=0.005). Conclusion:Depression was more intense among precocious adolescents than among late adolescents. There was no significant difference in the intensity of anxiety, assessed by the HADS, between precocious and late adolescents.

IntroductionAccident rate have a high social cost. Cocaine consumption increases the risk of traffic crashes (Monras, 2011; Fierro, 2011). However, there is not extensively studies in addicts.ObjectiveCompare and analyze the history of accidents and risk behaviors while driving in cocaine dependent patients (DC) and of other substances (OtherD).MethodsOne hundred and eighty-two patients seeking treatment since January 2014 to September 2015. Sociodemographic and accident-related variables were collected, also administered the MDBQ. Descriptive analysis and bivariate analysis using Chi-square test for categorical variables and Student t test was performed for quantitative.ResultsOf women, 30.3%, and 69.7% men, mean age 43.67 years (SD = 13). 65.6% currently driving or above. 45.2% DC vs. 54.8 DOther (35.6% alcohol, cannabis 8.3%, 5.8% opioid and 5.1% other drugs).Comparing accident rate on the DC is a tendency to have suffered more accidents (χ2: 2.62 P=.072). Patients addicted to cocaine referred further potentially dangerous activities both under the influence of consumption (65.9% vs. 33.3%) and abstinence (41.7% vs. 12%).As for the results of MDBQ, it has been detected that cocaine addicts show more errors and traffic violations. No differences in the lapses identified by patients of different groups.ConclusionPatients with cocaine dependence have more accidents, reduced risk perception and recognize more mistakes and traffic violations. Cocaine implies a high risk of road accidents and exposure to high-risk situations compared to the use of other substances.References not available.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.
