“…Related to prenatal attendance, it was found that more than one-third of adolescents attended less than seven prenatal consultations, unlike most adults who attended the appropriate number of appointments recommended by Attention to Women's Health. These findings are consistent with other studies that linked teenage pregnancy with poor prenatal adherence [47,48].…”

Adolescent pregnancy is a worldwide public health problem. The number of this phenomenon is increasing every year. One of the reasons for this worsening is the use of substances. This research aimed to discuss adolescent pregnancy due to chemical health risks by inadequate conduct. The method applied consisted of a cross-sectional,observational design study associated with a survey on knowledge, attitudes, and practices, carried out in 42 pregnant adolescents aged 12-18 years in a large public maternity hospital in Rio de Janeiro. A structured questionnaire was applied at their prenatal visit from November 2017 to October 2018. Descriptive tables were prepared using frequencies in absolute numbers and percentages. 11 pregnant adolescents (26.19%) reported smoking 7 cigarettes per day (SD=4.51), ranging from 5 to 45 cigarettes/day. Concerning alcohol intake, 16 adolescents (38.09%) admitted to drinking at least one occasion during pregnancy, and 8 (19.05%) in abusive form. Regarding other types of drugs (marijuana, cocaine, crack), 12 (28.57%) admitted to having used them during pregnancy, and 3 (7.14%) of these reported injecting drug use. 7 adolescents (16.66%) had a relationship with an injecting drug user partner. The survey results show that the use of illicit drugs by the pregnant adolescents interviewed was 4 times higher than the prevalence recorded in the literature for people aged 12 to 17 years. In the case of cigarette use, this difference was also observed, reaching 20 percentage points.

“…Since its publication, the article introducing the NBI has been cited nearly 20 times, but no research besides the original has used the scale to explore relationships between neoliberal ideology and psychological variables. Katz, Gravelin, and O'Brien () found those scoring higher on the NBI were less sympathetic to an adolescent with an unintended pregnancy, and Medaglia, Yaden, Helion, and Haslam () found no relationship between neoliberal beliefs and attitudes toward transcranial direct current stimulation, a technology presented as a means of self‐improvement. The remainder of the articles citing the original NBI article refers to its discussion of neoliberalism without applying the NBI itself.…”

Who is the Neoliberal? Exploring Neoliberal Beliefs across East and West

Research in political psychology has uncovered "elective affinities" between psychological traits and political ideology. Strong correlations have been found linking psychological variables to political-economic beliefs in Western countries. These results suggest that people's psychological traits influence the development of their ideology, making some ideas, explanations, prescriptions, and ways of understanding the world seem more convincing or satisfying than others. Most such investigations have focused on differences along the liberal-conservative ideological spectrum in the United States, or the left-right divide in Europe and (the rest of) the Americas. Relatively little research has examined psychological elective affinities with neoliberal ideology in particular, and none to our knowledge has been done outside of the West (including Turkey), except for Israel. We report the results of a preliminary investigation into the psychological correlates of neoliberal ideology in Hong Kong, India, and the United States. Our U.S. results replicate earlier research introducing the Neoliberal Beliefs Index, whereas our Hong Kong and Indian results reveal similarities and differences in the psychological traits associated with neoliberal beliefs.From inauspicious beginnings, neoliberalism has become a globally dominant political-economic ideology (Harvey, 2005). Although past research has revealed the structural and ideational factors behind neoliberalism's rise (e.g., Blyth, 2002;Mudge, 2018), until recently little attention has been given to possible psychological contributors. For neoliberal ideology to spread so successfully, it would seemingly need not only a favorable political-economic environment and

“…Additionally, as pointed out by Spotswood et al [12], reframing socio-cultural issues as moral responsibilities and placing the onus of responsibility for behavior change on individuals can magnify social stigma [55]. This individualizing conception of behavior change aligns itself with, and further legitimizes, socially Darwinistic neoliberal policy-making strategies and the symbolic violence associated with them, ignoring the complex issues that underpin human (in)activity and further enhancing social inequality [54,56]. We require more sophisticated accounts of how the social world comes to be, where the basic domain of enquiry "is neither the experience of the individual actor, nor the existence of any societal totality, but social practices ordered across space and time" [57] (p. 2).…”

Beyond TTM and ABC: A Practice Perspective on Physical Activity Promotion for Adolescent Females from Disadvantaged Backgrounds

et al. 2020

This paper builds on a growing body of literature on the promise of practice theory in understanding and promoting behavior change in society and develops upon Blue (2017) and Spotswood et al.’s (2019) rationale for evolving theories of practice into the domain of contemporary physical activity research. We begin by considering the intersectional nature of the problem. Statistics reveal that physical activity gradients exist based on gender, as well as socio-economic position. Women, girls, and disadvantaged populations report lower levels of activity than more affluent males and females. More problematic still is what StreetGames (2017) call the “double jeopardy”, where these characteristics intersect, intensifying the negative gradient. Our argument then comprises three parts. First, we provide a critical discussion of intervention studies seeking to transform exercise behavior amongst these populations. The issue we identify is that studies typically rely on behavior change models, such as the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) and the ABC framework. However, these models tend to take insufficient account of the practical and social aspects of behavior change in physical activity, and thus their subjects often succumb to value-action gaps (Shove, 2010). Second, in contrast, we propose that practice theory provides a promising alternative theoretical lens for promoting behavior change in disadvantaged and often resistant populations. Third, the paper highlights a range of conceptual considerations for exploring the relationship between young, disadvantaged women and physical activity, as well as the development of tangible solutions to improve participation.
