“…These results are consistent with previous studies 17,19,25 and may be because boys are more physically active than girls, and tend to get involved more easily in competitive activities such as physical fights and games. 26,27 We observed many common risk factors for violence and non-fatal injury, including the smoking of cigarettes, alcohol use, mental health problems, and living with neither parent, with violence also being a risk factor for injury. These findings are consistent with research from many other countries.…”

Background: School violence and injury are major public health problems worldwide; however, current information on these issues in Vietnam is lacking. We aim to investigate the prevalence of violence and non-fatal injury and associated factors among Vietnamese adolescents aged 13-17 years old. Methods: We used data from the 2019 Vietnam Global School-based Student Health Survey (GSHS), which is a nationally representative survey developed by the World Health Organization to monitor behavioral risk factors among school-aged students. The Vietnam GSHS 2019 was conducted in 20 provinces and cities, with a sample size of 7,690 male and female students aged 13-17 years old. Results: We found the prevalence of violence and non-fatal injury was 14.5% and 21.4%, respectively. Common risk factors for both violence and non-fatal injuries included cigarette smoking, alcohol use, mental health problems, and living with neither parent; violence was also a risk factor for non-fatal injuries. Student older age was associated with lower odds of school violence. Parents played an important role in preventing violence among female students and non-fatal injuries in both genders. Conclusions: Future policies should consider individual factors as well as adolescent-parent bonding, to mitigate the burden of violence and injury among in-school adolescents in Vietnam

“…Previous studies have indicated the precaution we should take to reduce death, and there are different interventions for each type of NTUIs. [28,37] In this study, we found the target groups that need our attention. Despite the declining trend of the mortality rate and the decreasing degree of absolute inequality in the past 30 years, relative inequality between countries had almost no improvement.…”

Background: Non-transport unintentional injuries (NTUIs) are major public concerns, especially among children and adolescents in low-and middle-income countries. With environmental and cognitive changes, a recent systematic description of global trends and regional differences concerning NTUIs is urgently needed for the global agenda of relevant policy-making and intervention target findings. Methods: We used mortality, population, and socio-demographic-index (SDI) data from Global Burden of Disease 2019 to analyze the trends of NTUIs mortality. We applied the slope index of inequality (SII) and relative index of inequality (RII) to measure the absolute and relative inequality between countries and territories. The concentration curve and concentration index (CI) were also used to measure the inequality. We conducted a sensitivity analysis to make our findings credible. Results: In 2019, there were 205,000 deaths due to NTUIs among children and adolescents aged 5 to 24 years, which decreased from 375,000 in 1990. In 2019, the age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) was 8.13 per 100,000, ranging from the lowest in the Netherlands (0.90 per 100,000) to the highest in the Solomon Islands (29.34 per 100,000). The low-middle SDI group had the highest ASMR of NTUIs, while the low SDI group had the slowest decrease. After excluding the death caused by "exposure to forces of nature" and "other unintentional injuries", drowning accounted for the most deaths in almost every SDI group, gender, and age group, but the major causes of death varied in different subgroups. For example, animal contact was a major cause in low and low-middle SDI groups but less in high SDI groups, while high and high-middle SDI groups had a higher proportion of deaths for foreign body and poisonings. The SII showed a declining trend, but the RII and CI did not, which might indicate that inequality was persistent. Similar results were found in the sensitivity analysis. Conclusions: Despite the declining trend of the mortality rate and the narrowing gap between countries, there were still a large number of children and adolescents dying from NTUIs, and those experiencing social-economic disadvantages remained at high mortality. Embedding the prevention of NTUIs into sustainable development goals might contribute to the progress of reducing death and inequalities, which ensures that no one is left behind.

“…The educational practices for this event should be based on an approach that not only demands more attention from adult caregivers when children are at risk of accidents, but also discusses the socioenvironmental determinants and the vulnerability of the families (28) . Considering Paulo Freire's presuppositions, they should include the "3 Es" -Education, Engineering, and Enforcement, to which Economy and Environment can be added (29) .…”

“…Educational interventions should be constructed in society (family, school, health units, churches) in a participative and co-responsible manner, with multisectoral and universal interventions. The communities and the participation of the community must be the goal, involving environmental changes, as well as the implantation of public policies and legislation (27,29) .…”

Dialogic educational practices in the context of child intoxication: an approach based on Paulo Freire

et al. 2021

Objective: To analyze the knowledge and practices of education of Family Health Strategy professionals regarding child intoxication for the autonomy and empowering of the families. Methods: Qualitative research, carried out through semistructured interviews with 50 professionals from the Family Health Strategy of a city in the Northwest of Paraná. Data was problematized using Paulo Freire’s sociocultural approach and its concepts of dialogism and autonomy. Results: The statements showed the many ways in which the care for child intoxication is perceived and their relations with educational action, but these were traditional educational practices, with elements focused on the dissemination of information about health-disease, probably because the dialogic approach is still abstract and has no interface with the concrete practices. Final considerations: The education knowledge and practices of the professionals for the autonomy and empowering of families suggested that there is a transition stage between the biomedical model, focused on a cure, and the dialogical one.
