The aim of this study was to identify prevalence and factors associated with violent behavior among adolescents in Aracaju and Metropolitan region. The study included 2207 adolescents (16.03±1.08 years old) enrolled in high schools of the State Public Network. Violent behavior was identified from question 14 of the YRBS-2007 questionnaire with responses categorized as "never" and "one or more times." Higher prevalence in males in relation to risk factors for adoption of violent behavior was found: cigarette consumption (7.3%), alcohol consumption (39.1%), and marijuana use (3.4%). Data analysis used descriptive statistics and logistic regression with hierarchical model at two levels: (a) sociodemographic variables and (b) behavioral variables. For both sexes, association between violent behavior and cigarette smoking (OR=3.77, CI 95%=2.06-6.92 and OR=1.99, CI 95%=1.04 to 3.81, male and female, resp.) and alcohol consumption (OR=3.38, CI 95%=2.22 to 5.16 and OR=1.83, CI 95%=1.28 to 2.63, male and female, resp.) was verified. It was concluded that violent behavior is associated with the consumption of alcoholic beverages and cigarettes among adolescents.
本研究的目的是确定阿拉卡茹及大都市地区青少年暴力行为的患病率及其相关因素。该研究纳入了2207名就读于州立公共网络高中的青少年（年龄16.03±1.08岁）。通过青少年风险行为监测系统（YRBS）-2007问卷的第14个问题确定暴力行为，其回答分为“从不”和“一次或多次”。研究发现，在暴力行为的危险因素方面，男性的患病率更高：吸烟（7.3%）、饮酒（39.1%）和吸食大麻（3.4%）。数据分析采用描述性统计和两级分层模型的逻辑回归：（a）社会人口统计学变量和（b）行为变量。对于男性和女性，均证实了暴力行为与吸烟（男性和女性的比值比分别为OR=3.77，95%置信区间为2.06 - 6.92和OR=1.99，95%置信区间为1.04至3.81）以及饮酒（男性和女性的比值比分别为OR=3.38，95%置信区间为2.22至5.16和OR=1.83，95%置信区间为1.28至2.63）之间存在关联。研究得出结论，青少年的暴力行为与酒精饮料和香烟的消费有关。
