Studies that evaluated health-risk behaviors with boarding students are scarce. There are no studies with representative samples among adolescents residing in educational institutions in Latin America. To better assess the role of resident status on such behaviors, this study aimed to compare health-risk behaviors between boarding and non-resident students assessed by the Brazilian National Adolescent School Health Survey (PeNSE).
A cross-sectional study was conducted using the 2015 PeNSE database. A sample of 101,788 students (aged 11-19 years) from both public and private schools throughout all the Brazilian states completed the survey. A self-administered questionnaire was used to evaluate multiple health-related behaviors (sociodemographic characteristics; sexual behavior; cigarette use; drug use; and alcohol use). Poisson regression model-based analyses were performed and the effects measured through the prevalence ratio (PR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI).
Boarding residents reported more health-risk behaviors than non-residents: previous sexual intercourse (PR 1.17, 1.10-1.25), smoking experience (PR 1.12, 1.03-1.21), monthly smoking frequency (PR 1.68, 1.42-1.99), monthly alcohol intake (PR 2.12, 1.79-2.50), inebriation (PR 1.51, 1.35-1.71), drug use experience (PR 1.23, 1.10-1.38), and monthly drug use frequency (PR 1.59, 1.31-1.94).
Boarding residents reported more health-risk behaviors than did non-residents. The results provide insights into an under-researched subject, helping to highlight potential points of intervention for supporting public health programs within the boarding-school student population.
评估寄宿学生健康风险行为的研究很少。在拉丁美洲居住在教育机构中的青少年中，尚无具有代表性样本的研究。为了更好地评估居住状态对这些行为的作用，本研究旨在比较巴西全国青少年学校健康调查（PeNSE）评估的寄宿学生和非寄宿学生之间的健康风险行为。
使用2015年PeNSE数据库进行了一项横断面研究。来自巴西所有州的公立和私立学校的101788名学生（年龄在11 - 19岁之间）完成了调查。使用自填问卷评估多种与健康相关的行为（社会人口学特征、性行为、吸烟、吸毒和饮酒）。进行了基于泊松回归模型的分析，并通过患病率比（PR）及其95%置信区间（CI）来衡量影响。
寄宿学生报告的健康风险行为比非寄宿学生更多：既往性交（PR 1.17，1.10 - 1.25）；吸烟经历（PR 1.12，1.03 - 1.21）；每月吸烟频率（PR 1.68，1.42 - 1.99）；每月饮酒量（PR 2.12，1.79 - 2.50）；醉酒（PR 1.51，1.35 - 1.71）；吸毒经历（PR 1.23，1.10 - 1.38）；以及每月吸毒频率（PR 1.59，1.31 - 1.94）。
寄宿学生报告的健康风险行为比非寄宿学生更多。研究结果为一个研究不足的主题提供了见解，有助于突出在寄宿学校学生群体中支持公共卫生项目的潜在干预点。
