Depressive symptoms at 13 years as predictors of depression in older adolescents: a prospective 4-year follow-up study in a nonclinical population

  • Authors: Bulhões C, Ramos E, Dias S, Barros H
  • Publication Year: 2019
  • Journal: European Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
  • Link: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29974214

Depression is the most important source of disability in adolescents, partially due to its recurrence. There is a lack of studies on population-based samples investigating the continuity of depressive symptoms during adolescence. This study evaluates depressive symptoms at early adolescence as predictors of depressive symptoms later in adolescence. Urban adolescents born in 1990 and enrolled […]

We examined differences in sexual risk behaviors, HIV prevalence, and demographic characteristics between men who have sex with men (MSM) who visit different types of venues to meet sexual partners, and identified correlates of high-risk behaviors. A cross-sectional behavioral survey was conducted with a venue-based sample of 1011 MSM in Portugal. Overall, 36.3 % of MSM […]

Male-to-female transgender sex workers (TSW) have been identified as a key population at risk for HIV. This study examined risk behaviors and HIV prevalence among TSW, and described health services use. A participatory cross-sectional survey was conducted with 125 TSW recruited in locations and networks where sex workers congregate. HIV-risk behaviors were common among participants. […]

Measuring depressive symptoms during adolescence: what is the role of gender?

  • Authors: Bulhões C, Ramos E, Severo M, Dias S, Barros H
  • Publication Year: 2017
  • Journal: Epidemiology and Psychiatric Sciences
  • Link: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/epidemiology-and-psychiatric-sciences/article/measuring-depressive-symptoms-during-adolescence-what-is-the-role-of-gender/B3F8E8E1A14C74324744599BBCBE363D

The higher prevalence of depressive symptoms among females is well recognised but the reasons for this gender difference are not fully understood. There is growing evidence that current diagnostic criteria and instruments used to assess depression are less sensitive to depression in men, but studies about this issue among adolescents are scarce, especially in Latin […]

BACKGROUND:
Violence is a very sensitive research topic and interview’s setting might influence the participation rate and response accuracy. We aimed to evaluate such effect when assessing the prevalence of different types of violence in a sample of urban elderly by comparing those interviewed at home with those assessed at the research office.
