Constitui um indicador da iniquidade existente entre gêneros e está inversamente associada ao grau de desenvolvimento humano. Os objetivos deste estudo foram compreender a experiência relativa à morbidade materna grave, a partir de um grupo de mulheres que vivenciou esse problema, bem como caracterizá-las considerando aspectos sociodemográficos e dados relativos ao pré-natal, admissão, pré-parto, parto e puerpério. Foram sujeitos da investigação 16 mulheres (uma gestante e 15 puérperas), atendidas em serviço terciário. Adotaram os preceitos metodológicos da pesquisa qualitativa, para tanto, elegeram-se as Representações Sociais como Referencial Teórico e como referencial metodológico utilizou-se a construção do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo (DSC). A coleta de dados deu-se a partir de entrevista semiestruturada e as questões norteadoras relacionaram-se ao desejo e programação da gestação em curso e sobre a experiência e vivência da gestação de alto risco. Os resultados foram sistematizados em quatro temas e suas respectivas ideias centrais: Tema 1. Descrevendo o desejo e a programação para ter um filho (ICs: Não planejei, mas está sendo uma bênção; Já passei por gravidez de alto risco, por isso não planejei; Minha gravidez foi planejada); Tema 2. Percebendo seu problema de saúde, sua influência na gestação e para o concepto (ICs: Senti que estava correndo risco de vida, mas agora estou bem; Encontrei força na minha igreja; Foi horrível, senti que estava matando a minha filha; Me sinto culpada por tudo o que aconteceu); Tema 3. Superando o choque inicial no pós-parto (ICs: Fiquei Resumo Ana Paula Pinho Carvalheira sem saber notícias sobre o meu filho após o nascimento; Foi sofrido ver meu filho na UTI, a gente sonha em pegar no colo... / Maternal death is a tragic event that affects women during the physiological process of reproduction. It constitutes an indicator of the iniquity existing between genders, and it is inversely associated to the level of human development. The objectives of the present study were to understand the experience related to severe maternal morbidity based on a group of women who experienced such problem as well as to characterize such women by taking into account sociodemographic aspects and data related to prenatal follow-up, hospital admission, prepartum period, parturition and puerperium. The subjects of investigation were 16 women (one pregnant woman and 15 puerperae) attended to by a tertiary service. The methodological precepts of qualitative research were adopted, and for that end, Social Representations were elected as a theoretical framework, and the construction of the Collective Subject Discourse (CSD) was used as a methodological framework. Data were collected by semi-structured interviews, and the guiding questions were related to the desire for and planning of the pregnancy in course and to the experience of a high-risk pregnancy. The results were systematized into four themes and their respective core ideas: Theme 1. Describing the desire and plan to have a child (CIs: I didn’t plan it, but it’s been a blessing; I’ve had high-risk pregnancies, for this reason I wasn’t planning it: My pregnancy was planned); Theme 2. Perceiving one’s health problem, its influence on pregnancy and on the conceptus (CIs: I felt that I was at risk of death, but I´m fine; I found strength in my church; It was horrible, I felt like I was killing my daughter; I feel guilty for everything that happened); Theme 3.

The study is of exploratory and descriptive character in a qualitative approach developed at two public maternity hospitals, both located in Natal-RN, with 65 men whose wives had undergone high-risk pregnancy. The project was submitted to the Ethics on Research Committee of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil (CEP-UFRN), with favorable report no. 81/07. For data collection, the following multimethods were employed: a word free association test; a projective test for registering mental images; and a semistructured interview schedule. The speech contents were analyzed in accordance with the Theory of Social Representations and complemented by the Central Nucleus Theory. The discussion of the results was grounded on literary findings of the companion s participation in pregnancy as well as in risk pregnancy associated with hypertensive syndromes. The data showed fear as representation s central nucleus, while recollections of that feeling referred to death of both companion and child in addition to fear of the unknown. The categories preoccupation and carefulness, other feelings, and clinical picture of the disease represented components of the peripheral nucleus. The results concerning mental images followed the same category criteria of the word free association test fear, other feelings, preoccupation, carefulness, and clinical picture of the disease. After being processed in accordance with the principles of content analysis, the statements originated three thematic unities: fear and insecurity in the presence of the companion s risk pregnancy; attitudes of carefulness to the risk pregnancy of the partner; and humanized assistance during the companion s risk pregnancy. Considering the results, the conclusion is that the partner s risk pregnancy caused by hypertensive syndromes represents, for the man, feelings of fear, preoccupation, insecurity, lack of acceptance and information, as well as attitudes of carefulness. The results reveal necessity of reorganizing the obstetric assistance with an eye to including the man as participant in the reproductive process. That demands extension of humanized carefulness to the companion with a view to make him an active coadjutor in the assistance of high-risk pregnant / A pesquisa teve como objetivo geral Compreender as Representa??es Sociais constru?das pelo homem, diante da gravidez de risco de sua companheira causada por s?ndromes hipertensivas. O estudo ? de natureza explorat?ria e descritiva em uma abordagem qualitativa, desenvolvido em duas maternidades p?blicas, ambas localizadas em Natal-RN, com 65 homens cujas esposas vivenciaram gesta??o de alto risco. O projeto foi aprovado pelo Comit? de ?tica em Pesquisa da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte Brasil (CEP-UFRN), sob o n? 81/07. Para coleta de dados, foram utilizadas as seguintes multit?cnicas: teste de associa??o livre de palavras; teste projetivo destinado a registrar as imagens mentais e um roteiro de entrevista semiestruturado. Os materiais originados das falas foram analisados ? luz da Teoria das Representa??es Sociais e complementada pela Teoria do N?cleo Central. A discuss?o dos resultados teve como base os achados liter?rios acerca da participa??o do homem companheiro na gravidez, bem como da gesta??o de risco com ?nfase nas s?ndromes hipertensivas. Os dados apontaram para o medo como n?cleo central da representa??o, enquanto que as evoca??es relativas a esse sentimento se referiram ? morte da companheira e do filho, como tamb?m medo do desconhecido. As categorias preocupa??o e cuidados, outros sentimentos e sinais e sintomas da doen?a representaram componentes do n?cleo perif?rico. Os resultados relativos ?s imagens mentais obedeceram aos mesmos crit?rios de categorias do Teste de Associa??o Livre de Palavras - medo, outros sentimentos, preocupa??o e cuidados e sinais e sintomas da doen?a. Ap?s serem processados dentro dos preceitos de an?lise de conte?do, os depoimentos originaram tr?s unidades tem?ticas: Medo e inseguran?a frente ? gravidez de risco da companheira; Cuidados prestados pelo homem diante da gravidez de risco da companheira e Assist?ncia humanizada durante a gravidez de risco da companheira. Refletindo sobre os resultados, conclui-se que a gravidez de risco da parceira por s?ndromes hipertensivas representa para o homem sentimentos de medo, preocupa??o, inseguran?a, falta de acolhimento e de informa??o al?m de desempenho de atitudes de cuidados. Os resultados traduzem necessidade de reorganiza??o da assist?ncia obst?trica com vistas a 14 incluir o homem como protagonista do processo reprodutivo.

Trata-se de um estudo observacional, descritivo e retrospectivo, de abordagem quantitativa, realizado a partir do estudo de coorte não concorrente. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida no Hospital Sofia Feldman situado na cidade de Belo Horizonte/MG. Foram utilizados no estudo os prontuários de gestantes do pré-natal de alto risco, que tiveram atendimento prestado pela enfermeira obstetra por no mínimo três consultas, no período de 1º de janeiro de 2014 a 31 de dezembro de 2015, com o desfecho da gestação no cenário da pesquisa. Após aprovação do comitê de ética em pesquisa, os dados foram obtidos por meio de um instrumento elaborado para análise dos prontuários, contendo as variáveis a serem estudadas. Este foi adaptado em uma planilha Microsoft Excel. As variáveis quantitativas foram descritas como mediana, 1º quartil (1ºQ) e 3º quartil (3ºQ), valor mínimo e valor máximo; já as variáveis qualitativas, pela frequência absoluta (n) e frequência relativa (%). Para testar a relação entre as variáveis qualitativas, utilizou-se o teste do Qui-Quadrado (X2), sendo calculada a razão de chances (OR) com intervalo de confiança de 95% (IC95%). O tamanho do efeito foi avaliado pelo V de Cramer, utilizando a classificação proposta por Cohen. Os resultados evidenciaram que as gestantes tinham idade média de 32 anos, a maioria se declarou parda, solteira e com ensino médio completo ou incompleto. Iniciaram o pré-natal em média com 16 semanas e três dias de gestação; 62,2% realizaram mais de sete consultas de pré-natal; a mediana foi de oito consultas, sendo a metade realizada pela enfermeira obstetra e a outra metade pelo médico. Os principais motivos de encaminhamento ao Pnar foram a hipertensão arterial (31%) e diabetes (19%). Foram observadas intercorrências em 25% das gestantes que resultaram em internação hospitalar, as mais frequentes foram pré-eclâmpsia (20,4%) e o descontrole glicêmico (14,8%). As intercorrências no puerpério ocorreram em 30 puérperas (14,2%), sendo a hemorragia responsável por 36,6% dos casos. O tipo de parto mais frequente foi o parto normal (54,6%), na posição semissentada em 59% dos casos, com a presença do acompanhante em 97,2% dos partos. Houve 3,5% de episiotomia e 60% de lacerações de 1º grau. Metade dos partos foram realizados exclusivamente pelo médico obstetra e observou-se associação significante entre o tipo de via de parto e o profissional que assistiu ao parto (X2 = 174,102; gL = 2; p<0,0001), em 100% dos casos em que a assistência ao parto é compartilhada entre a enfermeira obstetra e o médico obstetra, a via de parto é o normal. A média da idade gestacional no momento do parto foi de 39 semanas e três dias, a prematuridade aconteceu em 10% dos nascidos vivos, 20% apresentaram baixo peso e 3% Apgar<7 no 5º minuto. Dos recém-nascidos, 82,3% foram colocados pele a pele com a mãe e 64,7% iniciaram o aleitamento materno na sala de parto. Observou-se que a gravidez gemelar, a realização de menos de sete consultas de pré-natal e as intercorrências durante a gravidez aumentam a chance de prematuridade, com efeito de moderada magnitude. Não houve mortalidade materna nesta pesquisa; a taxa de mortalidade neonatal foi de nove por mil nascidos vivos e as mortes fetais 13/1.000 nascidos vivos. Conclui-se sobre a eficácia da cobertura pré-natal de gestantes com maior risco reprodutivo quando o início do acompanhamento ocorreu no primeiro trimestre gestacional. O número médio de consultas pré-natais foi de oito e a metade delas foi atendida pela enfermeira obstetra. Houve 54,6% de partos normais e correlação entre a via de parto e o profissional que o assistiu. A presente pesquisa traz subsídio para a formulação de políticas de saúde, para tomada de decisão por gestores e reflexões sobre a atuação da enfermeira obstetra/obstetriz no Pnar e na assistência ao parto no Brasil. / This research aimed to evaluate the maternal and perinatal results of a high-risk antenatal care (ANC) with the participation of the obstetrical nurse as a member of the multidisciplinary team. It is an observational, descriptive and retrospective study, with a quantitative approach, based on a non-concurrent cohort study. The research was developed at the Hospital Sofia Feldman located in the city of Belo Horizonte / MG. The medical records of high-risk prenatal pregnant women were used in the study, which were attended by the obstetrical nurse for at least 03 consultations, in the period from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2015, with the outcome of gestation in the research scenario. After the approval of the Research Ethics Committee, the data were obtained by means of an instrument prepared to analyze the medical records containing the variables to be studied, which was adapted in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. Quantitative variables were described as the median, the 1st quartile (Q1) and the 3rd quartile (Q3), the minimum value and the maximum value; And the qualitative variables, by the absolute frequency (n) and the relative frequency (%). To test the relationship between the qualitative variables, the chi-square test (X2) was used, and the odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was calculated. The size of the effect was evaluated by Cramer's V, when the scale Cohen is using. The results showed that the pregnant women had a mean age of 32 years old, most of them declared themselves to be pardo, single and with complete or incomplete secondary education. They started the High-risk ANC on average at 16 weeks and three days of gestation, 62.2% were submitted to more than seven prenatal visits, the median was eight visits, the first half performed by the obstetrical nurse and the other half by the doctor. The main reasons for the referral to the High-risk ANC were hypertension (31%) and diabetes (19%). Intercurrences were observed in 25% of the pregnant women that resulted in hospital admission; the most frequent being preeclampsia (20.4%) and glycemic control (14.8%). The intercurrences in the puerperium occurred in 30 puerperae (14.2%), with hemorrhage accounting for 36.6% of the cases. The most frequent type of delivery was normal delivery (54.6%), in the semi-sitting position in 59% of the cases, and the presence of an accompanying person was guaranteed in 97.2% of the deliveries. There was 3.5% of episiotomy and 60% of 1st degree tears. 50% of the deliveries were performed exclusively by the obstetrician and a significant association between the type of delivery and the professional who performed the delivery (X2 = 174,102; gl = 2; p <0,0001), in 100% of the cases in which the delivery care is shared with the obstetrician the birth route is the normal delivery. The mean gestational age at delivery was 39 weeks and three days; prematurity occurred in 10% of live births, 20% presented low birth weight and 3% Apgar <7 at the 5th minute. 82.3% of the newborns were placed skin to skin with their mother and 64.7% started breastfeeding in the delivery room. It has been observed that for the twin pregnancies, less than seven prenatal consultations and intercurrences during pregnancy increase the chance of prematurity with a moderate magnitude effect. There was no maternal mortality in this study. The neonatal mortality rate was 9 per thousand live births and the fetal deaths 13/1000 live births. It was possible to conclude on the efficacy of prenatal coverage of pregnant women with higher reproductive risk when the onset of follow-up occurred in the first trimester of pregnancy. The average number of prenatal visits was eight and the obstetrician nurse attended half of them. There were 54.6% of normal deliveries and a correlation between the delivery route and the attending professional. The present research provides support for the formulation of health policies, for decision making by managers and reflections on the work of the obstetrician / obstetrician nurse in the Pnar and the delivery assistance in Brazil.

A gestação é um período marcado por diversas transformações na vida da mulher e envolve aspectos sociais, biológicos, conjugais e psicológicos. No entanto, a maneira como cada gestante reage varia de acordo com as circunstâncias em que ocorreu a gravidez. Todos esses fatores são agravados na gestação de risco. O suporte social tem sido considerado como importante fator de proteção às adversidades desse período. Avaliar e considerar aspectos sociais e psicológicos se destaca como uma forma de contribuir para a melhoria da qualidade de vida da gestante. O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar uma caracterização psicossocial de 66 gestantes de alto risco, diabéticas em acompanhamento pré-natal, quanto aos aspectos sociodemográficos e psicológicos e buscar possíveis associações estatísticas entre tais aspectos. Quanto aos aspectos psicológicos, foram avaliados níveis de ansiedade, depressão, estresse e suporte social referido. Como resultados, pode-se constatar que 57,57% das pacientes avaliadas tinham idade entre 26 e 35 anos, 60,60% tinham de nove a onze anos de estudo e 92,42% tinham um companheiro. Dentre as pacientes, 4,55% tinham diabetes mellitus tipo 1, 33,33% tinham diabetes mellitus tipo 2 e 62,12% tinham diabetes mellitus gestacional. As pacientes avaliaram sua gravidez como planejada em 51,51% da amostra. Com relação a aspectos psicológicos, 36,36% das pacientes apresentaram sintomas significativos de ansiedade e depressão e a média da pontuação para o estresse foi de 24,24, em uma escala de até 56 pontos. Na amostra, 48,48% das pacientes referiram ter atividades de lazer em sua rotina e 93,94% apresentam uma boa percepção do apoio familiar. Foram encontradas associações entre número de gestações e depressão, sendo que dentre as pacientes que apresentaram sintomas depressivos, 50% delas estavam na segunda gestação. Não foram encontradas associações estatísticas entre idade, nível socioeconômico, escolaridade, planejamento da gravidez com sintomas de ansiedade e depressão. Pacientes que apresentaram maiores níveis de ansiedade e depressão apresentaram mais sintomas de estresse e menores níveis de suporte social. Ampliar o conhecimento sobre variáveis psicológicas no ciclo gravídico-puerperal possibilitará a estruturação de intervenções psicológicas específicas a este período tão particular. / Pregnancy is a period marked by several changes in women\'s lives and involves social, biological, psychological and marital aspects. However, the way each woman reacts varies according to the circumstances in which the pregnancy occurred. All these factors are worsen in high-risk pregnancies. Social support has been considered an important protective factor for the adversities of that period. Evaluating and considering social and psychological aspects stand out as a way to contribute to the improvement of the pregnant womans quality of life. The aim of this study was to make a psychosocial characterization of 66 high-risk diabetic pregnant women, in prenatal care, in terms of socio-demographic and psychological aspects, and search for possible statistical associations between these aspects. Concerning psychological aspects, levels of anxiety, depression, stress and related social support were evaluated. In the results, it can be seen that 57.57% of the patients evaluated were aged between 26 and 35 years, 60.60% had between nine to eleven years of study and 92.42% had a partner. Among the patients, 4.55% had diabetes mellitus type 1, 33.33% had diabetes mellitus type 2 and 62.12% had gestational diabetes mellitus. The patients rated their pregnancy as planned in 51.51% of the sample. Regarding psychological aspects, 36.36% of the patients had significant symptoms of anxiety and depression and the average score for stress was 24.24 out of a 56 points scale. In the sample, 48.48% of the patients reported having leisure activities routine and 93.94% have a good perception of family support. It was found associations between number of pregnancies and depression, whereas among patients with depressive symptoms, 50% were in their second pregnancy. There were no statistical associations between age, socioeconomic status, education and pregnancy planning with symptoms of anxiety and depression. Patients who had higher levels of anxiety and depression showed more symptoms of stress and lower levels of social support. Increasing the knowledge of psychological variables in pregnancy and childbirth will enable the structuring of specific psychological interventions to such a particular period.

Magister Artium (Sport, Recreation and Exercise Science) - MA(SRES) / This study aims to compare the sexual behaviour patterns of male elite student athletes, male student recreational sports (RSP) and male student non-athletes at the University of Botswana in relation to high-risk sexual behaviours. High-risk behaviors in the domain of sexual behaviour were investigated in relation to the determinants of risk behaviour such as multiple partnerships, condom use, and history of sexually transmitted infections, the partners past sex life, current sexual life, casual sexual partners and age of first exual experience. The purpose was to establish which group of the male students is more at risk of HIV infection due to its engagement in high-risk sexual behaviour. Data was collected by means of an anonymous self-report questionnaire. Participants included 235 male students (94 non-athletes, 92 athletes and 50 elite athletes) at the University of Botswana. Selfreport questionnaires were administered, which included items from the 2005 Youth Risk Surveillance System (YRBSS), Student Life Style questionnaire, as well as items from a questionnaire assessing knowledge and practice of safe sex amongst Rhodes University students (Simpson, 1996). / South Africa

The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationships between stress and outcomes including organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), job satisfaction, and burnout in high-risk occupations. Moreover, how personality, emotions, coping, and leadership influence this relationship is investigated. Data were collected from 379 officers in 9 police organizations located in the Southern and Southwest United States. The primary research question addressed within this dissertation is: What is the relationship between stress and behavioral and affective outcomes in high-risk occupations as governed by coping, leadership, and crisis? The majority of the hypothesized relationships were supported, and inconsistencies center on methodological and theoretical factors. Findings indicate that occupational stressors negatively influence individuals in high-risk occupations. Moreover, crisis events exacerbate these influences. The use of adaptive coping strategies is most effective under conditions of low stress, but less so under highly stressful circumstances. Similarly, transformational leader behaviors most effectively influence how individuals in high-risk occupations are affected by lower, but not higher levels of stress. Profiles of personality characteristics and levels of emotional dissonance also influence the chosen coping strategies of those working in high-risk occupations. Prescriptively, it is important to understand the influences among the variables assessed in this study, because negative outcomes in high-risk occupations are potentially more harmful to workers and more costly to organizations. Thus, this dissertation answers the research question, but much work in this area remains to be done.

A anemia falciforme é a doença hereditária mais comum no Brasil e constitui um problema de saúde pública. Alguns trabalhos buscaram destacar a relevância do enfoque epidemiológico da anemia falciforme entre as mulheres e suas repercussões na saúde reprodutiva dessa população. Mulheres portadoras de anemia falciforme apresentam maior risco de abortamento e complicações durante o parto, fatos que geram repercussões emocionais na gestante. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi conhecer significados das vivências da gravidez relatados por mulheres portadoras de anemia falciforme. Utilizamos o método clínico-qualitativo, tendo sido a amostra fechada por saturação das informações, composta por nove pacientes acompanhadas no Ambulatório de Alto Risco e na enfermaria de patologias obstétricas do Centro de Atenção Integral à Saúde da Mulher (CAISM). Suas idades variaram de 19 a 35 anos de idade, com períodos gestacionais entre 16 e 30 semanas. Foram realizadas entrevistas semidirigidas com questões abertas, gravadas, transcritas e submetidas à análise qualitativa de conteúdo. Os resultados foram categorizados em tópicos, dos quais elegemos dois para discussão neste trabalho: (1) o significado da maternidade parece permitir que o desejo de ser mãe se manifeste mais forte do que sentimentos comuns de medo relacionados à doença e os seus agravamentos; (2) a presença da doença no cotidiano dessas mulheres, as várias complicações e internações foram percebidas de maneira ambivalente, como um ¿mal necessário¿. Como esperado, o apoio de familiares e de profissionais da saúde foram cruciais para que a gestação dessas mulheres fosse enfrentada de forma mais tranqüila. O estudo sugere que apesar da vivência de angústias existenciais e psicológicas que envolvem normalmente a gravidez, das limitações da doença para o desempenho de funções profissionais e sociais e do conhecimento das possibilidades de complicações clínicas para a mãe e/ou para o bebê, estes sentimentos não interferiram na manifestação do desejo do exercício da maternidade / Abstract: The political proposals concerning the health of the black population have a recent history in the Brazilian political scenery with a special focus on the Sickle Cell Anemia National Program. The sickle cell anemia is the most common hereditary disease in Brazil and it is a public health problem. Some works have tried to emphasize the epidemiological aspect of the sickle cell anemia among women and its repercussions for the reproductive health of that population. Women with sickle cell anemia have higher miscarriage risks, besides higher risks of complications during childbirth. These risks have an emotional impact on pregnant women. The objective of this research was to have a better understanding of the experience of pregnant women with sickle cell anemia. We used the clinical-qualitative method; the sample included nine patients who had their follow-up done at the ¿Clinic of High Risk and in the Infirmary of Obstetric Pathologies at the Center of Integral Attention to the Woman's Health¿ (CAISM). Their ages ranged from 19 to 35, and the gestational age ranged from the 16th to the 30th weeks. Data were collected through semidirected interviews with open-ended questions; they were recorded, transcribed and underwent qualitative content analysis. The results were classified in topics, of which we chose two for discussion in this work: (1) the importance of maternity seems to make the desire of being a mother stronger than the fears related to the disease and its aggravations; (2) the presence of the disease in the daily lives of these women, the several complications and hospitalizations were faced with mixed feelings, as a "necessary evil". As expected, the support of relatives and health professionals was crucial for these women to withstand their pregnancy with more tranquility. The study suggests that in spite of the feelings of existential and psychological anguishes that usually involve these kind of pregnancy, and in spite of the professional and social limitations caused by the disease and in spite of the awareness of the possibilities of clinical complications for the mother and/or for the baby, there was still a strong desire of being a mother / Mestrado / Ciencias Biomedicas / Mestre em Tocoginecologia

Some early puberty girls engage in high-risk externalizing behaviors such as early sexual activity, delinquent behavior, and disruptive behaviors. Harsh parenting experienced by girls who develop early has been associated with delinquent and disruptive behaviors. The purpose of this quantitative correlational study was to examine predictive relationships between the style of parental discipline by mothers of early puberty girls and the likelihood and frequency of the girls' engagement in high-risk behaviors. Parenting style theory, including the authoritarian, authoritative, and permissive style of parenting, served as the theoretical foundation for the study. Survey data were collected from 28 mothers who identified as having a daughter who experienced early puberty. The Parenting Scale subscales were used to measure the dysfunctional parenting behaviors of laxness, overreactivity, and verbosity. Logistic regression analysis revealed no statistically significant relationships between the early puberty girl's involvement in risky behaviors and dysfunctional parenting. Results may be used by human service and public health officials to increase awareness of early puberty and to promote public health policies to address the individual, social, and economic implications of early puberty in girls.
