No. of bitstreams: 1 Roberto Garcia.pdf: 4809301 bytes, checksum: d4e473a0adf83548a31acfe46f828f61 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016-07-08 / This study aimed to identify and understand factors involved in conducts of circumstantial omission and refusal of condom use with casual and/or stable partners by MSM living with HIV+; and as a specific objective, to understand the behavior of intentional and deliberate refusal of condom use among MSM with HIV+. In this research of mixed methods, comparing reports between quantitative and qualitative components, 178 participants were selected for the quantitative stage (total sample = T), who filled out a sociodemographic form with condom usage habits, as well as two scales – Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11) and Sexual Compulsivity Scale (SCS). From this universe, 81 participants were selected for the qualitative stage (Subsample = S-2), also answering to three fictional-projective stories and rating a 2014 National Campaign Poster on HIV. For the qualitative analysis we used the Discourse of the Collective Subject; and for the quantitative analysis we opted for the combination of Natural Language Processing and triangulation with qualitative results. Among the main findings we highlight that, in the quantitative stage, from the 73 subjects (41%) (T) that had declared the use of condom in all their sexual relations, only 14 (17.3%) (S-2) effectively admitted its use in the qualitative stage, indicating divergence between the two groups. Similarly, this contradiction was repeated as to the use of psychoactive substances – characterized in this study as the main triggering factor of condom use omission –, since only 28% (T) initially admitted having used them, in contrast to the total of 56% (S- 2) in the qualitative stage. Another difference that would mean a "clear proof" of failure and refusal of condom use occurred in their assertion of having contracted STIs after the HIV diagnosis, identified in 35.5% (T) and 52% (S-2), respectively. Another finding was the intentional and deliberate refusal of condom use associated with signs of compulsive sexual behavior and risk in pleasure, including the barebackers and those practiced in cruising areas. Given the significant divergences between the initial reports of the participants and what was later identified in the two stages of this research, we conclude that clinical guidelines and public policies should be cautious in research interpretation, with proper checkings associated with further investigations. The clinical features observed in this study, including the evidence of impulsive and compulsive sexual behaviors, may constitute determining benchmarks to be taking into account in future actions associated to the use of condoms by MSM with HIV+ / Cette étude a eu pour but principal d‟identifier et de comprendre les facteurs impliqués dans le comportement de l'omission circonstancielle et le refus de l'utilisation du préservatif avec des partenaires occasionnels et / ou stables des HSH VIH+; et comme objectif spécifique, comprendre le comportement de refus intentionnel et délibéré de l'utilisation du préservatif chez les HSH VIH+. Dans cette recherche utilisant des méthodes mixtes, qui a comparé les récits recueillis chez les composantes quantitatives et qualitatives, 178 participants ont été sélectionnés pour l‟étape quantitative (échantillon total = T), ceux-là ont rempli un formulaire socio-démographique portant également sur leurs habitudes d'utilisation du préservatif, et deux échelles - la Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11) et l'Échelle de la Compulsion Sexuelle (ECS). Dans cet univers, 81 participants ont été alors choisis (sous-échantillon = S-2) pour l'étape qualitative, lesquels ont également répondu à trois histoires fictives-projectives et évalué une affiche de la Campagne nationale contre le VIH de 2014. Comme méthode d'analyse qualitative, nous avons utilisé le Discours du sujet collectif; et pour l'analyse quantitative, nous avons choisi la combinaison du Traitement de la langue naturelle et la triangulation avec des résultats qualitatifs. Parmi les principaux résultats, nous soulignons que, au cours de l‟étape quantitative, sur les 73 sujets (41%) (T) qui avaient déclaré initialement avoir utilisé des préservatifs lors de toutes les relations sexuelles, au cours de l‟étape qualitative seulement 14 (17,3%) (S-2) ont admis l‟utiliser effectivement, ce qui montre des divergences entre les deux groupes. Cette contradiction s‟est répétée en ce qui concerne l'utilisation de substances psychoactives - caractérisée dans cette étude comme le principal facteur déclencheur de l'omission de l‟utilisation du préservatif -, car seulement 28% (T) ont initialement admis les utiliser, en contraste avec le total de 56% (S- 2) lors de l‟étape qualitative. Une autre divergence, qui représenterait une «preuve définitive» de l'omission et du refus de l'utilisation du préservatif, a eu lieu lorsqu‟ils ont déclaré avoir contracté les MST après le diagnostic du VIH, identifiée dans 35,5% (T) et dans 52% (S-2) respectivement. Une autre constatation est le refus intentionnel et délibéré de l'utilisation du préservatif associé à des indices de comportement sexuel compulsif et le plaisir du risque, parmi lesquels ceux des barebackers et ceux pratiqués dans les cruising areas. Compte tenu des divergences importantes existant entre les récits initiaux des participants et ce qui a été identifié plus tard au cours des deux étapes de cette recherche, nous avons conclu que les orientations cliniques et celles des politiques publiques doivent être plus prudentes en ce qui concerne l'interprétation des enquêtes, en effectuant les vérifications nécessaires associées à une investigation plus approfondie. Les caractéristiques cliniques observées dans cette étude, parmi lesquelles les indices de comportement sexuel impulsif et compulsif, peuvent constituer des référentiels déterminants à prendre en considération lors des actions futures concernant l'utilisation des préservatifs chez les HSH VIH+ / Este estudo teve como objetivo principal identificar e compreender fatores envolvidos nos comportamentos de omissão circunstancial e recusa do uso do preservativo com parcerias eventuais e/ou estáveis de HSH HIV+; e, como objetivo específico, compreender o comportamento de recusa intencional e deliberada do uso do preservativo entre HSH HIV+. Nesta pesquisa de métodos mistos, que comparou os relatos entre os componentes quantitativos e qualitativos, foram selecionados 178 participantes para a etapa quantitativa (amostra total = T), que preencheram um formulário sociodemográfico e de hábitos do uso do preservativo, e duas escalas – a Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11) e a Escala de Compulsividade Sexual (ECS). Desse universo, foram então selecionados 81 participantes (Subamostra = S-2) para a etapa qualitativa, que também responderam a três histórias fictício-projetivas e avaliaram um cartaz de Campanha Nacional do HIV de 2014. Como método de análise qualitativa, utilizamos o Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo; e para a análise quantitativa optamos pela combinação de Processamento de Língua Natural e triangulação com resultados qualitativos. Dentre os principais resultados encontrados destacamos que, na etapa quantitativa, dos 73 sujeitos (41%) (T) que declararam inicialmente ter usado preservativos durante todas as relações sexuais, na etapa qualitativa apenas 14 (17,3%) (S-2) admitiram efetivamente usá-lo, demonstrando divergências entre os dois grupos. Essa contradição se repetiu no uso de substâncias psicoativas – caracterizado neste estudo como o principal fator desencadeador da omissão do uso do preservativo –, pois somente 28% (T) inicialmente admitiram usá-las, em contraste com o total de 56% (S-2) na etapa qualitativa. Outra divergência, que representaria a “prova cabal” de omissão e recusa do uso do preservativo, ocorreu na declaração de terem contraído DSTs após o diagnóstico do HIV, identificada em 35,5% (T) e em 52% (S-2), respectivamente. Outra constatação foi a recusa intencional e deliberada do uso do preservativo associada a indícios de comportamento sexual compulsivo e prazer no risco, entre eles o dos barebackers, e aqueles praticados nas cruising areas. Considerando as significativas divergências entre os relatos iniciais dos participantes e o que foi identificado posteriormente nas duas etapas desta pesquisa, conclui-se que orientações clínicas e de políticas públicas devem ser cautelosas na interpretação de pesquisas, com as devidas checagens associadas a uma investigação mais aprofundada. As características clínicas observadas neste estudo, entre elas os indícios de comportamentos sexuais impulsivos e compulsivos, podem se constituir em referenciais determinantes a serem considerados em futuras ações quanto ao uso do preservativo em HSH HIV+

Sexual risk behaviors pose a major public health problem. However, sufficient research has not been done on the relationship between health risk behaviors and emotional intelligence. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between emotional intelligence, and sexual, smoking, and alcohol behavior among young adults. As well as explore the relationship between health risk behaviors. Emotional intelligence and sexual, alcohol, and smoking behavior of undergraduate college students from the greater Los Angeles area was assessed through an anonymous online questionnaire (n=80). There was no significant difference found in emotional intelligence between college students engaging in risk behaviors and college students not engaging in risk behaviors, for all risk behaviors assessed. However, there was a strong correlation found between college students engagement in different risk behaviors. These results indicate there is no significant relationship between emotional intelligence and health risk behaviors. Research about this relationship can be useful in designing interventions that reduce negative health outcome associated with health risk behaviors.

In 2015, Mississippi had the 3rd highest adolescent birth rate in the United States, high rates of sexually transmitted diseases, and enduring racial disparities between African American and White teenagers. Few researchers have described the immediate cultural environment to determine how it may influence the sexual behaviors and attitudes of African American teens. The purpose of this qualitative ethnographic study was to describe the sociocultural environment of African American adolescents in Mississippi that influences their sexual behavior by exploring the knowledge, feelings, experiences and beliefs of African American adults. The social cognitive theory was used as a theoretical framework to address 3 purpose-driven research questions. Criterion-based convenience and snowball sampling was used to select 16 African American male and female participants ages 18-64 who were residents of the study location for at least 10 years. Data were collected using a semi-structured interview protocol designed. Interview transcripts were coded, data was triangulated, and themes were identified based upon participant responses. Findings were identified across 3 thematic categories: knowledge, beliefs and experiences, and community engagement. Participants wanted adolescents to postpone sexual activity until they were more mature and believed adolescents and their parents need education and improved communication about risks and prevention. Recommendations include deeper exploration into public health and community engagement strategies to improve health outcomes in the face of unique community challenges. Social change may also result from this study's initiation of community conversations around adolescent sexuality and healthy development.

The experience of sexuality during adolescence is considered a normative aspect of adolescence marked by the influence of biological, familial and cultural aspects that will be the pattern of sexual identity and sexual behavior of adolescents. However, many adolescents do not have adequate knowledge and skills to implement safe sexual behavior may lead them to engage in sexual behaviors that create risk to their health. These behaviors are considered risky, and can lead adolescents to have an unwanted pregnancy or getting a sexually transmitted disease. National and international studies identified factors that may influence the development of these behaviors in sexual initiation and management of contraception. The age and education can act as protective factors related to delay of first sexual intercourse. Gender have a strong influence, especially in the management of contraception along with parental support. These factors can influence the choice of contraceptive method used in subsequent sex initiation. Observed few national studies with a focus on relationships between parental support and sexual risk behaviors in adolescents. To address the proposed objectives, this dissertation presents itself divided into two articles. In the first study, a systematic review of literature on sexual risk behavior from national studies were conducted. In the second study, we investigate possible relationships between parental support and sexual risk behaviors and other factors that could be exerting influence these behaviors, in adolescents in public schools. Participated in this study 508 students from elementary and secondary education in public schools in a city in the central region of Rio Grande do Sul. We used to collect data the Brazilian Questionare Phase II which investigating risk and protective factors in adolescents. The adolescents have their first sexual intercourse at about fourteen years old, with a steady partner. During the management of contraception it was found a decrease in the consistent use of condoms during sexual intercourse, particularly by girls who start using the pill as a contraceptive method. These data call attention to the fact that adolescents are preventing themselves from pregnancy and not STDs. / A vivência da sexualidade durante a adolescência é considerada um aspecto normativo da adolescência marcado pela influência de aspectos biológicos, familiares e culturais que vão constituir a identidade sexual e o padrão de comportamento sexual do adolescente. Entretanto muitos adolescentes podem não possuir conhecimentos adequados e habilidades para a implementação de um comportamento sexual seguro podendo levá-los a engajar-se em comportamentos sexuais que gerem risco à sua saúde. Esses comportamentos, considerados de risco, podem levar o adolescente a ter uma gravidez indesejada ou a adquirir uma doença sexualmente transmissível. Estudos nacionais e internacionais têm procurado identificar fatores que podem influenciar desenvolvimento desses comportamentos na iniciação sexual e na gestão da contracepção. A idade, a escolaridade e a religião podem atuar como fatores protetivos relacionados ao adiamento da primeira relação sexual. Aspectos relacionados ao gênero podem exercer forte influência, principalmente na gestão da contracepção nos relacionamentos sexuais posteriores a iniciação sexual, juntamente com o apoio parental. Observa-se poucos estudos nacionais com o foco nas relações entre o apoio parental e os comportamentos sexuais de risco em adolescentes. Para contemplar os objetivos propostos, a presente dissertação apresenta-se dividida em dois artigos. No primeiro estudo, foi realizada uma revisão sistemática de literatura sobre comportamento sexual de risco a partir de estudos nacionais. No segundo estudo, procurou-se investigar em adolescentes de escolas públicas, possíveis relações entre o apoio parental e comportamentos sexual de risco e outros fatores que pudesse estar exercendo influencia nesses comportamentos. Participaram dessa pesquisa 508 estudantes do ensino fundamental e médio de escolas públicas de um município da região centro do Rio Grande do Sul. Para a coleta dos dados utilizou-se o Questionário Juventude Brasileira Versão Fase II que investiga fatores de risco e proteção em adolescentes. Os adolescentes têm sua primeira relação sexual por volta dos quatorze anos de idade, com parceiros fixos. Durante a gestão da contracepção constatou-se uma diminuição do uso do preservativo nas relações sexuais, principalmente pelas meninas que passam a utilizar a pílula anticoncepcional como método contraceptivo. Esses dados alertam para o fato de que os adolescentes estão prevenindo-se de uma gravidez e não das doenças sexualmente transmissíveis.

This study examined differences in sexual risk behaviors by gender and over time among 1281 patients (777 males and 504 females) from 12 community-based substance use disorder treatment programs throughout the United States participating in CTN-0032, a randomized control trial conducted within the National Drug Abuse Treatment Clinical Trials Network. Zero-inflated negative binomial and negative binomial models were used in the statistical analysis. Results indicated significant reductions in most types of sexual risk behaviors among substance users regardless of the intervention arms. There were also significant gender differences in sexual risk behaviors. Men (compared with women) reported more condomless sex acts with their non-primary partners (IRR = 1.80, 95 % CI 1.21–2.69) and condomless anal sex acts (IRR = 1.74, 95 % CI 1.11–2.72), but fewer condomless sex partners (IRR = 0.87, 95 % CI 0.77–0.99), condomless vaginal sex acts (IRR = 0.83, 95 % CI 0.69–1.00), and condomless sex acts within 2 h of using drugs or alcohol (IRR = 0.70, 95 % CI 0.53–0.90). Gender-specific intervention approaches are called for in substance use disorder treatment.

Sexualiteten är en naturlig del av livet som varje individ utforskar och lär sig att förhålla sig till. Det sexuella utforskandet kan även innebära en risk både för den fysiska och/eller psykiska hälsan. Riskerna kan till exempel vara sökande efter bekräftelse, närhet eller status, men kan även vara att visa upp sig, dela utmanande bilder eller utbytande av sexuella tjänster mot ersättning. Sexualiteten kan även bli ett verktyg för att dominera, förtrycka eller kränka andra människor. Socialiseringsprocessen, alltså det sociala samspel som sker mellan barnet och deras familj beskrivs som grunden för hur barnet själv utvecklar sina egenskaper samt hur hen i sin tur integrerar med sin omgivning. I studien undersöks kommunikationen mellan föräldrar och barnet upplevs och huruvida det finns samband med att barnet utsätter sig själv eller andra för sexuella riskbeteenden. Studien uppmärksammar även på skillnaderna mellan könen i hur kommunikationen upplevs och vad som korrelerar med sexuellt riskbeteende. Studien är en kvantitativ analys där urvalet består av ungdomar som går i årskurs 9 (N=1357). Data är insamlad av det pågående longitudinella programmet LoRDIA (Longitudinal Research on Development In Adolescence). Studiens resultat indikerar att det finns statistiska signifikanta samband mellan ungdomar som pratar med sina föräldrar och inte uppvisar sexuella riskbeteenden. Resultaten visade även att tjejer uppvisade högre frekvens av sexuella riskbeteende.  Det föreligger även en signifikant skillnad mellan hur tjejer och killar upplever kommunikationen till vårdnadshavare och att tjejer har en högre tendens av att påverkas av vårdnadshavarnas regler och överkontroll till skillnad från killar. / Sexuality is a natural part of life which every individual explores and must learn how relate to. The sexual exploration may also cause a risk both to physical but also to the mental health. The risks may, for example, be unfavourable searching for confirmation, proximity or status, but may also be to share intimate images or exchange sexual favours for economical compensations. Sexuality can become a tool to dominate, oppress and/or offend other people. The socialization process, that is, the social interaction that takes place between the child and their family is described as the base for how the child develops his/her own characteristic and how they integrate with their surroundings. This study examines at how communication between parents and child looks and is experienced, whether there is any connection with how the child exposes themselves and/or others to sexual risk behaviours and if there is any difference between the sexes. The study is a quantitative analysis in which the sample consists of young people who are in 9th grade (N=1357). The data is collected by the ongoing longitudinal program LoRDIA (Longitudinal Research on Development In Adolescence). This study indicates that there is a statistically significant relationship between youths who communicate with their parents and shows less sexual risk behaviours. The results also demonstrate that girls show a higher frequency of sexual risk behaviour. There is also a significant difference between how girls and boys experience the communication to custodians and that girls have a higher tendency to be affected by the custodians' rules and control than what boys do. / LoRDIA

In order to verify the occurrence of sexual risk behaviors among adolescent students in the city of Abaetetuba, we performed a cross sectional observational study in adolescents from 14 to 19 years old from four different Public Schools at High School in order to identify sexual risk behaviors and their possible associations. We performed statistical tests of odds ratio, chi-square test of independence, G test of independence and Correspondence Analysis for the treatment of data. The sample was 603 adolescents formed by 61.03% (368) women and 38.97% (235) men with a mean age of 17.14 years (SD = ± 1.14 years). Sexually active were 49.25% (297), 54.55% (162) men and 45.45% (135) women, 50.75% (306) did not have their first sexual intercourse, 76.14% (233) women and 23.86% (73) men. The average at first sexual intercourse was 15.23 years and sexual initiation was associated with male gender (OR = 2.43, 95% CI 1.51 – 3.91, p= 0.0003). The onset of sexual activity was associated with inconsistent practice of religion (OR = 8.33, 95% CI 3.15 – 22.05, p <0.0001). Condom use at first sexual intercourse was associated with gender, and women had more consistent use at this occasion (OR = 2.04, 95% CI 1.20 – 3.47, p = 0.011); 29.97 % (89) did not use condom at that occasion, 52.81% (47) women and 47.19% (42) men. Family income was associated with sexual initiation (p=0.0113). The multiple sexual partners in the past three months was associated with male gender (p=0.0001), and male gender was statistically significant compared with the categories of "two", "three" and "more than four" with 83%, 78% and 80% respectively. Friends were the main source of information about sex and sexuality; 91.71% (553) have never taken laboratory tests for detection of HIV. There are sexual risk behaviors among adolescents in this study in particular for the males, so it is necessary to implement policies aimed to adolescent sexual health to be promoted by families, schools, religious institutions and public authorities. / A adolescência é uma fase da vida compreendida entre 10 e 19 anos caracterizada pelos conflitos e descobertas. Nessa fase os adolescentes começam a viver suas primeiras experiências sexuais podendo apresentar comportamentos sexuais de risco à infecções por DST/AIDS. Visando identificar comportamentos sexuais de risco e suas possíveis variáveis associadas em adolescentes escolares do município de Abaetetuba, foi realizado um estudo observacional analítico transversal em adolescentes escolares de 14 a 19 anos matriculados no Ensino Médio de quatro escolas da Rede Pública Estadual. Realizaram-se testes estatísticos de “Odds Ratio”, Qui-quadrado de independência, teste G de independência e Análise de Correspondência para o tratamento dos dados. A amostra calculada foi de 603 adolescentes compostos por 61,03% (368) mulheres e 38,97% (235) homens com idade média de 17,14 anos (dp=± 1,14 anos).
