AIM: to identify alcohol use and the associated factors in pregnant adolescents of the municipality of Teresina-PI. METHOD: this is cross-sectional study with 256 pregnant adolescents whose data were obtained through questionnaires covering socioeconomic, pregnancy and alcohol consumption characteristics and through the application of the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test, an instrument developed by the World Health Organization for screening for the excessive use of alcohol. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed using the chi-square test and odds ratio. RESULTS: the study indicates a prevalence of 32.4% for alcohol use during pregnancy in adolescents. Of these, 36.1% had scores consistent with risky use. The factors associated with an increased risk of alcohol use during pregnancy are: not having a partner, living on less than 1 minimum wage, not being religious, performing up to 3 prenatal consultations, having suffered violence and alcohol use in previous pregnancies. CONCLUSION: a high prevalence of alcohol consumption by pregnant adolescents and various risk factors involved in this process were identified. These data reflect the need for the use, by nurses, of screening technologies for alcohol consumption during pregnancy and health promotion strategies among groups of adolescents.

Nigeria is ranked high among African countries in the consumption of alcohol and the national adult per capita consumption was estimated at 12.3litres. Harmful alcohol use is the sixth leading cause of disability and deaths in Nigeria. This study assessed the prevalence and factors associated with alcohol use in selected urban communities in Ibadan, Nigeria. This community-based cross sectional study was conducted among 500 respondents in two selected urban communities in Ibadan, Nigeria. The World Health Organization STEPS tool was used to collect data on socio-demographic characteristics of respondents and the history of alcohol use. Alcohol users were categorized into ever consumed, current consumers, consumers within last 12 months, and frequent consumers within 30 days (low, medium, and high consumers).Chi-square analysis was used to identify factors associated with the different categories of alcohol consumption. The mean age of the respondents was 35.36 ± 12.24 years. Almost one third of the participants (29.0%) reported they had ever consumed alcohol and (13.6%) had consumed alcohol within 30 days prior to the study. Factors significantly associated with the ever-use of alcohol were gender ( p = 0.000), and income ( p = 0.000). Current use of alcohol had a statistically significant relationship with male gender ( p = 0.000). The prevalence of high alcohol use is low in the sample of urban communities studied, and factors influencing include sex, marital status, level of education, income. These results should inform policy decisions to address the alcohol use in urban communities in Southwest Nigeria.

Salah satu penyakit tidak menular yang banyak ditemukan pada masyarakat saat ini salah satunya adalah hipertensi yang diawali pre-hipertensi. World Health Organization (WHO) mencatat pada tahun 2012 sedikitnya 839 juta kasus hipertensi, diperkirakan menjadi 1,15 milyar pada tahun 2025 atau sekitar 29% dari total penduduk dunia, dimana penderitanya lebih banyak pada wanita (30%) dibanding pria (29%).  Beberapa faktor risiko lain juga berkontribusi terhadap kenaikan tekanan darah pada wanita, diantaranya riwayat hipertensi, karakteristik seseorang (usia, jenis kelamin, ras), gaya hidup yang di dalamnya termasuk pola konsumsi lemak dan garam tinggi, makan secara berlebihan hingga mengakibatkan obesitas, kebiasaan merokok dan minum alkohol, kurang konsumsi sayuran dan buah, aktivitas fisik, pekerjaan, kualitas tidur, konsumsi kopi, stress, penggunaan alat kontrasepsi hormonal, status gizi dan obesitas sentral.  Perubahan tekanan darah tinggi dapat terjadi pada 5% pemakaian kontrasepsi hormonal. Tekanan darah akan meningkat secara bertahap dan tidak akan menetap. Wanita yang memakai kontrasepsi selama 5 tahun atau lebih, frekuensi perubahan tekanan darah tinggi meningkat 2 sampai 3 kali dari pada tidak memakai alat kontrasepsi hormonal. Resiko terjadinya tekanan darah tinggi akan meningkat dengan bertambahnya umur, lama pemakaian kontrasepsi dan bertambahnya berat badan.  Berdasarkan uraian di atas, peneliti tertarik melakukkan penelitian tentang.  Faktor – faktor yang Berhubungan dengan Kejadian Hipertensi pada Akseptor KB Suntik.  Penelitian ini merupakan analitik korelasi dengan pendekatan cross-sectional study dengan teknik pengambilan sampel accidental sampling dan uji chi square pada analisa datanya.

The World Health Organization recommends pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for all populations at substantial risk of HIV infection, including women. However, data regarding PrEP interest among women is lacking, particularly in Europe. Factors associated with interest in using PrEP were assessed among women respondents to the Flash! PrEP in Europe (FPIE) survey. This community-based cross-sectional study, conducted in 12 European countries, aimed to assess PrEP knowledge and interest. “High objective risk” (HOR) was assessed using established risk criteria following EACS and CDC guidelines. Factors associated with interest in using PrEP were assessed in univariable and multivariable logistic regression models. Among 678 women, 12.5% (n = 85) were considered at HOR, 46.8% (n = 317) indicated prior PrEP knowledge and 18.0% (n = 122) reported interest in using PrEP. Among women at HOR, 40.0% (n = 34) were interested in PrEP. Factors significantly associated with PrEP interest in the final multivariable model were: younger age (18–29 years) (aOR 1.91[95CI: 1.07; 3.41]), bad self-perceived financial status (1.84[1.09; 3.11]), migrant status (south to north) (2.87[1.05; 7.89]), single or dating relationship status (1.93[1.23; 3.03]), sexual abuse history (1.86[1.17; 2.97]), “rather high”/ “high” self-perceived HIV risk (3.21[1.32; 7.81]), and HOR (2.49[1.42; 4.35]). These results show that women at HOR and those who perceived themselves to be at high risk are interested in using PrEP. There is a critical need for targeted information and improved access to PrEP to increase uptake of this HIV prevention tool to meet PrEP interest among women.
