This article seeks to analyze contraceptive practices of Brazilian adolescents and to discuss associated vulnerability situations. A cross-sectional study was conducted, using the database of the National Survey on Demography and Health of Women and Children _ PNDS 2006. Factors associated with the current use of contraceptive methods were investigated. The analysis included 986 sexually-active adolescents. Bivariate analysis between the outcome and each of the socioeconomic, demographic and reproductive characteristics of women was performed. The associations between variables were evaluated using multivariate logistic regression. Four factors related to outcome were identified in the multivariate analysis: having completed junior high school (aOR=2.29; CI 95% 1.07_4.85); being married or cohabiting with a partner (aOR=2.85; CI 95% 1.45_5.59); having used contraceptives during the first sexual intercourse (aOR=2.77; CI 95% 1.36_5.63); and having access to transportation to get to health center services (aOR=3.33; CI 95% 1.42_7.80). Adolescents with higher social vulnerability are at a disadvantage regarding adoption of contraceptive methods. This points to the need to establish intersectoral articulations of public policies, which could ensure their reproductive rights.

Objective: Checking the sociodemographic and clinical factors associated with the prevalence of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) in a maternity school. Materials and methods: A quantitative cross-sectional study in a maternity hospital in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. In data collection, we used a standardized form that contained sociodemographic and clinical data from the medical records of 83 women for the period of 2018. Stata version 14 software was used in the analyses. Bivariate analysis was conducted using Pearson’s or Fisher’s exact tests. Poisson regression was performed with robust variation in multivariate analysis. Prevalence ratios (PR) and respective 95 % confidence intervals were estimated. The significance level of the tests was 5 %. Results: The prevalence of PPH was 38.6 % and 25.6 % for atony as the cause. In the bivariate analysis, there was an association between PPH and non-breastfeeding in the first hour of life (p = 0.039). In the multivariate analysis, it was identified that multiparous women had an increase in the prevalence of PPH by almost twice (PR = 1.97). Not breastfeeding in the first hour of life increased this prevalence more than four times (PR = 4.16). Conclusions: Monitoring multiparous women during birth care and encouraging breastfeeding in the first hour of life may decrease the prevalence of PPH.

Pap Test Screening

Abstract Background: Many countries currently recommend that screening for cervical cancer begin at the age of 25 years. Premature screening (before that age) could lead to unnecessary follow-up examinations and procedures that turn out to be useless. Our objective is to ascertain if the use of particular contraceptive methods are associated with premature screening. Methods: This cross-sectional study based on the CONSTANCES cohort enabled us to include 4297 women younger than 25 years. The factors associated with premature screening were modeled by logistic regression. Missing data were handled by multiple imputations . The multivariate analyses were adjusted for sex life, social and demographic characteristics, and health status . Results: Nearly half (48.5%) the women younger than 25 years had already undergone premature screening. Women not using contraceptives (aOR 0.3, 95% CI 0.3-0.5) and those using nonmedicalized contraceptives (condom, spermicide, etc.) (aOR 0.5, 95% CI 0.4-0.6) had premature screening less often than women using birth control pills. Higher risks of premature screening were observed in 20-year-old women (aOR 2.7, 95% CI 2.2-3.3) and in those with more than 5 lifetime partners (aOR 2.5, 95% CI 2.0-3.1), compared respectively with those of women who were younger and those with 5 or fewer lifetime partners. Conclusion: Young women using contraceptives that require a doctor's prescription are exposed to premature screening more often than both those not using contraception and those with nonmedicalized contraceptives.

Suicide and suicide attempts are considered global health problems. With regard to the main causes of unnatural deaths, Brazil ranks as the eighth country with the highest absolute number of suicides. The aim of this study was to analyze the factors associated with the risk of suicide in a metropolitan city in Brazil. This was a cross-sectional study carried out in Recife, in the northeast region of Brazil. Epidemiological surveillance was conducted on the information systems regarding attempted suicide, suicide, and undetermined deaths in the period from 2007 to 2017. A record linkage between the information systems was performed. Descriptive statistics, bivariate analysis, and logistic regression were performed with an adopted a significance level of 5%. In the city of Recife, there were 4495 suicide attempts in the period, and the most frequent suicide attempts were by single females, aged between 20 and 39 years old, and who used either medication or poison to die by suicide. A total of 141 individuals died by suicide, and exogenous intoxication was the most common method. Knowing the common characteristics and associated factors of those who attempt and die by suicide is key for the development of prevention policies and intervention strategies for suicide.
