Resumo: | OBJECTIVE: To assess students' perception of domestic violence. METHODS: The study was carried out in a random sample representative (n=5,982) of high-school students aged between 13 and 19 years in Chiapas and San Luis Potosi, Mexico, in 2003. The students answered a self-administered questionnaire on sexual education, sexuality, pregnancy and risk behavior, and domestic violence. Considering the effects of the sample design, a logistic regression analysis was carried out in order to verify the association between socioeconomic and demographic characteristics and risk of domestic violence. RESULTS: The multivariate statistical analysis confirmed that female students are more vulnerable to domestic violence in both states studied (Chiapas: OR=1.87, p=0.01; San Luis: OR=1.53, p=0.00). Moreover, alcohol (Chiapas: OR=2.52, p=0.00; San Luis: OR=1.93, p=0.00) or drug use (Chiapas: OR=2.27, p=0.02; San Luis: OR=1.82, p=0.01) were the two most significant variables for students exposure to domestic violence. The association between alcohol consumption and student's age increases the risk of violence. The youngest students had 51% (Chiapas) and 73% (San Luis) more risk of experience violence by a relative than older students. CONCLUSIONS: Teenagers remain one of the most vulnerable population groups to domestic violence due to their physical, affective, economic and social dependence on other adults. The study was one of the first attempts to measure domestic violence against students. |

MÉTODOS: El estudio se realizó mediante una muestra aleatoria representativa (n=5,982) de estudiantes de secundaria y preparatoria de 13 a 19 años de edad en Chiapas y en San Luis Potosí, México, en el año 2003. Los estudiantes respondieron a un cuestionario de autollenado acerca de temas de educación sexual, sexualidad, embarazo y comportamientos de riesgo de los adolescentes y violencia intrafamiliar. Considerando el efecto del diseño muestral, se efectuó un análisis de regresión logística para ver asociación entre características sociodemoeconómicas y el riesgo de sufrir una agresión en el hogar. RESULTADOS: El análisis estadístico multivariado confirma la mayor vulnerabilidad femenina frente a la violencia familiar en ambas entidades federativas (Chiapas: RM=1.87, p=0.01; San Luis: RM=1.53, p=0.00). Asimismo, el que los estudiantes bebieran alcohol (Chiapas: RM=2.52, p=0.00; San Luis: RM=1.93, p=0.00) o consumieran drogas (Chiapas: RM=2.27, p=0.02; San Luis: RM=1.82, p=0.01) resultaron ser las dos variables más importantes que expusieron a los estudiantes a la violencia intrafamiliar. Se mostró que la interacción del consumo de alcohol con la edad de los estudiantes aumentó el riesgo de violencia. Así, los más jóvenes tuvieron un riesgo del 51% en Chiapas y del 73% en San Luis de sufrir una agresión de un familiar que los de mayor edad. CONCLUSIONES: Los adolescentes continúan siendo una de las poblaciones más vulnerables debido a su dependencia física, afectiva, económica y social hacia los adultos a su cargo. Esta encuesta es una de las primeras aproximaciones a la medición de violencia hacia los estudiantes. Universidade de São Paulo.
