This is a qualitative study, conducted in the metropolitan area of Santos. Twelve women who have used crack were interviewed through a semistructured interview. The interviews were analyzed from the perspective of content analysis. Our data indicate that pregnancy is a critical time to sensitize these women and try to lessen the damage and the risks associated with the use of crack among them.

Realizou-se uma pesquisa qualitativa, da qual participaram 29 usuários de crack de ambos os sexos. Os dados oriundos das entrevistas semiestruturadas foram analisados de acordo com o conteúdo temático e organizados em categorias. Os resultados revelaram que os usuários de crack percebem os vínculos familiares como frágeis. Além disso, mencionaram a vivência de situações de violência e consumo de drogas entre os membros da família. Os dados indicam a necessidade de cuidado dos familiares, os quais, muitas vezes, também enfrentam problemas com o uso de substâncias, e o desenvolvimento de ações educativas preventivas na infância e na adolescência. ABSTRACT-The main objective of this study was to analyze the perceptions of crack users on their family relationships in childhood and adolescence. In this qualitative study, 29 crack users of both sexes participated. Data from the semi-structured interviews were analyzed according to thematic content and organized into categories. Results show that the crack users perceive their family bonds during childhood and adolescence as fragile. In addition, they mention the experience of violence and drug use among family members. The data indicate the need to strengthen the care of family members, who often also face problems related to substance use, and the development of preventive educational activities in childhood and adolescence.

The goal of this study was to approach this population in order to understand their access/use of health services to the treatment of drug addiction. This is a qualitative research consisting of 26 individual interviews and one focal group with five crack users living in the streets of a city of Baixada Santista/SP. The analysis of this study revealed that the treatment offered by therapeutic communities is the best known, but it is not effective for this population. Regarding the treatment offered by the public health system, there were criticism, little information and limited access, and a lack of knowledge about harm reduction strategies. The crack users reported feelings of stigma, discrimination and prejudice, feelings which were experienced also in their relation with health professionals, being these important factors that hinder the access of this population to the care and health system.

This study aimed to test a protocol based on natural therapy, alternatives to pharmacological and psychotherapeutic, through Mindfulness Meditation, Reiki, Acupuncture and Auriculotherapy, to treat the symptoms of depression for those who were with no pharmacological or psychotherapeutic treatment for these symptoms.Methods: this is a randomized single-blind controlled pilot study. The final sample was 21 participants divided in two groups: experimental and control. Participants were evaluated by validated instruments during the screening process and after the intervention. The instruments were: Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale and Beck Depression Inventory. Intervention was performed in eight sessions, during two months. All the techniques were used in the experimental group. Analysis of variance with repeated measures was used to compare pre-intervention to post-intervention moments.
Results: the result of analysis indicates a significant reduction in the symptoms of depression after the intervention among the experimental group.Limitations: there is no way to determine which of the techniques used produced the most significant result.
Conclusions: The protocol proposed in this study was effective in reducing the symptoms of depression to whom are not eligible for traditional treatment.

It explores an element of partner violence that has long been taboo among feminist activists and researchers: the role of alcohol in contributing to the frequency and severity of violence in intimate relationships. I began researching the issue of violence against women in the early 1980s. At that time, the problem of partner violence—especially on an international scale—was still deeply hidden. Victims suffered in silence and few global institutions acknowledged, let alone tackled, the issue. Women’s groups were beginning to organize in countries outside of the United States and Europe. But they still saw the problem of partner violence as an aberration—a problem unique to their culture. It was not until the late 1990s that advocates began to join forces across national boundaries and frame intimate partner violence as a global issue, first as an abuse of women’s human rights at the United Nations World Conference on Human Rights in Vienna in 19...

A population-based survey was conducted in a sample of Metropolitan São Paulo, Brazil, using the GENACIS questionnaire, Gender, Alcohol and Culture: An International Study. Adjusted prevalence ratios were calculated using Poisson Regression with robust variance, and the dependent variable was the occurrence of falls. Interviews were carried out with 432 subjects whose average age was 69.5 years. Regarding alcohol use 50.9% were lifetime abstainers, 25.5% had not drunk in the previous year and 23.6% were current drinkers. Among the latter, 14 (13.7%) were heavy drinkers. In the previous year 24.5% people had falls, which were associated with being a heavy drinker and being older. Although a relationship between being a heavy drinker and falls found in this survey does not allow for inferences on causality, this association supports the hypothesis that a...
