Comportamentos de risco à saúde de adolescentes e atividades educativas da Estratégia Saúde da Família em Cuiabá, Mato Grosso, 2011

OBJECTIVE: to analyze health risk behaviors in adolescents and Family Health Strategy (FHS) educational activities in Cuiaba, Mato Grosso State, Brazil. METHODS: a cross-sectional study was conducted using data from a survey with adolescents registered with FHS in 2011/2012; Poisson regression was used to estimate prevalence ratios (PR) and 95% confidence interval (CI95%). RESULTS: there was low participation in educational activities on alcohol (23%), food (10%) and physical activity (9%); insufficient physical activity was higher in girls (PR=0.76 - 95%CI 0.68;0.85), alcohol consumption was associated with the 15-19 age range (PR=1.48 - 95%CI 1.29;1.71) and low fruit and vegetable intake was associated with income of ≤2 minimum wages (PR=1.17 - 95%CI 1.02;1.33). CONCLUSION: there was no significant association between adolescent risk behaviors and their participation in FHS educational activities.OBJECTIVE to analyze health risk behaviors in adolescents and Family Health Strategy (FHS) educational activities in Cuiabá, Mato Grosso State, Brazil.
