[Reducing stigma-discrimination. Help seeking-empowerment. Emotional education-mental health literacy].

The existing literature is reviewed to determine the current state of knowledge about eating disorders (ED), prevention programs in relation to stigma-discrimination, help search, empowerment, emotional education, mental health literacy, and recommending future directions. Preventive interventions, necessary during adolescence and young adulthood, must be designed with the focus on reducing discrimination based on weight and the stigmatization of ED. With some gender specificities, with attention to stress and social isolation, social consensus, EDs in men; with work to reduce compliance with some norms of the male gender, as one of the targets in the development of prevention programs.

[Self-esteem, self-image, and school bullying in eating disorders].

Body dissatisfaction (BD) is considered one of the most important risk factors for the development of an eating disorder (ED), and low self-esteem a confirmed psychological trait of vulnerability. People with ED or related characteristics suffer more often (two to three times more) from bullying or teasing related to appearance. Special mention should be made of participants in intimidation and harassment behaviors, both as victims or perpetrators, who are at greater risk of developing food symptoms.

[Approaches used in secondary prevention of eating disorders: review of the evidence and effectiveness].

The most up-to-date information on the secondary prevention of eating disorders (EDs) is systematically and thoughtfully reviewed. Recommendations are given on screening and detection methods in the school population and at-risk populations; successful programs, training of professionals; referral to care and therapeutic resources; and early intervention. Also future lines are pointed out.

Initial results of the preventive Ícaro- Alcohol Programme.

Harmful alcohol consumption among young people is a public health problem that needs important measures. Interventions in emergency department cases, such as crisis action, could be effective. The initial results of the Icaro-Alcohol Program (detection of young people under 22 years attended in the emergency department for alcohol consumption, a Brief Motivational Intervention (BMI) and referral to a prevention reference service (PRS) and prevention programs) are presented.

Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder and medication with stimulants in young children: a DTI study.

The relationship between attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and white matter connectivity has not been well established yet, specially for children under 10 years of age. In addition, the effects of treatment on brain structure have not been sufficiently explored from a Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) perspective. In this study, the influence of treatment with methylphenidate in the white matter of children with ADHD was investigated using two different and complementary DTI analysis methods: Tract-Based Spatial Statistics (TBSS) and a robust tractography selection method.
