IntroducciÓn: El uso frecuente de reproductores de archivos de música y la intensidad del volumen son factores de riesgo para el desarrollo de hipoacusia.
Objetivo: Validar el Cuestionario de Tamizaje Auditivo Escolar (CUTAE) para identificar alteraciones auditivas en adolescentes usuarios de reproductores de archivos música comprimida (RPAMC).
MÉtodo: Se estudiaron adolescentes usuarios de RPAMC, sin hipoacusia ni patología de oído medio. Se aplicó el CUTAE y se realizó audiometría. Se determinó reproducibilidad (coeficiente correlación intraclase-CCI), consistencia interna (alfa de Cronbach), validez de apariencia (técnica Delphi), validez concurrente CUTAE-audiometría (correlación de Pearson) y validez predictiva (regresión múltiple) del cuestionario.
Resultados: Se evaluaron 59 adolescentes (118 oídos), 66 % del sexo femenino, con edad promedio fue de 13 años; 90 oídos con parámetros normales, 18 con umbral menor de 20 dB con morfología de trauma acústico (TA) en la frecuencia de 6 KHz y 10 con TA. El cuestionario tuvo CCI de 0.788, alfa de Cronbach de 0.807, correlación de Pearson de 0.290 a 0.368 (p < 0.05); las variables predictivas fueron horas de uso del dispositivo, dificultad para escuchar a las personas (p < 0.05) y tipo de zumbido (p = 0.07).
ConclusiÓn: El CUTAE tiene propiedades clinimétricas para considerarlo una prueba de tamizaje en la detección de alteraciones auditivas en adolescentes usuarios de RPAMC.
Introduction: Frequent use of audio file players and volume intensity are risk factors for the development of hypoacusis.
Objective: To validate the school-age hearing screening questionnaire (CUTAE, by its Spanish acronym) for hearing disorders detection in teenage users of compressed audio file players (CAFP).
Methods: Adolescent CAFP users without hypoacusis or middle ear pathology were studied. The CUTAE was applied and audiometry was carried out. Reproducibility (intraclass correlation coefficient-ICC), internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha), face validity (Delphi technique), CUTAE-audiometry concurrent validity (Pearson’s correlation) and predictive validity (multiple regression) of the questionnaire was assessed.
Results: Fifty nine adolescents (118 ears), 66% females, average age of 13 years, were assessed. Ninety ears had normal parameters, 18 showed a threshold decrease < 20 dB, with morphology associated with acoustic trauma (AT) at 6 kHz and 10 with AT. The questionnaire had an ICC of 0.788, a Cronbach alpha-value of 0.807, Pearson’s correlation values of 0.290 to 0.368 (p < 0.05); the predictive variables were usage hours, difficulty hearing others (p < 0.05) and type of buzzing (p = 0.07).
Conclusion: The CUTAE has adequate clinimetric properties to be considered as a screening test in the detection of hearing disorders in adolescent users of CAFP.

Unlabelled: Studies of adolescents receiving inpatient substance use treatment remain limited. We explored the characteristics of adolescents who received substance use treatment as inpatients in a psychiatric hospital in Brazil and factors associated with length of time in this treatment.
Methods: A retrospective observational study was performed.
The purpose of the study was to describe the relationship between substance use and impulsivity according to gender as a moderating variable in a sample of Argentine students. Three hundred ninety students were evaluated using a sociodemographic and clinical ad hoc questionnaire; the ASSIST test and the Barratt scale were used to detect substance use and impulsiveness levels respectively. Equal percentages of men and women use alcohol and tobacco; a greater proportion of men use cannabis.

This article focuses on the inter-subjective aspects involved in the care of psychosocial crises of adolescents, their representations and developments. A qualitative research was developed from a psycho-sociological perspective by constructing life story narratives of adolescents treated at a Psychosocial Care Center for Children and Adolescents (CAPSi). It was based on the theoretical contributions of René Kaës on group and cultural aspects of the crisis, as well as its relation to adolescence.

Quality of life (QOL) can be affected by the presence of mental disorders, like Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Thus, the evaluation and monitoring of QOL in patients with mental disorders enables the identification of priorities, making it possible to implement actions to improve QOL among health system users. The scope of this article is to measure QOL in OCD patients in primary health care.
