Diagnostic utility of new short versions of AUDIT to detect binge drinking in undergraduate students
2021
ABSTRACT This study examines the usefulness of two AUDIT adaptations with a sample of 907 undergraduate alcohol users. On the one hand, it includes the AR2i that encompasses revised A2r and A3r consumption items, and on the other hand—in addition to the two former items—the inclusion of items 4, 8, and 9, which evaluate consequences. The results indicate that both adaptations identify BD more precisely than the traditional scales (AUDIT and AUDIT-C), but the usefulness of each will depend on the clinical purpose they are given. In environments where time is a key factor in detecting high-risk consumption it will be more appropriate to use AR2i, which evaluates the pattern of con…
Psychometric properties of the Finnish version of the Young Person's Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation (YP-CORE) questionnaire.
2017
An increasing need exists for suitable measures to evaluate treatment outcome in adolescents. YP-CORE is a pan-theoretical brief questionnaire developed for this purpose, but it lacks studies in different cultures or languages.To explore the acceptability, factor structure, reliability, validity, and sensitivity to change of the Finnish translation of YP-CORE.The study was conducted at the Department of Adolescent Psychiatry, Helsinki University Central Hospital. A Finnish translation was prepared by a team of professionals and adolescents. A clinical sample of 104 patients was asked to complete the form together with BDI-21 and BAI, and 92 of them filled the forms again after a 3-month tre…
Being an athlete and being a young person: Technologies of the self in managing an athletic career in youth ice hockey in Finland
2018
Engaging in youth sports is a major investment, and it requires choosing and balancing between an athlete’s life and other practices and ways of life important to adolescents. In this Foucauldian year-long ethnographic study on Finnish 18–20-year-old elite male ice hockey players I consider an athletic career as a moral question and examine what aspects of their behaviour are affected when these players submit to the external and internal control they encounter when advancing themselves and their careers, and how they problematize the codes that govern their actions. The players expressed six modes of subjection altogether that were important to cultivation of the self: exercising, nutriti…
The image of the smoking and non-smoking young person
1985
MORE than 1,600 Finnish secondary school pupils between the ages of 12 and 16 completed a question naire about their image of the smoking and non- smoking adolescent. A smoker was described as nervous, unfriendly, untidy, stupid and a low achiever in sport and academic work, but despite this, was seen as a leader. Non-smokers were seen as calm, strong, fairly modest, friendly, tidy and smart, but not as leaders. Older pupils saw the smoker in a more positive light. Those who smoked saw the non- smoker image as positive, and rated the smoking image more highly than did non smokers.
Mikä nuorta liikuttaa? : tutkimus liikuntatottumusten rakentumisesta lapsesta nuoreksi aikuiseksi
2016
Tutkimuksessa kuvataan lapsena liikunta-aktiivisuudeltaan erilaisten nuorten liikuntatottumusten rakentumista lapsesta nuoreksi aikuiseksi. Nuorten kokemuksia tarkastellaan yksilöllisesti ja koko elämäntilanteen kokonaisuus huomioiden elämänkulun näkökulmasta. Tutkimuksen tarkoitus oli selvittää, miten liikunta-aktiivisuus muuttuu elämänkulun aikana ja millaisiksi nuoret kuvaavat niitä elämänkulun kokemuksia, jotka ovat heidän liikunta-aktiivisuuttaan muuttaneet. Lisäksi tehtävänä oli kuvata, millainen asema liikunnalla on nuoren arjessa. Retrospektiivisen pitkittäistutkimuksen muodosti kaksi erillistä aineistonkeruuvaihetta. Tutkimusaineisto kerättiin samoilta henkilöiltä vuosina 2001 ja 2…
Biomechanical Bases for Anterior Knee Pain and Patellar Instability

Probably the neural factor is the cause of the well established symptoms in patients with certain mechanical anomalies and a knee overuse.
Perfil de los menores en conflicto con la ley
2012
Es importante conocer el perfil del menor que comete actos delictivos y que estudiamos a través de métodos cuantitativos obtenidos tras haberles incoado expediente en la Fiscalía de menores. El estudio de variables psico-socio-educativas, legales y ejecutivas de la situación de los menores aportará el perfil de la situación de los jóvenes en conflicto con la ley. El registro de las infracciones penales, las características de la ejecución permitirán saber cuáles son las circunstancias de los menores, la reincidencia, la efectividad de las medidas, etc. En definitiva permitir conocer la situación para poder activar medidas resocializadoras, recursos efectivos, en definitiva actuaciones que n…
