Resumo:
O estudo analisou a exposição dos adolescentes à violência, considerando o acesso à arma, o uso abusivo de álcool e/ou uso de drogas ilícitas e a autoestima dos adolescentes, e investigou a influência de fatores socioeconômicos, escolares e características familiares com a exposição a esse fenômeno. Estudo transversal, realizado em Fortaleza, Ceará, em 2009, com 458 adolescentes. Foram utilizados questionários e/ou entrevistas estruturadas para coleta dos dados e na análise aplicamos o teste de correlação de Pearson, com a confiabilidade de 95%. Ao correlacionar a exposição do adolescente à violência com as variáveis naturalidade (p=0,020), tempo de estudo em anos (p=0,009), absenteísmo escolar (p<0,001), responsável financeiro pela família (p=0,007), pais ou responsáveis etilistas (p<0,001), relações familiares boas/muito boas (p=0,009) e a não satisfação dos pais com amizades de seus filhos (p<0,001), identificamos associação direta. Assim, é necessário que as políticas públicas enfoquem rede de apoio ao cuidado com o adolescente e que os centros urbanos organizem-se social e politicamente na busca pela compreensão dos efeitos da exposição à violência em adolescentes de comunidades de baixa renda.

Abstract:
This a cross-sectional study made in Fortaleza, Ceará, 2009, which included 458 teenagers, this study analized teenagers’ exposure to criminal violence, describing the teenagers’ access to weapons, abusive use of alcohol, use of illegal drugs and self-esteem with association between teenagers’ socioeconomic, school and family characteristics. A self-applicable questionnaire and/or interviews were used for data collection, based on self-esteem scale, CAGE questionnaire, and others variables. To descriptive statistical evaluation using Pearson’s chi-square test, at 95% reliability. Out of total participants (458), 17.7% were considered exposed to criminal violence. Significant variables for exposure to that violence included: place of birth (p=0.020), school absenteeism (p<0.001), the father as the head of the family (p=0.026), alcohol-addicted parents (p<0.001), good/very good family relationships (p=0.009), and parents’ dissatisfaction with their children’s friends (p<0.001). The study confirms the literature on the theme by showing that social disorganization in great urban centers, involvement with alcohol, school absenteeism and family’s vulnerability contribute to teenager’s involvement with criminal violence.
