Resumen
El programa Youth Safety Lab (YSL) mejoró el conocimiento sobre prevención de lesiones en estudiantes de secundaria del Área Metropolitana de Toronto (GTA). Sin embargo, se observaron disparidades en la participación y los resultados, especialmente para estudiantes negros y mujeres.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Salud Pública
- Prevención de Lesiones
- Salud del Adolescente
Sus antecedentes:
- Las lesiones juveniles siguen siendo un problema crítico de salud pública en Canadá.
- El programa Youth Safety Lab (YSL) se desarrolló para abordar esta causa principal de muerte.
- Es crucial evaluar el impacto de YSL en el conocimiento y las habilidades de prevención de lesiones en estudiantes de secundaria.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Evaluar la efectividad del programa Youth Safety Lab (YSL).
- Medir las mejoras en el conocimiento y las habilidades de prevención de lesiones entre estudiantes de secundaria.
- Examinar la equidad entre los grupos sociodemográficos con respecto a los resultados del programa.
Principales métodos:
- Se empleó un diseño de estudio longitudinal retrospectivo.
- Participaron 1805 estudiantes de más de 50 escuelas secundarias.
- Los datos se recopilaron en tres momentos utilizando una encuesta basada en el Enfoque de Acción para la Salud.
Principales resultados:
- Se observaron mejoras significativas en el conocimiento sobre prevención de lesiones en las cinco secciones evaluadas.
- Las mayores ganancias se observaron en la respuesta a lesiones por sangrado.
- Se identificaron disparidades en la participación (subrepresentación de estudiantes negros) y en los resultados (mayor mejora en estudiantes mujeres para la respuesta a lesiones por sangrado).
Conclusiones:
- El programa YSL demuestra ser eficaz para mejorar la concienciación sobre la prevención de lesiones entre los estudiantes de secundaria en el GTA.
- Las disparidades identificadas exigen el desarrollo de iniciativas de prevención de lesiones más inclusivas y receptivas.
