SUMMARY:
ABSTRACT
Introduction: Adolescence is a transitional stage marked by biological, psychological, and
social changes. This period is prone to mental disorders development, making it crucial to
investigate the mental health of young individuals. They are often exposed to risky behaviors,
such as psychoactive substance use. The vulnerability faced by adolescents, both in terms of
physical and mental health, requires specific attention and efforts to assist them in their daily
lives. Objective: To assess the occurrence of anxiety, depression, stress, and the use of alcohol
and other drugs in adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A cross-sectional,
exploratory-analytical study with a quantitative approach was conducted with ninth-grade
students from public schools in Divinópolis, located in the Midwest of Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Data were collected between 2020 and 2021, with 226 adolescents, using the Sociodemographic
Questionnaire, Drug Use Screening Inventory (DUSI), and Depression Anxiety and Stress
Scale (DASS-21). The study followed the guidelines and safeguards established by Resolution
466/2012 for research involving human subjects. Results: The findings indicate that 16-year
olds have the highest rate of alcohol consumption, reaching 62.5% of the sample, while 25% of
these youths report tobacco use. Regarding gender, women have a higher proportion of alcohol
consumption, reaching 37.6%, and medication use, at 32.1%. Conclusion: The dissertation
addresses disorders in adolescents during the pandemic, emphasizing anxiety, depression,
stress, alcohol, and drug use. Health promotion requires educational and multiprofessional
interventions, with a focus on Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. Specific policies are essential for
the well-being of this significant population. The research is crucial to understand and address
the demands of adolescents, preventing potential emotional disorders throughout life.
