Abstract: Objetivo: Determinar factores asociados a la portación de armas en adolescentes de Perú. Materiales y métodos: Análisis secundario de la cohorte Young Lives, en el cual se utilizó la tercera ronda de la cohorte mayor para Perú, dentro de la cual se incluyeron 640 participantes. El desenlace fue evaluado con la pregunta “Durante los últimos 30 días ¿Cuántos días llevaste un arma, como por ejemplo un cuchillo, machete o pistola, para tu propia protección?”, la cual se categorizó como Sí (por lo menos un día) y No (nunca). Las características sociodemográficas y antecedente de violencia también fueron medidas utilizando preguntas estandarizadas. Se utilizó regresión de Poisson con varianza robusta para calcular razones de prevalencia (RP) con IC95%. Resultados: El 45,94% fueron mujeres. La edad promedio fue de 15 años en la tercera ronda. El porcentaje de jóvenes que portan armas es 8,12% IC95% [8,10-8,14]. La edad, el consumo de cigarrillo y el consumo de drogas, estuvieron asociados con el desenlace (p<0,05) en el análisis ajustado. No se encontró asociación entre el sexo, el estrato socioeconómico y el haber sido golpeado por un familiar con el desenlace. Conclusiones: Existe asociación entre la edad, el haber sido golpeado por un familiar, el consumo de tabaco y drogas con la portación de armas. Deben realizarse más investigaciones con diferentes instrumentos y con diseño longitudinal.
Objectives: To determine associated factors of weapon carrying in adolescents from Peru. Materials and Methods: Secondary analysis from the Young Lives cohort, in which round three from the older cohort was used, 640 participants were included. The outcome was measured with the question “During the last 30 days, on how many days did you carry a weapon such as a knife, machete or gun to be able to protect yourself?” Sociodemographic characteristics were also assessed. Poisson Regression with robust variance was used to compute Prevalence Ratios (PR) with 95% CI. Results: We found that 45,94% were women. The mean age for round 3 was 15 years of age. 8,12% [8,10-8,14] of the adolescents carried a weapon. In adjusted analysis, age, drug use and smoking cigarettes (p<0,05) were associated with the outcome. We did not find association with gender, socioeconomic status and being hurt by a family member. Conclusions: Age, being hurt by a family member, smoking and drug consumption were associated with weapon carrying. Further evaluations with different instruments and longitudinal designs should be performed.
