Conductas de riesgo psicosocial en alumnos del Plantel 01 (Colegio de Bachilleres de Chiapas)

Abstract

The present quantitative research addresses, at a comparative descriptive level, the issue of psychosocial risk factors at the high school level of school center 01 “Tuxtla Terán” of Colegio de Bachilleres de Chiapas (COBACH) located in the city of Tuxtla Gutiérrez; making a comparison between groups of regular students with irregular students. The intervention is a product of the inter-institutional work of the academic body “education and contemporary social processes” of the Universidad de Ciencias y Artes de Chiapas (UNICACH) and of the Procurator's Office of Human Rights (Directorate of Attention to Victims) attached to the General Procurator's Office from Chiapas. It tends to be thought that repetitive students are predisposed toto risky behaviors and, in the words of the educational authorities, to be objects of low academic performance, school failure or dropout. Psychosocial risk behaviors tend to be increased in adolescence, with age being an indirect factor in transgressive or criminal behavior that may put their physical and mental health at risk. For example, in the use and abuse of toxic substances such as drugs, alcohol, suicide attempt, antisocial behavior, risky sexual behavior or teenage pregnancy.
