| Abstract (English): |
Objective. Report prevalence of functioning difficulties and disabilities among Mexican adolescent women 15-17 years old and identify differences in characteristics of those with and without a functioning difficulty or disability Materials and methods. Using data from the National Survey of Boys, Girls and Women in Mexico 2015 we estimated prevalence of functioning difficulties and disability and used chi square tests for independence and logistic regression to explore associations between this condition and various characteristics. Results. Of Mexican adolescent women 15-17 years old, 11.1% had a functioning difficulty or disability. The group of domains of functioning difficulty and disability with by far the highest prevalence was socio-emotional and behavioral functioning difficulties or disability with 8.6%. Being employed, rural residence and self-reported depression symptoms were associated with having functioning difficulties or disability. Conclusions. This survey constitutes an important initial step in collecting data on functioning difficulty and disability in Mexico although larger samples should be studied. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |

Objetivo. Reportar la prevalencia de dificultades de funcionamiento y discapacidad entre mujeres adolescentes mexicanas de 15-17 años e identificar diferencias en características entre las que tienen tal condición y las que no. Material y métodos. Basado en la Encuesta Nacional de Niños, Niñas y Mujeres 2015, se estimaron prevalencias de problemas de funcionamiento y discapacidad y se exploró la relación con varias características con ji cuadrada y regresión logística. Resultados. El 11.1% de las mujeres adolescentes mexicanas de 15-17 años tuvieron dificultades de funcionamiento o discapacidad. El grupo de ámbitos de dificultades de funcionamiento y discapacidad con la mayor prevalencia fue socioemocional y comportamiento con 8.6%. Tener empleo, residencia rural y síntomas de depresión autoreportadas están asociadas con tener dificultades de funcionamiento y discapacidad. Conclusiones. Esta encuesta constituye un primer paso importante en la generación de datos sobre dificultades de funcionamiento y discapacidad en México, aunque se requiere estudiar el tema en muestras mayores.
