Comments

O artigo apresenta um estudo multicêntrico desenvolvido em várias capitais brasileiras abrangendo as cinco regiões. Trata o relevante tema de avaliação da saúde mental de mães adolescentes, trazendo para a discussão o contexto social e cultural do processo saúde doença, em especial a saúde mental deste grupo de mulheres/meninas.

O artigo releva um estudo epidemiológico bem desenhado e realizado, com objetivos claros e bem definidos, o método detalhadamente apresentado e análise adequada. O uso do Instrumento DAS-21 é bastante apropriado para estudos semelhantes, pois se encontrada adaptado e validado no Brasil.

Os resultados são discutidos à luz de outros estudos semelhantes. No entanto, para a sua publicação seria necessária uma boa revisão de português. Há vários pequenos erros que prejudicam o texto e posso indicar como exemplo na P.2 linha 4; p.4 linha 13 ou p.7 linha 16.
