SUMMARY:

Introduction: Exposure to violence can result in injury, psychological damage, developmental disabilities and even death. However, violence affects the population in an unequal way, generating differentiated risks based on gender, race / color, social space and age, especially among adolescents and youth. Objective: To analyze perceived racial discrimination and exposure to various types of violence in Brazilian adolescents and young people, according to race / skin color differences. Methodology: Three analyzes were performed: 1) cross-sectional study with data 2015 National Student Health Survey (PeNSE) 2015, in which the prevalence of racial discrimination and its association with socioeconomic, health and school context factors were analyzed in a Poisson regression; 2) cross-sectional study that analyzed the prevalence of different types of violence according to race / skin color, in a multilevel Poisson Regression model adjusted for age, sex and maternal education using data from PeNSE 2015 and 3) ecological study that analyzed rates homicides of young people aged 15 to 29 years in Brazilian municipalities in the period 2015-2017, by sex and race and contextual variables related to education, income, schooling and vulnerability in a multilevel Linear Regression. Results: The prevalence of racial discrimination perceived among Brazilian schoolchildren was 2.58% (95% CI: 2.40-2.78) and was associated with the following factors such as male gender (PR 1.69; 1.40 -2.04), having black skin color (RP 7.39; 5.49-9.96), being indigenous (RP 4.95; 3.32-7.38), with an uneducated mother (RP 1 , 74; 1.25-2.42) and who has expected schooling up to high school (RP 1.50; 1.24-1.83). As for exposure to violence, black students were more involved in fighting with firearms and who were seriously injured (PR = 1.50; 95% CI: 1.27-1.76; and PR = 1.36; 95% CI : 1.22-1.52, respectively); indigenous people had a higher prevalence of being involved in physical fighting (PR = 1.23; 95% CI: 1.09-1.38) and of getting involved in fights with blunt weapons and sharps (PR = 1.38; 95% CI: 1.11 - 1.73). In the multilevel model, having black skin color was associated with studying at a school located in a risk area and studying at a school that interrupted or suspended classes for safety reasons. Regarding homicide mortality rates, the most pronounced relationship between homicides among young blacks and homicide rates in the adult population stands out. Conclusion: the results demonstrate that there is racial inequity in the exposure to violence in Brazil, with the main victims being adolescents and young people belonging to the black and indigenous population.
