Abstract:

The objective was to characterize the surroundings of the state schools of Curitiba in relation to the commercialization of alcoholic beverages, and to investigate the association with socioeconomic indicators of the places. Cross-sectional study with primary data collection, in commercial establishments around 30 state schools in the municipality. A questionnaire was applied to describe the characteristics of the sites in relation to the availability of alcoholic beverages. A descriptive analysis was performed and the coefficient of regression (beta) was estimated through mixed multilevel models of the characteristics of the environments and income. 200 establishments were evaluated, 66.0% commercialized alcoholic beverages. Of the sites evaluated, 52 (39.4%) were points of sale for alcohol consumption at the site, and 80 (60.6%) for off-site consumption. The latter category sold alcoholic beverages at lower prices. There were higher frequencies of coffees (β = 0.21, 95% CI: 0.04, 0.36), restaurants (β = 0.05, CI95%: 0.01; β = 0.08, 95% CI: 0.02, 0.13) in higher income environments. While in schools located in lower income neighborhoods, neighborhood markets and bars were more frequent. There were establishments that marketed alcoholic beverages in the vicinity of the schools evaluated.
