Abstract:

To assess the attitudes and behaviors regarding alcohol use and analyze associated factors among schoolchildren at public schools of Campina Grande-PB. A cross-sectional study was carried out involving 574 adolescents, with the use of a semi-structured questionnaire. The chi-squared test and Fisher’s exact test were used (5% level of significance). 54.5% of the adolescents had experimented alcohol; 6.7% of whom made heavy use. The largest proportion experimented with alcohol between 11 and 14 years of age (42.8%); 26.3% of the adolescents purchased alcoholic beverages; and beer was the most consumed type (43.8%). The risk of experimentation was greater between 16 and 19 years of age (OR=4.44; p<0.001), those without religion (OR= 4.36; p=0.002), those who worked (OR=2.13; p=0.012) and those who had a fair to poor relationship with their father (OR=2.18; p=0.010). The results of the present study underscore the complexity of this issue and the need to pay particular attention to the adolescent population. Public policies alone are not sufficient. Support from one’s family, school and society is essential to combating early alcohol use and its consequences.
