0053/2016 - Associação entre as condutas de risco do uso de álcool e sexo desprotegido em adolescentes numa cidade do Sul do Brasil Association between the risk of using alcohol and unprotected sex in adolescents in a city in the southern region of Brazil
O objetivo deste artigo é analisar as condutas de uso abusivo de álcool e sexo desprotegido e a associação entre ambos em escolares numa cidade do Sul do Brasil. Trata-se de um estudo transversal e de abordagem quantitativa com 590 alunos do Ensino Médio em duas escolas públicas. Quanto ao uso do álcool, 14% pontuaram de 8 a 40 no The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), o que significa, no mínimo, uma conduta de beber de risco, com índice maior entre rapazes. Além disso, 31,1% beberam de modo a se embriagar, o que significa beber 6 ou mais doses, segundo o AUDIT; e, mesmo dentre aqueles que são bebedores de baixo risco, 21,1% tiveram esse padrão de beber. Em relação ao comportamento sexual, os rapazes iniciaram o intercurso sexual mais precocemente e o tipo de relacionamento mais referido foi o ficar; os rapazes ficam, e as moças namoram mais. Quanto ao resultado da associação entre uso de álcool e relação sexual, 47,3% declararam já ter usado álcool antes de ter relações sexuais e aqueles que iniciaram a atividade sexual se embriagaram mais e tiveram maior pontuação no AUDIT. Recomendam-se novos estudos a respeito da associação entre ambas as condutas no Brasil, já que a relação causal não é clara e apresenta diversos modelos de explicação.

Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the abusive use of alcohol and unprotected sex and the association between them in students in a city in southern region of Brazil. It is a cross-sectional study and of quantitative approach with 590 students from High School in two public schools. Regarding the use of alcohol, 14% scored from 8 to 40 in The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), which means, at least, a risky drinking behavior, with greater index among boys. Moreover, 31.1% drank until get drunk, which means drinking 6 or more doses according to AUDIT; and even among those who are drinkers of lower risk, 21.1% had this drinking model. Related to the sexual behavior, young boys started sexual life earlier and the kind of relationship more referred by them is the one with no commitment, while girls have more relationships with commitment. In relation to the results of the association between use of alcohol and sexual intercourse, 47.3% stated the use of alcohol before having sex, and those who started sexual activity got more drunk and had higher score in the AUDIT. New studies are recommended regarding the association between both behaviors in Brazil, considering that the casual relationship is not clear and presents several explanation models.
