Abstract:

Associated with positive impacts on health, religiosity has functioned as a possible protection factor against using alcohol by teenagers. The present study evaluated the prevalence of binge drinking and its association with religiosity between 12 year-old students, from Diamantina/MG. Statistical analyses involved chi-square Pearson (p<0,05) and Poisson regression with robust variance. The sample was a census of 588 students. Participation in religious activities was associated with no binge drinking (PR = 0,815; 95% CI: 0,694 – 0,956); and consumption of alcoholic beverages by the best friend was associated with the binge drinking (PR = 1,571; 95% CI: 1,425- 1,732). It was concluded that religiosity was associated with no consumption of alcoholic beverages in binge.
