“…12 This was not observed in the present study in the association found between alcohol abuse/dependence and the occurrence of common mental disorders assessed by the SRQ-20. However, as other studies in the literature, 12,22 the present study found strong association between the use of alcohol and illicit drugs.…”

“…A study carried out among junior high, and high school students attending public and private schools in Campinas found that 11.9% of the students had consumed alcohol in at least 20 of the 30 days preceding the survey. 22 A survey conducted in 10 Brazilian capitals found that the frequent use of alcohol (six or more times per month) in students aged 10 to 18 years increased from 9.2%, in 1987, to 15%, in 1997. 9 Although the literature points out that single, divorced, or widowed people generally consume more alcohol, 2,11,17,25 the present study did not fi nd any association between marital status and alcoholism.…”

OBJECTIVE:To estimate the prevalence of alcohol abuse/dependence and identify associated factors among demographic, family, socioeconomic and mental health variables. METHODS:A household survey was carried out in the urban area of Campinas, southeastern Brazil, in 2003. A total of 515 subjects, aged 14 years or more were randomly selected using a stratifi ed cluster sample. The Self-Report Questionnaire and the Alcohol Use Disorder Identifi cation Test were used in the interview. Prevalences were calculated, and univariate and multivariate logistic analyses performed by estimating odds ratios and 95% confi dence intervals. RESULTS:The estimated prevalence of alcohol abuse/dependence was 13.1% (95% CI: 8.4;19.9) in men and 4.1% (95% CI: 1.9;8.6) in women. In the fi nal multiple logistic regression model, alcohol abuse/dependence was signifi cantly associated with age, income, schooling, religion and illicit drug use. The adjusted odds ratios were signifi cantly higher in following variables: income between 2,501 and 10,000 dollars (OR=10.29); income above 10,000 dollars (OR=10.20); less than 12 years of schooling (OR=13.42); no religion (OR=9.16) or religion other than Evangelical (OR=4.77); and illicit drug use during lifetime (OR=4.47). Alcohol abuse and dependence patterns were different according to age group. CONCLUSIONS:There is a signifi cantly high prevalence of alcohol abuse/ dependence in this population. The knowledge of factors associated with alcohol abuse, and differences in consumption patterns should be taken into account in the development of harm reduction strategies.

“…Literature demonstrates that the performance of family activities, such as talking, going out together and having meals constitute protective factors that reduce risk behaviors 13 . The importance of the positive relationship between parents has been documented for the reduction of risks, such as juvenile delinquency, depression and psychosomatic symptoms 26 . Therefore, "having meals with parents" protects against risk behaviors, such as smoking, drinking and using drugs 2 .…”

ABSTRACT:Objective: To evaluate the association between the consumption of psychoactive substances (tobacco, alcohol and illicit drugs) and demographic variables, mental health and family context among school-aged children. Methods: The National Adolescent School-based Health Survey was held with a national sample of 109,104 students. Data regarding demographic variables, family background and mental health were collected. Logistic regression was used to evaluate the associations of interest. Results: Multivariate analyses showed that alcohol consumption was higher among girls, drug experimentation was more frequent among boys and that there was no difference between sexes for smoking. Being younger and mulatto were negatively associated with the use of tobacco, alcohol and illicit drugs. Also negatively associated with such risk behaviors were characteristics of the family context represented by: living with parents, having meals together and parental supervision (when parents know what the child does in their free time). Moreover, characteristics of mental health such as loneliness and insomnia were positively associated with use of tobacco, alcohol and illicit drugs. Not having friends was positively associated with use of tobacco and illicit drugs and negatively associated with alcohol use. Conclusions: The study shows the protective effect of family supervision in the use of tobacco, alcohol and drugs and, on the contrary, the increasing use of substances according to aspects of mental health, such as loneliness, insomnia and the fact of not having friends. The study's findings may support actions from health and education professionals, as well as from the government and families in order to prevent the use of these substances by adolescents.

“…O uso freqüente de álcool (11,7%) encontrado neste estudo corrobora com os achados de Tavares et al (2001), que detectaram uma prevalência de 16,8% em um estudo com adolescentes escolares. Dos 179 universitários pesquisados, 6,2% relataram fazer uso pesado de álcool, dado divergente dos encontrados por Soldera et al (2004), que obtiveram a prevalência de 11,9% entre escolares, mas semelhante ao de Carvalho et al (2000), que encontraram prevalência de 6,5% entre universitários de ciências jurídicas e econômicas. Tais resultados são preocupantes, visto que o uso pesado de ál-cool pode levar a instalação da dependência.…”
