In total, 1,012 (61.3%) of the invited students did not participate in the study by reason of not bringing the signed informed consent form, absence to classes in days of questionnaire administration, and one student was not authorized by the mother.…”

“…REV BRAS EPIDEMIOL JAN-MAR 2015; 18(1): [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] The questionnaire Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) -also self-administered -was used to assess alcohol consumption in the past 12 months. AUDIT was developed by the World Health Organization (WHO), consists of 10 questions, and classifies individuals as to alcohol use in low risk or abstinence (score 0 -7), risk consumption (score 8 -15), harmful consumption (score 16 -19), and probable alcohol dependence (score ≥ 20) 18 .…”

“…In other countries, alcohol consumption among adolescents are also concerning. In Coimbra, Portugal, 65% of 12 to 18-year-olds have used alcohol and 19% had already been drunk 14 ; in New South Wales, Australia, 61% of 12 to 17-year-olds had already tried alcohol 3 , while in Germany, this frequency was 93% among 15 to 16-year-olds 10 . Early use of alcohol and the increased frequency of experimentation of alcoholic beverages and its abuse among adolescents justify the need for studies to identify associated factors.…”

ABSTRACT:Objective: To identify issues related to alcohol consumption among students from an inner city in Southeastern Brazil. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 638 students from 13 to 17 years old, of which 355 (55.6%) were girls, were randomly selected in 13/40 (32.5%) public schools from November 2009 to August 2010. A structured questionnaire was used to collect personal/family data, and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) was used to evaluate alcohol consumption. Bivariate analysis and logistic regression were used. Results: It was observed that 516 (80.9%) students have used alcohol in their lifetime, and 115 (18.4%) had hazardous drinking (AUDIT ≥ 8). By crude analysis, the hazardous drinking was associated with age range (16 -17 years old), age at first alcohol consumption (≤ 12 years old), higher family income, conflicting family environment, absence of religion practice and parents that consume alcoholic beverages. By adjusted analysis, it was observed an association with the age at first alcohol consumption [≤ 12 years old, odds ratio (OR) = 2.5; 95% confidence interval (95%CI) 1.4 -4.4]. Active sex life was more frequent among those that have used alcohol in their lifetime (OR = 3.3; 95%CI 2.0 -5.3). Under the influence of alcohol, 22/103 (21.4%) students have not always used condoms. Among all, 25.4% believe that there is no risk in drinking, and 98% had already bought alcoholic beverages. Having the desire to drink after watching alcoholic beverage advertisements was more frequent among adolescents who had already consumed these beverages (OR = 1.7; 95%CI 1.1 -2.6). Conclusion: The alcohol consumption is early and worrying among adolescents, emphasizing the need for awareness of students and their parents and carers to these risks, and also the compliance with the law prohibiting the sale of alcoholic beverages to minors.

“…Igualmente se recomienda usar este y otros tipos de estudio similares (18)(19)(20) para sensibilizar a las autoridades universitarias sobre la necesidad de la implementación de políticas o programas de prevención. Deberían hacerse investigaciones para examinar mejores formas de promover la reeducación normativa en las universidades, y para explorar la posible eficacia reeducativa sobre normas erradas con respecto a drogas diferentes al alcohol.…”

rESUMo objetivo: O presente estudo teve como objetivo conhecer evidências de validade e precisão do Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT). Métodos: Contou-se com uma amostra de conveniência (não probabilística) de 547 estudantes universitários de Fortaleza (CE), com idade média de 21,6 anos (dp = 4,86; amplitude de 18 a 53), a maioria do sexo masculino (51,5%), solteira (91,4%) e católica (62,5%). Os participantes responderam ao AUDIT e a perguntas demográficas. Procurando conhecer a estrutura fatorial, além de estatísticas descritivas, realizou-se uma Análise de Componentes Principais. Adicionalmente, a fim de avaliar a precisão do instrumento, efetuaram-se cálculos de alfa de Cronbach (consistência interna), correlações de r de Pearson e coeficiente de correlação intraclasse -ICC (precisão teste-reteste). resultados: De acordo com a análise de componentes principais com rotação oblimin, a estrutura bifatorial do AUDIT mostrou-se coerente, com todos os itens apresentando saturações satisfatórias, superior a |0,40|, tendo o Fator 1 explicado 47,5% da variância total com alfa de 0,84 e o Fator 2 explicado 11,6% da variância total com alfa de 0,69. Os resultados do teste-reteste indicaram correlação forte entre os dados obtidos na primeira (t 1 ) e segunda (t 2 ) aplicação (r tt = 0,94, p < 0,01), sem diferença significativa de médias nos dois tempos (m t1 = 0,37, dp = 0,49; m t2 = 0,34, dp 2 = 0,47; p > 0,05), com ICC satisfatório (0,96). Conclusões: Os achados apoiaram a adequação psicométrica do AUDIT, com as análises fatoriais explorató-rias apontando como mais satisfatória a estrutura com dois fatores, bem como atestaram sua boa estabilidade temporal. aBStraCt objective: This study aimed to know evidences of validity and reliability of the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT). Methods: For this purpose, we considered 547 college students from Fortaleza (CE) with a mean age of 21.6 years (sd = 4.86, varying from 18 to 53), mostly male (51.5%), single (91.4%) and catholic (62.5%). The participants answered the AUDIT and demographic questions. Looking to know AUDIT's factorial structure, we carried out a principal component analysis. Additionally, in order to evaluate its reliability, we calculated Cronbach's alpha (internal consistency), Pearson correlation r and intraclass coefficient Palavras-chave AUDIT, alcoolismo, estudos de validação, instrumento de rastreio, parâmetros.
