“…A limitation of the current model is that it includes only age and gender as individual characteristics. Other characteristics such as religion, race/ethnicity, and socioeconomic status are relevant with regard to injunctive norms (Kathol & Sgoutas-Emch, 2017; Meyers, Brown, Grant, & Hasin, 2017; Pedersen, Bakken, & von Soest, 2015). While it is anticipated that these characteristics will be included in future versions of the model, it is important to note that scarcity of empirical evidence on injunctive drinking norms in these subgroups poses a challenge to informing respective priors of the model.…”

Background. By defining what is “normal,” appropriate, expected, and unacceptable, social norms shape human behavior. However, the individual-level mechanisms through which social norms impact population-level trends in health-relevant behaviors are not well understood. Aims. To test the ability of social norms mechanisms to predict changes in population-level drinking patterns. Method. An individual-level model was developed to simulate dynamic normative mechanisms and behavioral rules underlying drinking behavior over time. The model encompassed descriptive and injunctive drinking norms and their impact on frequency and quantity of alcohol use. A microsynthesis initialized in 1979 was used as a demographically representative synthetic U.S. population. Three experiments were performed in order to test the modelled normative mechanisms. Results. Overall, the experiments showed limited influence of normative interventions on population-level alcohol use. An increase in the desire to drink led to the most meaningful changes in the population’s drinking behavior. The findings of the experiments underline the importance of autonomy, that is, the degree to which an individual is susceptible to normative influence. Conclusion. The model was able to predict theoretically plausible changes in drinking patterns at the population level through the impact of social mechanisms. Future applications of the model could be used to plan norms interventions pertaining to alcohol use as well as other health behaviors.

“…Se encontró también correlación negativa significativa entre las creencias espirituales y la cantidad de bebidas alcohólicas por ocasión, lo que significa que a mayores creencias espirituales menor es la cantidad de bebidas alcohólicas consumidas por ocasión, lo que puede deberse a que quienes tienen mayores creencias espirituales tienden a conductas saludables, si bien consumen no lo hacen de forma riesgosa o dañina (17) . Así mismo se observó que existe correlación significativa entre las necesidades espirituales y el índice de consumo dañino lo que significa que a mayores necesidades espirituales mayor es el consumo dañino, lo que puede deberse a que la subescala de necesidades espirituales está centrada en el yo y solo hace referencia a la definición de preferencias y búsqueda de intereses personales, y no a las premisas espirituales como el buscar el bien del otro antes que el propio (18) .…”

Introducción: Los valores y la espiritualidad se han identificado como factores protectores que disminuyen el desarrollo de comportamientos riesgosos en los adolescentes como el consumo de alcohol. Objetivo: Identificar los valores y la espiritualidad en adolescentes de preparatoria y determinar la relación que existe entre los valores y la espiritualidad con el consumo de alcohol en adolescentes de preparatoria. Método: Se utilizó un diseño descriptivo correlacional. La población fue de 4728 estudiantes de una preparatoria del área metropolitana de Monterrey, Nuevo León. Se realizó un muestreo probabilístico estratificado unietápico, la muestra estuvo conformada por 317 sujetos inscritos. Las variables se evaluaron mediante el Cuestionario de Valores de Schwartz (VAL), el Cuestionario de Espiritualidad (CE) y el AUDIT. Resultados: Se encontró que el índice general de valores mostró una media de 70.4 (DE=11.1, Mdn= 70.54), el índice de espiritualidad mostró una media de 66.3 (DE=13.4, Mdn= 67.82). Se encontró correlación positiva y significativa entre las creencias espirituales y el índice de consumo dependiente de alcohol (rs = .181, p = .016), correlación negativa significativa entre las creencias espirituales y la cantidad de bebidas alcohólicas consumidas por ocasión (rs = -.117, p = .038) y correlación positiva y significativa entre las necesidades espirituales y el índice de consumo dañino (rs = .180, p = .017). Conclusiones: Los adolescentes que tienen mayores creencias espirituales y necesidades espirituales presentan mayor consumo de alcohol dependiente y dañino.Los adolescentes que presentan mayores creencias espirituales consumen menor cantidad de bebidas alcohólicas por ocasión

“…Religious activities have been investigated as well. For instance, religious chanting/singing and reading the sacred texts are associated with lower alcohol consumption in general [72]; however, it was alco reported that frequent prayer can aid alcohol consumption reduction for moderate drinkers but not heavy drinkers [66].…”

“…One's feelings toward religion and its importance in life may moderate the effects of religiosity. For instance, those who believed their religious heritage is prescriptive drank less alcohol and had stronger religious characteristics [72]. On the other hand, students who reported that religion played a minor role in their lives were more likely to have recently consumed alcohol [67].…”

Background: Excessive alcohol consumption has negative effects not only on the drinkers’ health but also on others around them. Previous studies suggest that excessive alcohol consumption can be related to a combination of factors such as age, family background, religiosity, etc. Investigating and clarifying these roots of alcohol consumption is crucial so that the right type of interventions can be designed in a specific and targeted manner. Objectives: This work was conducted as a systematic review to reveal the factors associated with alcohol consumption and to heighten the understanding of the differences among various communities and segments of the population regarding their usage of alcohol. Data sources: A systematic search of Web of Science, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar was performed. Results: Forty-five studies were included in the review after excluding irrelevant records and duplicates. Conclusions: Alcohol consumption patterns can be associated with several factors related to communities and individuals, and our review revealed demographic factors, including age and proximity to alcohol outlets, as well as social factors, including family background, socioeconomic background, and religious influence. These findings can be used to establish a guideline for further studies in understanding alcohol consumption patterns among individuals according to their personal characteristics and sociocultural backgrounds.
