“…The other family factors considered showed either no effect or little effect in the overall sample. Similar results have recently been observed in Europe (Kokkevi et al 2007) and elsewhere (Bahr et al 2005), although most of the published studies from the United States and Anglo-Saxon countries show the importance of family factors, especially monitoring, permissiveness towards alcohol use, and parental drinking behaviors (Hayes et al 2004;Latendresse et al 2008;Livaudais et al 2007;NIAAA 1997;Shortt et al 2007;Wetherill and Fromme 2007;Windle et al 2008).…”

Adolescent drinking has an important health and social impact in many countries. In Spain, this behavior often takes place in groups and in open areas (known as "botellón"). The aim of this study is to describe the prevalence of excessive drinking among Spanish adolescents and its association with socialization and family factors. A national school survey was conducted in 2006 among 26,454 students aged 14-18 years who were selected by two-stage cluster sampling (schools and classrooms). The questionnaire was self-completed with paper and pencil. The outcomes were: habitual excessive drinking or HED (average consumption ≥30 g/day of alcohol among men, and ≥20 g/day among women), binge drinking (drinking 5 or more standard alcohol units in a 2-hour interval), and drunkenness. Logistic regression models were used to estimate the effect of socialization and family factors. Monthly prevalence of HED, binge drinking and drunkenness was 11.2%, 30.9% and 25.6%, respectively. The main factors positively associated with HED were: frequently going out for fun in the evenings, high proportion of friends who drink or get drunk, early onset of alcohol use, low perceived risk of drinking, truancy, illegal drug use, and amount of money spent for personal needs. Family factors were weakly associated with outcomes. Socialization in leisure environments with friends who drink excessively is an important predictor of adolescent excessive drinking in Spain. Thus, prevention must also focus on the community level, limiting alcohol access, building socialization environments without alcohol, and increasing adolescents' risk perception of drinking.

“…On the one hand, since adolescents use EMC primarily to interact and maintain relationships with already familiar offline peers (Kraut et al 2002;Subrahmanyam and Greenfield 2008), these associations may reflect already established associations between offline interactions and adolescent substance use (e.g., Chassin et al 2009;Kokkevi et al 2007; Kuntsche et al 2009a). On the other hand, there may be unique associations of EMC with adolescent substance.…”

“…Estos modelos multicausales, aunque asumen la existencia de diferencias entre unas sustancias y otras en sus consecuencias, resaltan la similitud en sus factores de riesgo (Hawkins, Catalano, y Miller, 1992;Kokkevi, Arapaki, Richardson, Florescu, Kuzman, y Stergar, 2007).…”

reSumenEl objetivo de este estudio fue identificar factores protectores y factores de riesgo asociados al consumo de alcohol en estudiantes universitarios de ambos sexos. Fueron medidos sobre la base de un estudio descriptivo y transversal realizado en el curso 2007-2008 en la Universidad de Huelva. Para el análisis de las relaciones entre variables se utilizó el test de chi-cuadrado de Pearson. Para identificar factores de riesgo y protectores se realizó un análisis de regresión logística binomial. Los resultados confirmaron la influencia del policonsumo como principal factor de riesgo, así como el sexo. De igual modo los "botellones", según mostraron los resultados, pierden poder predictivo respecto al consumo habitual, siendo los hábitos de lectura, la afición por la música y la edad factores protectores de este tipo de consumo. Finalmente, un bajo consumo de alcohol en el medio universitario, la asistencia frecuente a clase e inferiores niveles de consumo semanal de alcohol, se revelaron como factores protectores.Palabras clave: Consumo de alcohol.
