“…Our results regarding age were consistent with findings of studies which found a high-risk for drinking or a higher prevalence of regular use of alcohol in late than early adolescence (Jackson et al, 2014;Hagger-Johnson et al, 2013;Cable, & Sacker, 2008;Faeh et al, 2006).…”

Título: Prevalencia y factores de predicción de los consumos de alcohol y tabaco en la adolescencia: el papel de la condición de peso, de la condición clínica y de las dimensiones psicosociales Resumen: El objetivo de este estudio ha sido examinar la prevalencia de consumo de alcohol y tabaco en adolescentes (N = 370) con edades comprendidas entre 14 y 19 años en tres grupos: 205 adolescentes con peso normal, 82 adolescentes de la comunidad con el exceso de peso u obesidad, y 83 adolescentes con exceso de peso u obesidad y en el tratamiento ambulatorio para el control de peso. También se examinaron los roles de edad, género, peso, condición de tratamiento y las variables psicosociales (los sín-tomas psicopatológicos, el apoyo social y las habilidades emocionales) en la presencia de estos consumos. Nuestros principales hallazgos fueron que el grupo clínico de los adolescentes con sobrepeso tenían menos conductas de riesgo, que en el grupo de la comunidad de sobrepeso y los controles de peso normal, sobre todo para las conductas de riesgo relacionadas con el consumo de alcohol. La mayor edad y una menor satisfacción con la familia predijeron el consumo de tabaco. La mayor edad, la no asistencia a un tratamiento para el control del peso y una mayor satisfacción con las relaciones intimas predijeron el consumo de alcohol. El peso no fue un factor de predicción de consumo de alcohol y tabaco. Este estudio analiza las implicaciones teóricas y prácticas de estos hallazgos.

Abstract:The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of alcohol/tobacco consumption among adolescents (N = 370) aged 14 to 19 years in three groups: 205 adolescents with normal weight, 82 adolescents from the community with overweight or obesity, and 83 adolescents with overweight or obesity and in outpatient treatment for weight control. We also examined the roles of age, gender, weight, treatment condition, and psychosocial variables (psychopathological symptoms, social support, and emotional skills) in the presence of those risk behaviors. Our major findings were that the clinical group of overweight adolescents had fewer risk behaviors, than the overweight community group and the normal weight controls, particularly for risk behaviors related to alcohol use. The increase of age and lower satisfaction with family predicted tobacco consumption. The increase of age, not being integrated in a treatment for weight control and higher satisfaction with intimate relationships predicted alcohol consumption. Weight status was not a predictor of alcohol and cigarette use. This study discusses the theoretical and practical implications of these findings.

“…This group reported low, infrequent amounts of alcohol consumption. Moreover, individuals in this group were more likely to be younger in age (van Lettow et al, 2013) and female (Jackson et al, 2014;van Lettow et al, 2013) when compared to heavy drinkers. They were described as 'consciously sober' by Mathjssen et al, 2012 and were characterised as cautious, unadventurous and family orientated (Mathijssen et al, 2012).…”

“…Alcohol facilitates group interactions, meeting new people and feeling a sense of belonging in a group (Comasco et al, 2010;Demant & Törrönen, 2011;Jackson et al, 2014). Drinking for social reasons was a clear type of alcohol consumption among these young people (Comasco et al, 2010;Demant & Törrönen, 2011;Mathijssen et al, 2012;Reboussin et al, 2006;Steinhausen & Metzke, 2003;Stewart & Power, 2002).…”

“…Most studies reported light alcohol users along with young people who have only experimented or sipped alcohol (Cleveland et al, 2012;Craigs, Bewick, Gill, O'May, & Radley, 2012;Dauber et al, 2009;Demant & Törrönen, 2011;Jackson et al, 2014;Mathijssen et al, 2012;O'Connor & Colder, 2005;Percy & Iwaniec, 2007;Reboussin et al, 2006;Stewart & Power, 2002;van Lettow et al, 2013).…”

“…Problem alcohol users and the negative aspects associated with this type of alcohol use were described in eleven of the thirteen included studies (Cleveland et al, 2012;Comasco et al, 2010;Craigs et al, 2012;Dauber et al, 2009;Demant & Törrönen, 2011;Jackson et al, 2014;Mathijssen et al, 2012;Percy & Iwaniec, 2007;Reboussin et al, 2006;Stewart & Power, 2002;van Lettow et al, 2013). Problem alcohol users are described as individuals who reported solitary drinking, drinking in the morning, individuals who drink on a daily basis and those who report consuming alcohol and driving (Cleveland et al, 2012;Dauber et al, 2009;Stewart & Power, 2002).…”

Mexican-heritage youth are members of the fastest growing minority group and are at particular risk for substance use including alcohol consumption. Youth face numerous risk factors including positive descriptions of substance use on media and peer offers that are potentially ameliorated by parental anti-substance use socialization efforts. Guided by primary socialization theory and the theory of planned behavior, the present study posited eight research questions to identify discrete subgroups/patterns of Mexican-heritage youth alcohol use behavior and parental influence on youth outcomes. Longitudinal survey data (n = 1,147) from youth in 29 public schools located in Phoenix, Arizona were collected over three years. Latent class and transition analyses identified four discrete subgroups characterized by response patterns of alcohol use behaviors and perceptions in Mexican-heritage youth: 1) Non-drinker, 2) Potential drinker, 3) Experimenter, and 4) Regular drinker. Targeted parent-child communication about alcohol and parental monitoring were found to be significant predictors for youth alcohol use. Research implications and future directions are suggested.
