“…These results suggest that regulations related with alcohol alone are insufficient and education programs for children and families should be conducted in order to delay the age of alcohol inititation in children and adolescents. In this study, it was observed that the rate of being drunk (31.6%) was higher compared to the rate found in high school students in Istanbul in 2000 (19) and the rate found in high school students in Samsun in 2008 (10.41%) (11,14). In both studies, the rate of the students who got drunk increased as the grade got older similar to the results of our study (11,14).…”

In the "Health Behaviour in School-aged Children Study" 2009/2010, the rate of having been drunk for at least two times in the 15-year age group was found to range between 8% (Macedonia, girls) and 57% (Lithuania, boys) (mean: 32%) (9).…”

“…It was observed that the rate of having experimented an alcoholic beverage was lower compared to the rate found in high school students in Istanbul (61%) and higher compared to the rate found in high school students in Samsun in 2008 (26.07%) (11,14). In a research study reviewing the studies which investigated the frequencies of consumption of alcohol in adolescents below the age of 18 years in Turkey, it was reported that the frequency of lifelong consumption of alcohol ranged between 4.4% and 65%, whereas the frequencies of consuming alcohol currently were reported to range between 6.5% and 42% in different studies conducted in different provinces in Turkey with adolescents at different ages (11,14,19,21,26,27). In this study, the rate of having experimented an alcoholic beverage was found to be lower compared to the rate found in high school students in USA in 2013 (66.2), but the fact that the rate of having drunk an alcoholic beverage at least for once in the last one month was higher compared to the rate found in USA (34.9%) draws attention to this problem (22).…”

“…In studies conducted in different provinces with adolescents at different ages in Turkey, the rate of having experimented smoking has been reported to range between 24.4% and 50% (10)(11)(12)(13)(14), the rate of smoking at the present time has been reported to range between 6.9% and 24.27% (10-21) and this behaviors have been reported with higher rates in boys (10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)20). Although the frequency of having experimented smoking was markedly lower in this study compared to the study conducted in 2013 in the United States of America (USA) with high-school students (41.1%), it was notable that the frequencies of having smoked in the last 30 days and having smoked regularly in the last 30 days were higher (15.7% and 5.6%, respectively) compared to the frequencies found in USA (22).…”

ÖzHalk sağlığı alanında yapılan araştırmaların alkol kontrol politikalarını yönlendirmek amacı taşımaları, bu alanla ilgili sorunları tanımlayarak dikkati gerekli noktalara çekmeleri ve çözüme ışık tutucu bilgiler sağlamaları önemlidir. Gençlerde alkollü içecek kullanımına başlamayı geciktirmenin sağlık ve sosyal gelişim üzerinde olumlu etkileri olduğu kabul edilmektedir. Çalışmamız alkol tüketimi ile ilgili 18 ve altı yaş grubunda yapılan araştırmalardan elde edilen bilgilerin, alkol kontrol politikalarını yönlendirme konusundaki yeterliliğini araştırmak ve böylece gelecekte yapılacak araştırmaları yönlendirmek amacındadır. Literatürde alkol tüketimini de içeren zararlı alışkanlıklarla ilgili pek çok kesitsel okul çalışmasının sonuçlarının rapor edildiğini tespit ettik.Bu kapsamda alkol kullanımının sorulduğu ve dâhil edilme kriterlerine uyan 28 bilimsel makale ve 1 raporu inceledik. Bu araştırmalarda yaşam boyu alkol kullanım sıklığı farklı yaş gruplarında %4,4 ila %65,0 arasında rapor edilmişti. Genç yaş grubunda alkol kullanımı konusunda yapılacak araştırma sonuçlarının karşılaştırılabilir olması coğrafi farklılıkların tespiti ve zaman içindeki değişimlerin izlenmesi açısından önemlidir. Alkole başlamayı, riskli kullanımı ve tüketimi sürdürmeyi etkileyen bireysel ve toplumsal faktörlerin derinlemesine araştırılması bu yaş grubu nüfus için uygun politikaların geliştirilmesine destek olacaktır. A D D I C TA : T H E T U R K I S H J O U R N A L O N A D D I C T I O N S 86Alkolün belirli miktar üzerinde tüketiminin 60 kadar akut ve kronik sağlık sorunuyla ilişkili olduğu bilimsel araştırmalarda gösterilmiştir (Gutjahr, Gmel ve Rehm, 2001). Ayrıca, bir seferde fazla miktarda alınan alkol riskli davranışlara, bunun sonucunda da trafik kazalarına, şiddet olaylarına ve sosyal sorunlara yol açabilir (Babor ve ark., 2010). Bu özelliğiyle alkol, sigaradan çok uyuşturucu maddelerle benzeşir.Türkiye'de kişi başına düşen alkol kullanımı yılda ortalama 1,4 litre saf alkol olarak hesaplanmıştır. Bu rakam Avrupa ülkelerine ait değerlerin altında olmakla beraber, analiz yalnızca alkollü içecek kullananlar arasında yapıldığında kişi başına düşen saf alkol miktarı alkol tüketiminin yüksek olduğu bazı ül-kelerden, örneğin İngiltere' den, daha fazladır (WHO, 2014; WHO Europe, 2014 (Sağlık Bakanlığı, 2006a, 2006b).Etkin toplumsal politikaların geliştirilmesi ve uygulamaya konulması ile toplumda alkollü içecek kullanımından doğan sosyal problemlerin ve sağlık sorunlarının önlenmesi mümkün olacaktır (Anderson, Chisholm ve Fuhr, 2009; Babor ve ark., 2010; Brand, Saisana, Rynn, Pennoni ve Lowenfels, 2007; Paschall, Grube ve Kypri, 2009). Araştırmalar, Halk Sağlığı sorunlarına yönelik politikaların geliştirilebilmesi için karar vericilerin sorunların toplumdaki önemi ve ön-lenebilirliği konularında sürekli bilgilendirilmelerinin önemine işaret etmektedir (Anderson ve ark., 2005). Politika geliştirme alanında önderliğiyle bilinen Harold Lasswell, araştırmaların "politika odaklı" yapılmasına olan gereksinimi vurgulamış ve "politika od...

Smoking and alcohol drinking in adolescents cause significant problems in most countries. The aim of this cross-sectional descriptive study was to determine the prevalence, causes, risk factors, and preventive factors for cigarette and alcohol use in adolescents. The sample included 1,133 students enrolled in grades 9-12. Data were collected using a descriptive data form, the Psychological Resilience and Adolescent Development Scale, and the Family Environment Scale. Most adolescents stated that stress and psychological problems were the causes of smoking and alcohol use. Preventive factors were indicated as developing skills for saying "no," good coping skills, and peer groups not using cigarettes. The Psychological Resilience and Adolescent Development Scale mean score for cigarette and alcohol use was significantly higher than for nonuse. The Family Environment Scale mean score for cigarette and alcohol use was significantly lower than for nonuse.
