“…However, the study from Campinas showed that gender was no longer significant after the adjustment for other variables, associating the following factors with higher alcohol consumption: young age, high income, low schooling, non-evangelical religion and use of illicit drugs 15 . The data related to higher consumption rates among men are in accordance with the international literature [19][20][21] . Some characteristics that are specific to each location may explain these differences, besides the difference of time between studies: Salvador has a coast, and Rio Grande has a broad rural area, which may justify the higher consumption among men, unlike Campinas, that has a lot of students due to its university.…”

Objective: To estimate the prevalence of alcohol consumption, identify the associated sociodemographic characteristics in 2006, and evaluate consumption trends from 2006 to 2009. Methods: We evaluated 54,369 adults living in the 26 Brazilian state capitals and the Federal District. Usual consumption was related to drinking at least one dose of alcohol in the past 30 days, and binge consumption meant 5 or more doses for men and 4 or more for women at least once in the past 30 days. Results: The usual consumers represented 38.1% of the studied population and the binge drinkers were 16.2%; both frequencies were higher among men than women. The variables associated to the usual and abusive alcohol consumption were age, marital status and insertion in the job market for both genders and skin color for women. Schooling was only associated for usual consumers. Conclusion: The trend of abusive alcohol consumption increased in both genders. Data endorse the need for national public policies aiming to prevent the abusive consumption of alcohol, mainly among the youngest.

“…22 A survey conducted in 10 Brazilian capitals found that the frequent use of alcohol (six or more times per month) in students aged 10 to 18 years increased from 9.2%, in 1987, to 15%, in 1997. 9 Although the literature points out that single, divorced, or widowed people generally consume more alcohol, 2,11,17,25 the present study did not fi nd any association between marital status and alcoholism.…”

“…The higher frequency of alcohol abuse among men found in the present study is entirely consistent with that reported in the literature. 7,11,17 The frequency was higher among young adults aged 14-39 years and lower among those aged 60 years or more. Other studies also point towards the reduction of alcohol abuse after 55 or 65 years of age.…”

OBJECTIVE:To estimate the prevalence of alcohol abuse/dependence and identify associated factors among demographic, family, socioeconomic and mental health variables. METHODS:A household survey was carried out in the urban area of Campinas, southeastern Brazil, in 2003. A total of 515 subjects, aged 14 years or more were randomly selected using a stratifi ed cluster sample. The Self-Report Questionnaire and the Alcohol Use Disorder Identifi cation Test were used in the interview. Prevalences were calculated, and univariate and multivariate logistic analyses performed by estimating odds ratios and 95% confi dence intervals. RESULTS:The estimated prevalence of alcohol abuse/dependence was 13.1% (95% CI: 8.4;19.9) in men and 4.1% (95% CI: 1.9;8.6) in women. In the fi nal multiple logistic regression model, alcohol abuse/dependence was signifi cantly associated with age, income, schooling, religion and illicit drug use. The adjusted odds ratios were signifi cantly higher in following variables: income between 2,501 and 10,000 dollars (OR=10.29); income above 10,000 dollars (OR=10.20); less than 12 years of schooling (OR=13.42); no religion (OR=9.16) or religion other than Evangelical (OR=4.77); and illicit drug use during lifetime (OR=4.47). Alcohol abuse and dependence patterns were different according to age group. CONCLUSIONS:There is a signifi cantly high prevalence of alcohol abuse/ dependence in this population. The knowledge of factors associated with alcohol abuse, and differences in consumption patterns should be taken into account in the development of harm reduction strategies.
