ABSTRACT
Introduction: Alcohol consumption is particularly high in Latin America and the Caribbean. Studies conducted on drug prevention and use in high school students in Peru report it as a health problem.Objective: To determine the variables related to personal, family and social factors associated with alcohol consumption in adolescents from a private school in the district of Villa María del Triunfo, Lima, in 2016.
Material and Methods: Cross-sectional study with a sample of 194 adolescents, using a stratified random sampling where the strata were the study grades from the first to the fifth grades of secondary school. The information was collected by applying a structured questionnaire.
Results: Our results show that 47,4 % of schoolchildren consumed alcohol in the last year; with respect to the personal factor, the students who were offered alcoholic drinks were 11,84 (OR = 11,84; 95 % CI 5,31:26,4; p** <0,001) times more likely to consume an alcoholic beverage compared to the students who were not offered them. Regarding family factor, the students who did not have a sick family member at home were 2,21 (OR = 2,21; IC 95 % 1,11:4,36; p** <0,001) times more likely to consume alcoholic beverages compared to students who had a sick family member at home. The variables related to social factor were not risk factors.
Conclusions: Almost half of the adolescents consumed alcoholic beverages in the last year and according to the factors favoring consumption, the personal factor stands out in the first place, followed by relatives; the social factor was not associated with alcohol consumption.
