ABSTRACT
Alcoholism is universally accepted as one of the main public health problems throughout the world and represents a serious threat to the well-being and life of humanity, endangering both individual and social development. With the objective of assessing the risk of alcoholism in the ninth grade students of ESBU Vicente Quesada, a quantitative, prospective and descriptive study was conducted from September 2016 to July 2017. The most frequent age among at-risk students is 14 to 15 years, with a predominance of males. The school grade with the highest risk is ninth, 6 females (23.1 %) and 20 males (76.9 %), the family functionality is represented by extended families with 19 patients (47.4 %), the average family income predominates with the highest percentage among nuclear families, as well as inappropriate behaviour in more than three quarters of these patients and within these the risky previous consumption.
