Resumen
Objetivo: Debido al aumento en el consumo de alcohol entre la población juvenil y los potenciales riesgos físicos y mentales que esta situación provoca, este trabajo analiza los factores que condicionan el consumo excesivo de alcohol en adolescentes de 13 a 17 años en Argentina. Materiales y métodos: Se utilizan datos de la Encuesta Mundial de Salud Escolar, aplicada a una muestra representativa de 56,981 adolescentes en todo el país en 2018. Se estiman modelos logísticos que toman en cuenta el rol de factores personales, socioeconómicos, psicológicos y situacionales A la vez, se analiza el impacto que el consumo excesivo de alcohol tiene sobre conductas de riesgo y sobre daños sufridos por adolescentes. Resultados: Se observó un incremento en el consumo de alcohol entre adolescentes, con una mayor incidencia en mujeres. Los factores situacionales, como la disponibilidad de alcohol y la presión de pares, son determinantes clave. Existe una fuerte asociación entre el consumo excesivo de alcohol y las conductas de riesgo, así como un aumento en los daños sufridos por los adolescentes.Conclusiones: Se subraya la necesidad de implementar medidas reguladoras y protectoras específicas. La importancia de estrategias integrales de prevención y educación es destacada, enfocándose en los factores situacionales y sociales. Las intervenciones deben involucrar a familia, escuela y comunidad para reducir los riesgos y promover comportamientos saludables
Objectives: Given the increase in alcohol consumption in the youth population and the potential physical and mental risks that this situation causes, this work analyzes the conditioning factors of excessive alcohol consumption in the population between 13 and 17 years of age in Argentina. Materials and Methods: We use data from the World Survey of School Health, applied to a representative sample of 56,981 adolescents throughout the country in 2018. We estimate logistic regressions to identify conditional variables that influence the abusive intake of alcohol. Those factors include personal, socioeconomic, psychological, and situational independent variables. Results: An increase in alcohol consumption among adolescents has been observed, with a higher incidence among females. Situational factors, such as the availability of alcohol and peer pressure, are key determinants. There is a strong association between excessive alcohol consumption and risky behaviors, as well as an increase in the harms experienced by adolescents. Conclusions: The need to implement specific regulatory and protective measures is emphasized. The importance of comprehensive prevention and education strategies is highlighted, focusing on situational and social factors. Interventions should involve family, school, and community to reduce risks and promote healthy behaviors.
