| Abstract (English): |
Studies in Colombia depict a downward trend in the use of alcohol and tobacco; however, the beginning of their consumption in childhood multiplies the risk of dependence other diseases and injuries. Therefore, obtaining evidence about factors that reduce the likelihood of alcohol and cigarette consumption is the basis of evidence-based prevention. Hence, the association between alcohol and cigarette consumption with risk perception and normative influence was estimated through a cross-sectional study in a sample of 4,071 adolescent students between 12 and 18 years old, linked to a prevention program. The results of the study showed that there is a significant association between the perception of risk and the normative influence, with the intention of consumption of alcohol and cigarettes and the consumption of cigarettes in the last month. This association was not confirmed by multivariate analysis in all subgroups of adolescents. In any case, these factors must be integrated into a broader analytical context to achieve better preventive interventions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): |
Los estudios en Colombia muestran una tendencia al descenso en el uso de alcohol y tabaco. Sin embargo, el inicio de su consumo en la niñez multiplica el riesgo de dependencia de otras enfermedades y lesiones. Por lo anterior, identificar los factores que disminuyan la probabilidad del consumo de alcohol y cigarrillos, constituye el fundamento de la prevención con base en evidencia. Siguiendo esta línea, se estimó la asociación entre el consumo de alcohol y cigarrillos con la percepción de riesgo y la influencia normativa mediante un estudio de corte transversal en una muestra de 4.071 estudiantes adolescentes entre 12 y 18 años, como parte de la evaluación de un programa de prevención. Los resultados del estudio mostraron que hay una asociación significativa entre la percepción de riesgo y la influencia normativa, con la intención de consumo de alcohol y cigarrillos y el consumo de cigarrillos en el último mes. Esta asociación no fue confirmada por el análisis multivariado en todos los subgrupos de adolescentes. En todo caso, estos factores deben integrarse en un contexto analítico más amplio para lograr mejores intervenciones preventivas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
