Factors associated with alcohol consumption in nursing students from Sinaloa.
Abstract
The consumption of legal substances such as alcohol represents a public health problem with a high economic impact, affecting the physical, psychological and social state of the person who practices it; adolescents replicate the patterns of the adults with whom they live regularly and increase their consumption at increasingly younger ages. A quantitative, cross-sectional, prospective, and observational research was developed with a simple random sampling of 72 Nursing students, with the aim of identifying factors associated with alcohol consumption through the application of the AUDIT questionnaire, in addition to evidencing the relationship with school grade, age and sex.
