Abstract
|
|
|
Objective: The purpose of this study is to examine to what extent social environmental factors including socio-demographic characteristics, parents, friends, studying, and times spent with parents, friends and learning are related to adolescent alcohol use.
Methods: Data are based on a survey of middle school and high school students in Seoul, who completed questionnaires in their schools.
Results: The proportion of alcohol use experience was 53.8% for middle school and high school students. The adolescents’ use of alcohol was associated with being older, having more friends who drink, spending more time on playing with friends, getting lower grades in schools, and spending less time on studying.
Conclusion: It is necessary for future studies to systematically investigate influences of friends and patterns of time use for a better understanding of adolescent alcohol use.
