OBJECTIVE To describe the patterns of alcohol consumption in Brazilian
adolescents. METHODS We investigated adolescents who participated in the Study of
Cardiovascular Risks in Adolescents (ERICA). This is a cross-sectional, national
and school-based study, which surveyed adolescents of 1,247 schools from 124
Brazilian municipalities. Participants answered a self-administered questionnaire
with a section on alcoholic beverages consumption. Measures of relative frequency
(prevalence), and their 95% confidence intervals, were estimated for the
following variables: use of alcohol beverages in the last 30 days, frequency of
use, number of glasses or doses consumed in the period, age of the first use of
alcohol, and most consumed type of drink. Data were estimated for country and
macro-region, sex, and age group. The module survey of the Stata program was used
for data analysis of complex sample. RESULTS We evaluated 74,589 adolescents, who
accounted for 72.9% of eligible students. About 1/5 of adolescents consumed
alcohol at least once in the last 30 days and about 2/3 in one or two occasions
during this period. Among the adolescents who consumed alcoholic beverages, 24.1%
drank it for the first time before being 12 years old, and the most common type
of alcoholic beverages consumed by them were drinks based on vodka, rum or
tequila, and beer. CONCLUSIONS There is a high prevalence of alcohol consumption
among adolescents, as well as their early onset of alcohol use. We also
identified a possible change in the preferred type of alcoholic beverages
compared with previous research.
