Asociación entre consumo de cigarrillo, alcohol y sustancias ilegales en adolescentes estudiantes en Cartagena, Colombia, 2012.

Abstract

Objective: To establish the relationship between cigarette smoking during the previous month to the study,  abusive alcohol consumption and illegal substance use among adolescent students from Cartagena,  Colombia. Method: A cross-sectional analytical study was carried out in which students, aged between 13  and 17 years old participated. The relationship between cigarette smoking the previous month to the study  and abusive alcohol consumption and illegal substance use sometime during their lives was estimated.  Results: A total of 1,730 students participated in the research; the mean age was 14.7 years (SD = 1.2), and  52.7% of participants were girls. Eighty seven students (5.0%) reported previous month to the study cigarette  smoking; 180 (10.4%), abusive alcohol consumption; and 140 (8.1%), illegal substance use sometime during  their lives. After adjusting the research by sex, cigarette smoking the previous month to the study was  associated with abusive alcohol consumption (OR = 3.41; 95% CI 2.06-5.65) and illegal substance use  sometime during their lives (OR = 4.99; 95% CI 3.00- 8.29). Conclusions: Cigarette smoking in the previous  month to the study is associated with abusive alcohol consumption and use of some illegal substance  sometimes during their lives among adolescent students from Cartagena, Colombia. Comprehensive  prevention of substance use in adolescent students is needed.
