| Abstract (English): | The study aimed to analyze the current panorama of alcohol consumption in Peru, assess its impact on public health, and identify effective prevention and treatment strategies. The methodology was descriptive, analytical, and exploratory, utilizing documentary and statistical analysis of secondary sources. Among the main conclusions, it was observed that alcohol consumption continues to present high rates compared to other drugs and exhibits a different pattern compared to previous decades. Consumption has increased more among adolescents and in the female population, associated with violent behaviors, and has become one of the major mental health issues. Peruvian state strategies and private offerings have increased to meet the demands related to alcohol use; however, significant gaps remain in addressing this problem. This challenges the state, various social actors, and academia to train addiction specialists to develop specialized and validated programs for the prevention and intervention of alcohol use and abuse. Furthermore, it is crucial to systematize experiences with the aim of validating intervention programs, contributing with scientific and evidence-based strategies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): | El estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar el panorama actual del consumo de alcohol en Perú, evaluar el impacto en la salud pública y conocer las estrategias efectivas de prevención y tratamiento. Respecto a la metodología, fue de tipo descriptivo, analítico y exploratorio, utilizando análisis documental y estadístico de fuentes secundarias. Entre las principales conclusiones se observó que el consumo del alcohol sigue presentando índices altos comparado a otras drogas y presentando un comportamiento distinto comparado a décadas atrás, ya que el consumo se ha incrementado más en adolescentes y en el sexo femenino, asociándose a conductas violentas y convirtiéndose en uno de los grandes problemas de salud mental. Las estrategias del Estado peruano y las ofertas privadas se han incrementado para atender las demandas relacionadas al uso del alcohol. Sin embargo, quedan grandes brechas para afrontar esta problemática, lo que compromete al Estado, los diversos actores sociales y a la academia en la formación de especialistas en adicciones para desarrollar programas especializados y validados para la prevención e intervención del uso y abuso del alcohol, así como, en sistematizar las experiencias con miras a la validación de los programas de intervención contribuyendo con estrategias científicas y basados en evidencia.

As estratégias do estado peruano e as ofertas privadas têm aumentado para atender às demandas relacionadas ao uso do álcool; no entanto, ainda persistem grandes lacunas para enfrentar essa problemática. Isto compromete o estado, os diversos atores sociais e a academia na formação de especialistas em dependências químicas para desenvolver programas especializados e validados para a prevenção e intervenção do uso e abuso do álcool, bem como na sistematização das experiências com vistas à validação dos programas de intervenção, contribuindo com estratégias científicas e baseadas em evidências.
