| Abstract (English): |
Hazardous alcohol use (HAU) is a matter of significant academic and public health concern. This study sought to explore factors associated with HAU among emerging adult students enrolled in public institutions offering evening secondary education in Santa Marta, Colombia. A cross-sectional design was employed with 361 secondary school students, in whom religiosity, knowledge about mental health, and HAU were assessed. Having paid employment (OR = 2.95; 95% CI 1.61–5.39) and Catholic religious affiliation (OR = 2.34; 95% CI 1.30–4.22) significantly increased the risk of HAU. Hazardous alcohol use among emerging adults attending evening secondary school was significantly associated with employment status and Catholic religious affiliation. These findings reinforce the influence of cultural and social factors in risk prevention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |

El consumo abusivo de alcohol (CAA) es un tema de preocupación académica y de salud pública. La investigación se enfocó en explorar algunos factores asociados al CAA en adultos emergentes, estudiantes de instituciones públicas con jornada nocturna en Santa Marta, Colombia. Al respecto, se realizó un estudio transversal con 361 estudiantes de secundaria, en quienes se evaluaron la religiosidad, el conocimiento sobre la salud mental y el CAA. El tener empleo (OR = 2,95; IC95 % 1,61-5,39) y la afiliación religiosa católica (OR = 2,34; IC95 % 1,30-4,22) incrementaron significativamente el riesgo de CAA. El CAA en los adultos emergentes que cursan bachillerato nocturno se asocia significativamente con tener empleo y la filiación religiosa católica. Estos hallazgos reafirman la influencia de factores culturales y sociales en la prevención del riesgo. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
