- Time trends for tobacco and alcohol use in youth-rated films popular in Mexico and Argentina, from 2004-2012 Inti Barrientos-Gutiérrez Raul Mejía Rosaura Pérez-Hernández Christy Kollath-Cattano Lorena Peña Paola Morello Edna Arillo-Santillán Sandra Braun James D Sargent James F Thrasher Salud youth tobacco alcohol global health motion pictures Objective . To examine and compare overall prevalence and time trends in tobacco and alcohol portrayals and brand ap- pearances in youth-rated US and nationally-produced films that were the most successful in Argentina and Mexico from 2004-2012. Materials and methods . Top-grossing nation- ally produced films from Argentina (n=73), Mexico (n=85) and the US (n=643) were content analyzed. Logistic regres - sion was used to determine differences between Mexican, Argentine and US produced films. Linear regression models assessed significant cross-country differences in the mean number of tobacco and alcohol seconds. Results . Films from Mexico and Argentina were more likely than US films to contain tobacco, (OR=4.2; p <0.001) and (OR=7.2; p <0.001). Alcohol was present in 93% of Argentine, 83% in Mexican and 83% US films. Conclusions . Smoking and alcohol were highly prevalent in nationally produced films. They may have a significant impact and should be targeted by policies to reduce youth exposure to portrayals of risk behaviors. 2017 artículo científico 0036-3634 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=10650518016 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=106 Salud Pública de México application/pdf Instituto Nacional de Salud Pública Salud Pública de México (México) Num.1 Vol.59
