| contents | An Intersectoral Intervention to Prevent Early Alcohol Use in Cuban Adolescents Justo R. Fabelo-Roche Serguei Iglesias-Moré Ana María Gómez-García Heydi Hernández-Domínguez Iovanny García-Enríquez Medicina Cuba attitudes prevention alcoholism Adolescents To encourage development of negative attitudes toward alcohol use and thus prevent early onset of alcohol use, an intersectoral intervention was conducted from 2014 to 2015 among Cuban adolescents in 14 schools in Havana. The intervention included 312 students (189 girls and 123 boys) aged 14 to 15 years in 10th grade of high school or vocational school. Workshops were conducted using participatory techniques and group dynamics. Qualitative methods were applied, including narrative, desiderative and projective techniques. Indicators included attitudes, motivation, interests and perception of risk. Following the intervention, 82.7% (258/312) of participants reported healthy cultural and recreational interests and 61.9% (193/312) reinforced negative attitudes toward drinking. Such interventions can help prevent early onset of alcohol use in school settings. Given the positive results, the intervention is slated to be reproduced in other Cuban provinces. 2016 artículo científico 1555-7960 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=437546762007 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4375 MEDICC Review application/pdf Medical Education Cooperation with Cuba MEDICC Review (Estados Unidos de América) Num.3 Vol.18 |
