This study investigated the alcohol consumption of secondary education students and their relationship to school life and leisure time use with peers. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in March 2007, and the study population consisted of 14- to 19-year-old students living in an agricultural area of Crete. The final sample consisted of 117 individuals (response rate 90.0%). A short previously validated self-completion questionnaire was used collecting information on: personal and family characteristics; school progress; leisure time activities and relations with other adolescents; and alcohol consumption. Alcohol consumption differed significantly between male (75.5%) and female (25.8%) students (P < 0.001). Almost half of the participants (48.3%) reported alcohol consumption during nights out with friends. The mean grade for the previous year for students consuming alcohol was lower compared with those who did not, but the difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.066). Statistical evidence supported the hypothesis that students who consumed alcohol had more absences and this association was stronger for male students. The frequency of alcohol consumption was found to relate to the number of absences for both sexes. Male students who had been suspended from school were more likely to drink alcohol than those who had not been suspended. Statistical evidence also supported the hypotheses that students who spent their free time in cafeterias, bars or billiard halls were more likely to drink alcohol and also consume alcohol at higher frequencies than those that did not spend their free time this way (P = 0.002 and P < 0.001, respectively). More health education programmes and actions are needed at the national and local level to help students, families, schools, communities and the state better understand the real dimensions of the problem.
这项研究调查了中学生的饮酒情况及其与学校生活和与同伴休闲时间使用的关系。2007 年 3 月进行了横断面调查，研究人群为居住在克里特岛农业区的 14 至 19 岁学生。最终样本包括 117 人（应答率为 90.0%）。使用简短的、先前经过验证的自我完成问卷收集以下信息：个人和家庭特征；学业进展；休闲活动和与其他青少年的关系；以及饮酒情况。男生（75.5%）和女生（25.8%）的饮酒情况存在显著差异（P < 0.001）。几乎一半的参与者（48.3%）报告在与朋友外出过夜时饮酒。与不饮酒的学生相比，饮酒学生上一年的平均成绩较低，但差异无统计学意义（P = 0.066）。有统计学证据支持这样的假设，即饮酒的学生缺课更多，这种关联在男生中更强。饮酒的频率与两性的缺课次数有关。被学校停学的男生比未被停学的男生更有可能饮酒。有统计学证据还支持以下假设，即那些在咖啡馆、酒吧或台球厅度过闲暇时间的学生更有可能饮酒，而且比那些不这样度过闲暇时间的学生饮酒频率更高（分别为 P = 0.002 和 P < 0.001）。需要在国家和地方层面开展更多的健康教育计划和行动，以帮助学生、家庭、学校、社区和国家更好地了解问题的真实情况。
