To determine age and gender patterns of alcohol use among Croatian pupils and assess whether alcohol use was associated with factors related to school, peers, family, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Data were collected from the 2022 Health Behavior in School-aged Children cross-sectional study conducted in Croatia involving 5338 pupils. Pearson χ2 test and multivariate logistic regression were performed.
At the age of 11, boys were drinking alcohol more than girls (P<0.001), while 13- and 15-year-old girls aligned with boys. Lifetime alcohol use was positively associated with schoolwork pressure in 11-year-old girls (OR 3.28, CI 1.36-7.75) and boys (OR 1.87, CI 1.03-3.37). The COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected mental health in 13- (OR 2.21, 1.56-3.13) and 15-year-old girls (OR 1.50, CI 1.01-2.23), and life in 15-year-old boys (OR 1.83, 1.03-3.27). Recent alcohol use was positively associated with hospitalization of a close family member for COVID-19 in 11-year-old girls (OR 2.35, 1.05-5.28), low peer support in 13-year-old boys (OR 1.49, 1.01-2.20), difficult communication with father in 15-year-old girls (OR 1.49,1.05-2.12), negative COVID-19 impact on mental health in 13-year-old girls (OR 1.67,1.13-2.47), and negative COVID-19 impact on life in 15-year-old boys (OR 1.79, 1.08-2.98). Lifetime drunkenness was positively associated with negative COVID-19 impact on mental health in 13- (OR, 2.03,1.28-3.21) and 15-year-old girls (OR 2.12, 1.49-3.01), and with positive or neutral COVID-19 impact on life in 15-year-old girls (OR 0.65, 0.43-0.97).
Preventive activities should offer support systems to minimize the negative COVID-19 impact, with special attention to girls' needs.
确定克罗地亚学生饮酒的年龄和性别模式,并评估饮酒是否与学校、同伴、家庭及新冠疫情相关因素有关。
数据来自2022年在克罗地亚进行的学龄儿童健康行为横断面研究,涉及5338名学生。进行了Pearson χ2检验和多因素逻辑回归分析。
11岁时,男孩饮酒比女孩多(P<0.001),而13岁和15岁的女孩与男孩相当。终生饮酒与11岁女孩(比值比3.28,可信区间1.36 - 7.75)和男孩(比值比1.87,可信区间1.03 - 3.37)的学业压力呈正相关。新冠疫情对13岁(比值比2.21,1.56 - 3.13)和15岁女孩(比值比1.50,可信区间1.01 - 2.23)的心理健康产生负面影响,对15岁男孩的生活产生负面影响(比值比1.83,1.03 - 3.27)。近期饮酒与11岁女孩因新冠疫情导致亲密家庭成员住院呈正相关(比值比2.35,1.05 - 5.28),与13岁男孩同伴支持低呈正相关(比值比1.49,1.01 - 2.20),与15岁女孩与父亲沟通困难呈正相关(比值比1.49,1.05 - 2.12),与13岁女孩新冠疫情对心理健康的负面影响呈正相关(比值比1.67,1.13 - 2.47),与15岁男孩新冠疫情对生活的负面影响呈正相关(比值比1.79,1.08 - 2.98)。终生醉酒与13岁(比值比2.03,1.28 - 3.21)和15岁女孩新冠疫情对心理健康的负面影响呈正相关(比值比2.12,1.49 - 3.01),与15岁女孩新冠疫情对生活的正面或中性影响呈正相关(比值比0.65,0.43 - 0.97)。
预防活动应提供支持系统,以尽量减少新冠疫情的负面影响,特别关注女孩的需求。
