The aim of this study is to detect alcoholism problems among the young population, using the CAGE test.
Transversal descriptive study. SITE. Work developed with high school students (BUP and COU) from a rural context in Aragón.
Random sample of 1,012 students, ordered by gender and academic course (57.9% female, age average 16 +/- 1.3 years old).
The CAGE test was answered in written and anonymous way.
368 students (36.5%) obtained scores. 1. Among them, 159 (15.7%) scored 2. The prevalence of alcoholism was greater in male students (p = 0.01). The test shows false positivity in 7 sober people. Youngsters with high scores presented higher risk of suffering a traffic accident (p = 0.001).
Because of the psychological peculiarities of the teenagers CAGE test might have some reliability disturbances. In any case, the results show the existence of an important number of young people in the rural site with problems related to alcohol (although not necessarily linked to physical dependence.
本研究旨在通过CAGE测试检测青年人群中的酗酒问题。
横断面描述性研究。地点：在阿拉贡农村地区针对高中生（职业培训学校和综合中学）开展的工作。
1012名学生的随机样本，按性别和年级排序（女性占57.9%，平均年龄16±1.3岁）。
以书面且匿名的方式进行CAGE测试。
368名学生（36.5%）得分。其中，159名（15.7%）得分为2分。男性学生中的酗酒患病率更高（p = 0.01）。该测试在7名清醒者中显示出假阳性。得分高的青少年发生交通事故的风险更高（p = 0.001）。
由于青少年的心理特点，CAGE测试可能存在一些可靠性干扰。无论如何，结果表明在农村地区存在相当数量的年轻人有与酒精相关的问题（尽管不一定与身体依赖有关）。
