The Role of Personalized Normative Feedback in the Efficacy of Brief Intervention Among Argentinian University Students: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

: Personalized Normative Feedback (PNF) aims to modify misperceptions about peer consumption that influence one's drinking. PNF is usually a component in Brief Interventions delivered to university students. Despite this, whether PNF contributes to improving the effect of brief interventions is unclear.

Road traffic injury risk from alcohol and cannabis use among emergency department patients in Argentina.

Objective: To report the risk from alcohol, cannabis, and their combined use for non-fatal road traffic injuries for drivers, passengers, and pedestrians.

Methods: Risk was estimated using the case-crossover method. Participants (N= 306) were injured patients from an emergency department in Mar del Plata, Argentina.

Efficacy of Brief Intervention for Alcohol Consumption during Pregnancy in Argentinean Women: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Introduction: Although Brief Intervention (BI) has proven to reduce alcohol consumption during pregnancy in high income countries, there is no evidence from the Southern Cone of America. Thus, we conducted a study to assess BI efficacy among Argentinean pregnant women.

Method And Materials: We collected data on pregnant women receiving prenatal care at the public health system in Mar del Plata, Argentina.

A Multilevel Model of Alcohol Outlet Density, Individual Characteristics and Alcohol-Related Injury in Argentinean Young Adults.

Objectives: Previous research from high-income countries has consistently shown an association between alcohol-related harms and neighborhood characteristics such as alcohol outlet density, but this research has not been extended to middle- and low-income countries. We assessed the role of neighborhood characteristics such as alcohol outlet density, overcrowding and crime rates, and individual characteristics including gender, age, alcohol and marijuana use, and geographic mobility associated with alcohol-related injuries in university students in Argentina.

Methods: Data were collected from a randomized sample of students attending a national public university (n = 1346).

Alcohol industry, corporate social responsibility and country features in Latin America.

Introduction And Aims: Research on corporate behaviour can contribute to the understanding of the possible adverse impacts of alcohol-industry corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives and their potential influence on policymaking. This study explores the association between alcohol-industry CSR activities and selected country features in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Design And Methods: Nine health experts evaluated 148 CSR activities using a standardised protocol; activities were classified into the categories risk management CSR (rmCSR), that is, to avoid/rectify externalities (n = 67), and strategic CSR, that is, to fulfill philanthropic responsibilities (n = 81).
