Department of Developmental and Educational Psychology, Faculty of Psychology, University of Seville, C/ Camilo José Cela s/n, 41018 Seville, Spain.

Published: April 2015

Aim: The aim of the study was to examine, for female and male students separately, whether perceived quality of relationships with peers and parents and relations in school predict self-reported frequent drunkenness among Spanish adolescents.

Methods: The Spanish data from the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children Study (HBSC) 2010 survey were used including 1177 female and 1126 male students aged between 15 and 16 years.

Results: For both genders, students reporting low school satisfaction had increased odds of frequent drunkenness. Among females, low and medium levels of classmate support were associated with decreased odds of frequent drunkenness, whereas low perceived maternal knowledge as well as medium and low satisfaction with the family increased odds of being frequently drunk. The proportion of male students reporting medium satisfaction with friendships had significantly lower odds of frequent drunkenness compared with those with high level of satisfaction with friendships.

Conclusion: We found different associations between perceived quality of social relations and frequent drunkenness among male and female students. Results showed that social relations seemed to better predictors of frequent drunkenness among female than male students and that other factors than social relations may contribute to explain excessive alcohol use among Spanish adolescents.

The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of 14 to 18-year old adolescent health-related behaviours, overweight, chronic disease, family socioeconomic status (SES), and adulthood education level on the risk of high-energy traumas during the average 27-year follow-up in Finland.

Materials And Methods: The baseline data were surveys gathered biennially from 1981 to 1997 (the Adolescent Health and Lifestyle Survey) and individually linked with outcome data on high-energy traumas retrieved from the Care Register for Health Care until the year 2018.

Article Synopsis
  • Acute gastric dilatation (AGD) is a serious condition often linked to blockages or health issues like diabetes and eating disorders, and this report highlights a case involving a man who developed AGD after binge drinking.
  • The 46-year-old patient experienced severe vomiting and had a history of AGD due to excessive alcohol, and imaging confirmed gastric distension that improved with treatment.
  • This case emphasizes the need for healthcare providers to consider AGD in patients with vomiting after heavy drinking, as symptoms can easily be mistaken for other alcohol-related disorders.
