Objective: To calculate the cost assumed by society for having underaged individuals who do not study and provide care to dependent older adults.
Materials And Methods: The Mexican Health and Ageing Study (MHAS) 2015 was used to calculate the number of underage caregivers who do not attend school. The Household Income and Expenditure Survey (ENIGH) 2018 was used to estimate wage differences between populations of working age with complete elementary and complete high school education. Those differences were then converted to present value, added, and multiplied by the number of underage caregivers.
Results: The total annual cost of having underage caregivers who drop out of school adds to 1 112 179 210 pesos.
Conclusions: The topic concerning underage caregivers has not received enough attention from specialized literature, and there is still a large research gap in this area.

The aim of this study, based on health care and social learning theories, is to understand the degree of implementation and reach of the "Brief Anti-Alcohol Counseling in Pediatric Age" protocol, a preventive intervention addressing alcohol consumption among minors within the Health Service of the Principality of Asturias, Spain. Using a qualitative methodology, based on thirteen semi-structured interviews conducted in June 2022, the study analyzes the development of the protocol, the perceptions of pediatric service professionals regarding its implementation, and their cultural representations of alcohol consumption within the Asturian and Spanish context. The results reveal limited reach due to the heterogeneity in its application and the difficulty in measuring its impact compared to other areas of pediatric health.
