INTRODUCTION: The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and factors associated with alcohol use in a high school in the Middle Guinea region in West Africa.
METHODS: An analytical cross-sectional study involving 342 high school students was conducted in November 2019 at the Mali centre high school. A questionnaire adapted from the standardised questionnaire validated by the World Health Organization as part of the Global Student Health Surveys was used for data collection. Students were asked about their alcohol use in the 30 days preceding the survey. Using logistic regression, we performed a multivariate analysis that controlled for independent variables to identify factors associated with alcohol use.
RESULTS: The age range was 14-27 years. The prevalence of alcohol consumption was 12.28% (95% confidence interval [CI] 8.80, 16.10). Note that 89.80% of the sample studied did not know of any harmful effects of alcohol on health. In a multivariate analysis, we showed that alcohol use was associated with tobacco use (adjusted odds ratio 24.82, 95% CI 20.73, 26.30) and having close friends who also consume alcohol (adjusted odds ratio 4.16, 95% CI 3.63, 6.37).
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: The substantial prevalence of alcohol use, the high proportion of ignorance of the harmful effects of alcohol, and the reasons for the initial motivation for alcohol use found in this study should attract the attention of stakeholders. An action plan based on the two factors associated found could fight alcohol use at Mali centre high school.
