Resumen

LOPEZ RAMIREZ, Mirtha; QUIRANTES MORENO, Alberto J  y  PEREZ MENDEZ, José Antonio. Screening of alcoholism in a health area. Rev Cubana Med Gen Integr [online]. 2006, vol.22, n.2. ISSN 0864-2125.

A retrospective and descriptive study was undertaken to characterize 173 consumers of alcoholic beverages that were categorized by the Inside the Neighbourhood Mission in the blocks of buildings I and P of Trapichito, Valencia, Carabobo State, Venezuela, from December 2003 to February 2004. All the individuals over 10 were studied to know whether they were alcohol drinkers or not. All the consumers were interviewed to search the following variables: age, sex, marital status, and the age they began to drink alcohol. Questionnaires applied at the international level were used for alcohol screening. It was concluded that most of the consumers were males under 40 that were married or had a concubine. Most of the drinkers began to consume alcohol before they were 20 years old, and they were classified as risk consumers according to the questionnaires used.

Palabras clave : Inside the Neighbourhood Mission; alcoholism; screening.
