Cumulative risk factors for adolescent alcohol misuse and its perceived consequences among 16 to 20 year old adolescents in Switzerland.

AIMS: To assess the cumulative impact of environmental and individual factors associated with adolescent alcohol misuse and their correlation with self-reported consequences of drinking. METHOD: Cross-sectional school-based survey of a nationally representative sample of 7548 post-mandatory school students and apprentices aged 16-20 years, Switzerland 2002. Alcohol misuse defined by frequency of alcohol use, episodes of drunkenness and driving while drunk. RESULTS: Fifteen significant risk factors were identified among both boys, and girls. An individual score of cumulated risk factors was created by adding the risk factors. The association between the score and the likelihood of being engaged in alcohol misuse was highly significant and dose-dependent (p<.001). A significant proportion of adolescents report perceived adverse consequences of their alcohol consumption. A linear trend (p<.001) was found between the score of risk factors and the proportion of respondents reporting problems related to drinking such as diminished school performance, physical hazard, relational problems and current risky sexual behavior. CONCLUSION: Risk factors for adolescent alcohol misuse are cumulative and can be synthesized into an individual score correlated with the likeliness of misuse. A further indication of the validity of this score is its linear relationship with self-reported problems related to drinking.

Influência da calagem no rendimento de matéria seca de plantas de cobertura e adubação verde, em casa de vegetação

A recuperação de solos degradados é lenta e onerosa. Plantas de cobertura de solo e adubação verde têm sido amplamente utilizadas nesse processo de recuperação, pois promovem alta produção de fitomassa com baixo custo, especialmente se forem tolerantes à acidez. O presente trabalho objetivou avaliar o efeito da calagem no rendimento de matéria seca de dezesseis dessas espécies, em casa de vegetação. Oito espécies de inverno (Lollium multiflorum, Avena strigosa, Lathyrus sativus, Lupinus angustifolius, Pisum sativum, Secale cereale, Vicia sativa e Vicia villosa) e oito de verão (Stizolobium niveum, Stizolobium aterrinum, Stizolobium deeringianum, Crotalaria juncea, Crotalaria retusa, Crotalaria spectabilis, Cajanus cajan e Canavalia ensiformes) foram cultivadas em amostras da camada arável de dois solos ácidos catarinenses (Latossoso Bruno e Cambissolo Húmico), em Lages (SC), em 1997. Os tratamentos consistiram da aplicação de doses de calcário equivalentes a 0, 0,25, 0,50, 1,00 e 1,50 vezes a quantidade recomendada pelo método SMP para elevar o pH dos solos a 6,0. Os valores de Ca e Mg trocáveis aumentaram linearmente com a calagem e na mesma magnitude, ao redor de 3,0 mmol c kg-1 para cada incremento de 0,1 unidade de pH. O efeito da calagem no rendimento de matéria seca variou com o solo e, principalmente, com a espécie. Dez das 16 espécies não apresentaram aumento no rendimento de matéria seca com o aumento do pH, em pelo menos um dos solos, e somente cinco espécies responderam à calagem de forma semelhante nos dois solos. O pH no qual as espécies tiveram a produção máxima de matéria seca foi igual ou inferior a 5,5 em qualquer dos solos e foi normalmente menor no Cambissolo do que no Latossolo, provavelmente pelo efeito benéfico da matéria orgânica em minimizar a toxidez do Al. Essas espécies podem, portanto, ser cultivadas com sucesso como melhoradoras das propriedades físicas, químicas e biológicas de solos ácidos degradados e requerem, para a produção máxima, menos calcário do que as doses atualmente recomendadas para a região.

Housewife or working mum--each to her own? The relevance of societal factors in the association between social roles and alcohol use among mothers in 16 industrialized countries.

Aims To investigate whether differences in gender-income equity at country level explain national differences in the links between alcohol use, and the combination of motherhood and paid labour. Design Cross-sectional data in 16 established market economies participating in the Gender, Alcohol and Culture: An International Study (GenACIS) study. Setting Population surveys. Participants A total of 12 454 mothers (aged 25-49 years). Measurements Alcohol use was assessed as the quantity per drinking day. Paid labour, having a partner, gender-income ratio at country level and the interaction between individual and country characteristics were regressed on alcohol consumed per drinking day using multi-level modelling. Findings Mothers with a partner who were in paid labour reported consuming more alcohol on drinking days than partnered housewives. In countries with high gender-income equity, mothers with a partner who were in paid labour drank less alcohol per occasion, while alcohol use was higher among working partnered mothers living in countries with lower income equity. Conclusion In countries which facilitate working mothers, daily alcohol use decreases as female social roles increase; in contrast, in countries where there are fewer incentives for mothers to remain in work, the protective effect of being a working mother (with partner) on alcohol use is weaker. These data suggest that a country's investment in measures to improve the compatibility of motherhood and paid labour may reduce women's alcohol use.
