SALAZAR GARCIA, MARTHA LETICIA; VALDEZ RUIZ, JOSÉ FÉLIX; MARTINEZ MARTINEZ, KALINA ISELA y PEDROZA CABRERA, FRANCISCO JAVIER. Brief interventions with adolescent rural students who drink alcohol in excess. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2011, vol.10, n.3, pp.803-815. ISSN 1657-9267.
Due to the lack of programs designed to prevent and treat problems related to alcohol consumption in adolescents in rural communities, two brief intervention modalities were evaluated: a) a brief program with five sessions and, b) a brief advice session. During the first stage, an exploratory study was undertaken, on the basis of which a descriptive chart of alcohol consumption among adolescents in three rural communities was obtained, while in the second stage, comparison groups were designed to determine the effects of both interventions on consumption patterns and other psychosocial variables in a sample of 24 rural adolescents of the state of Aguascalientes, Mexico. The conclusion was that both interventions are effective in working with rural adolescent alcohol users.
