ABSTRACT
Background: the university career Socio-cultural Management for Development has accumulated an experience in prevention, through projects developed by students to enrich their work practice.Objective: to show the effectiveness of a health promotion project to reduce the consumption of alcoholic beverages in a population of adolescents at Caibarién municipality, applied by third year students of the Socio-cultural Management for Development.
Methods: a participatory action research was carried out, from September 2015 to July 2016, in “Marta Abreu” Central University of Las Villas. Theoretical methods were used: analysis-synthesis and induction-deduction; and empirical ones: survey and group techniques for the diagnosis of needs and the results of implementation of the project.
Results: it was found that the majority of the adolescents in the study group can be considered as social drinkers and have little knowledge and risk perception on alcoholism, so a health promotion project was designed and implemented to reduce the consumption of alcoholic beverages; once applied, the above criteria were modified and sensitization and awareness-raising manifestations were perceived facing up the harmful habit. For the university students involved in the project, it meant a different professional experience and strengthened their professional orientation.
Conclusions: the project implemented to reduce the consumption of alcoholic beverages, from the socio-cultural management was a successful experience for the adolescents involved as well as for the students of Socio-cultural Management for Development as their performers.
