ABSTRACT

Alcoholism is the most important drug addiction of our time. Teaching adolescents about alcoholism and its unfavorable consequences, is a way to promote the perception of risk and contribute to the prevention of this disease. With the objective of modifying the perception of the risk of alcoholism and its consequences, a study of quasi-experimental educational intervention was conducted in adolescents of the Jesús Menéndez de Bayamo, Granma, 2015-2017. We worked with a sample of 180 adolescents from 15 to 19 years of age. Variables studied: independent (educational intervention) and dependent (perception of risk of alcoholism and its consequences for the organism, the family and social environment). The research was carried out in four stages: diagnosis, design and validation, application and evaluation. Theoretical, empirical and statistical methods were used. As summary measures, the absolute and relative frequencies were used, and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to determine the existence of statistically significant differences before and after the intervention, with a level of significance of 5%, calculated with the aid of the professional statistical program SPSS 22.0 for Windows. Initially, the low level of knowledge (55.6%), inadequate beliefs about harmful consumption of alcohol (86.7%) and low perception of risk (55.6%) predominated. After the intervention, most adolescents had improved knowledge, beliefs and risk perception, with statistically significant differences that showed that the results were due to educational work and not to chance
