Objective:
Considering both burden of entering working life and engaging in adult roles in terms of being employed, working youth forms a specific group to be handled regarding alcohol use problems. In this study it was aimed to investigate prevalence and patterns of alcohol use among youth in apprenticeship schools in central Ankara.
Method:
A survey was done to investigate presence of alcohol use problems among students of five apprenticeship schools in Ankara using CAGE Questionnaire and a questionnaire form including more detailed questions about alcohol use.
Results:
Prevalence of life-time use of alcohol was 37.3% and prevalence of alcohol use more than once was 24.3%. Ten per cent of students with a history of alcohol use told that they went on drinking during last year. Proportion of students who continued drinking during the last year and getting at least 2+ score from CAGE was found as 4.5%.
Conclusion:
Prevalence of clinically significant alcohol use is quite high among working youth. Thus, in order to plan preventive measures, risk factors for alcohol use problems should be considered in detail in working youth.

Protection
It defines a protecting group as the masking agent to make the more reactive species inert to a given set of conditions. This concept is depicted via the illustration of liquid flow through different outlets in an assembly of pipes. The analogy helps to understand the role...
02:15Preparation of Alcohols via Addition Reactions
The acid-catalyzed addition of water to the double bond of alkenes is a large-scale industrial method used to synthesize low-molecular-weight alcohols. An acidic atmosphere is required to allow the hydrogen in the water molecule to act as an electrophile and attack the double bond in an alkene. The addition of a proton to the double bond creates a carbocation intermediate. The proton preferentially bonds to the less substituted end of the double bond to create a more stable carbocation...
02:23Alcohols from Carbonyl Compounds: Reduction
Catalytic hydrogenation is similar to the reduction of an alkene or alkyne by adding H2 across the pi bond in the presence of transition metal catalysts like Raney Ni, Pd–C, Pt, or Ru. Aldehydes and ketones can be reduced by this method, often under mild to moderate heat (25–100°C) and...
01:38Preparation of Alcohols via Substitution Reactions
Alcohols can be synthesized from alkyl halides via nucleophilic substitution reactions. The highly polar carbon-halogen bond in the substrate makes halide a good leaving group. The hydroxide ion or water can act as a nucleophile to take the place of halide and form an alcohol. The substitution reactions occur via two different reaction pathways, SN1 or SN2, depending on the nature of carbon attached to the halide.
Primary alcohols are synthesized from primary alkyl halides, and the...
