Purpose:
To determine the predictors of alcohol use (AU) and their relationship to physical activity (PA) among adolescents and to examine differences among groups using an ecologic model.
Design And Methods:
Cross sectional secondary analysis of 11,432 adolescents (51% 8th and 49% 10th graders).
Results:
Attitude, perception of risk, and academic performance were the strongest predictors of AU. PA did not moderate, but it had a positive influence on AU in 10th graders. Differences were observed among groups.
Practice Implications:
Nurses can address individual and school factors in an effort to decrease AU and guide nurses in creating an individualized plan.
