Abstract:
The purpose of our study was to assess drinking status in middle school students and to understand the associated factors. The adjusted drinking rates were 50.9%, 39.8%, and 15.1% for lifetime, past-year, and current drinking, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression revealed the following variables positively related to drinking during the past year: family income, maternal educational level, family members who drink, parents who support drinking, best friends who drink, friends who encourage drinking, frequently attending friends' parties, smoking, and actuation trend (P<0.05). The main risk factors were friends (OR=6.77, 95% CI: 6.17, 7.43) and smoking (OR=4.70, 95% CI: 3.44, 6.43). These results contribute to obtaining the potential associated factors and aid in targeted intervention into the drinking behavior of middle school students.
