ABSTRACT
Abstract

Objective:

To examine and compare overall prevalence and time trends in tobacco and alcohol portrayals and brand appearances in youth-rated US and nationally-produced films that were the most successful in Argentina and Mexico from 2004-2012. Materials and

methods:

Top-grossing nationally produced films from Argentina (n=73), Mexico (n=85) and the US (n=643) were content analyzed. Logistic regression was used to determine differences between Mexican, Argentine and US produced films. Linear regression models assessed significant cross-country differences in the mean number of tobacco and alcohol seconds.

Results:

Films from Mexico and Argentina were more likely than US films to contain tobacco, (OR=4.2; p<0.001) and (OR=7.2; p<0.001). Alcohol was present in 93% of Argentine, 83% in Mexican and 83% US films.

Conclusions:

Smoking and alcohol were highly prevalent in nationally produced films. They may have a significant impact and should be targeted by policies to reduce youth exposure to portrayals of risk behaviors.
RESUMEN
Resumen

Objetivo:

Este estudio evalúa la representación en el tiempo de contenidos de tabaco y alcohol en las películas para adolescentes más populares en Argentina y México de 2004 a 2012. Material y

métodos:

Se analizaron las películas localmente más taquilleras producidas en Argentina (n=73), México (n=85) y EE.UU. (n=643). Se realizaron modelos de regresión logística para determinar diferencias entre películas mexicanas, argentinas y norteamericanas en variables dicotómicas, y de regresión lineal para evaluar las diferencias significativas entre países para variables continuas.

Resultados:

Las películas mexicanas y argentinas muestran mayor contenido de tabaco en comparación con las norteamericanas (OR=4.2; p<0.000) y (OR=7.2; p<0.000, respectivamente). El alcohol estuvo presente en 93% de películas argentinas, y en 83% tanto de las mexicanas como de las norteamericanas.

Conclusión:

Los resultados observados muestran tendencias que pueden tener un impacto significativo en la exposición de conductas de riesgo en jóvenes, y por ello son relevantes en la política pública.
