RESUMEN

Objetivo:

Conocer la prevalencia y los patrones de consumo de alcohol y tabaco en función del género de los estudiantes de primero de medicina de la Universidad del País Vasco. Materiales y

método:

Estudio observacional, descriptivo y transversal mediante cuestionario anónimo autoadministrado basado en la encuesta ESTUDES y en el que se incluye el test AUDIT C y el Índice de dureza de fumar (HSI).

Resultados:

Muestra de 225 estudiantes (77,8% mujeres), media de edad 18,9 años. El 8,0% nunca ha consumido alcohol, el 80,0% ha consumido bebidas alcohólicas en el último mes y el 46,0% se ha emborrachado en los últimos 30 días. Entre los consumidores en el último mes, el 9,4% bebe todos los fines de semana, el 48,3% es bebedor de riesgo y el 67,2% ha realizado consumos intensivos de alcohol. Por lo que se refiere al tabaco, el 80,9% nunca ha fumado, el 2,2% fuma semanalmente y el 1,8% fuma a diario. No se observan diferencias significativas en función del género, excepto una mayor prevalencia de borracheras en el último año y consumos intensivos de alcohol en los hombres y de consumos de riesgo en las mujeres.

Conclusiones:

La prevalencia de fumadores es muy baja y muy inferior a la de otros universitarios de España. Por el contrario, las prevalencias de consumo de alcohol son elevadas y similares a las de otros jóvenes de la misma edad, sean o no estudiantes universitarios. Son necesarios programas específicos de prevención del consumo de alcohol y de otras drogas en estudiantes universitarios y particularmente en titulaciones que desempeñan un papel modélico para la población general
ABSTRACT
Objective. To find out the prevalence and patterns of alcohol and tobacco consumption based on gender among first-year students of medicine at the Universidad del País Vasco. Materials and method. An observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study using an anonymous, self-administered questionnaire based on the ESTUDES survey and including AUDIT C test and the Heaviness of Smoking Index (HSI). Results. Sample of 225 students (77.8% female), mean age 18.9 years. 8.0% have never consumed alcohol, 80.0% have consumed alcohol in the last month and 46.0% have been drunk in the last 30 days. Among consumers in the last month, 9.4% drink every weekend, 48.3% are risk drinkers and 67.2% have been binge drinking. As far as tobacco is concerned, 80.9% had never smoked, 2.2% smoke every week and 1.8% smoke daily. There were no significant gender differences, except for a higher prevalence of drunkenness in the last year and binge drinking in the males and risk drinking in females. Conclusions. The prevalence of smoking is very low and much lower than that of other university students in Spain. On the other hand, the prevalence of alcohol consumption is high and similar to that of other young people of the same age, whether university students or not. Specific programmes are required for prevention of the consumption of alcohol and other drugs among college students and particularly in those taking degree subjects that represent a role model for the general population
