Factores que concorrem para o consumo de álcool nas escolas: estudo de caso da Escola Secundária de Nkobe (2020-2022)

Abstract

Alcohol consumption by students has been a concern for student society and has become a public health issue over time in our beautiful Mozambique, specifically in Maputo and beyond its borders. School, an important means of socialization and formation of peer groups, plays a crucial role in educating, preventing and combating alcohol consumption among its students within the school environment. The theme of this monograph is “Analysis of Factors that Contribute to Alcohol Consumption in Schools. Case Study: Nkobe Secondary School (2020-2022)”. The aim of this study was to analyze the factors that contribute to alcohol consumption in Nkobe Secondary School among 10th grade students in Matola city. The school plays the role of a second educational home, serving as a foundation to instill the skills necessary for the human development of students, counting on the help of other actors, such as the family and society in general. Based on the results obtained, prevention and intervention measures are proposed to deal with alcohol consumption at school. These measures aim to promote awareness of the harmful effects of alcohol, improve student-teacher relationships and involve parents in students' school lives.
