It grows from 14% to 69% students who considered a mental stimulant like cocaine.
The campaigns of the Municipal Plan on Drug Dependence get young people to stay away from topics like that are few accidents motivated by alcohol ingestion improves your reflexes, or only harmful if it is poor quality.
The Department of Social Welfare and Health is preparing a new website about alcohol, "If you drink, drink-quences."
Awareness campaigns conducted by the Department of Social Welfare and Health among high school students in the municipality managed to increase the perceived risk associated with the consumption of alcohol.
The increase has been especially significant in some indicators, such as those who consider it a mental stimulant similar to amphetamines or cocaine -55% - who think it is good to combat the cold -48% - assume their ignorance about the harmful effects -31% - or recognize that it is easier to control your consumption -30% -.
Participation in various workshops taught in secondary schools by the City within the Municipal Plan on Drug Dependence over 2010 has increased the percentage of young people recognize that alcohol is a risk behavior.
Thus, before the campaigns, risk indicators identified by the students were 'better reflexes, "" very few accidents that happen because of alcohol, "" only if it harms the health of poor quality "," although you can eat a little drive "and" is a drug. "
After attending workshops sponsored by Health, acquired greater prominence among the risks perceived by young people that "it is easier to control consumption," and "drinking on the weekends does not impair the ability to study and work."
The following table reflects the impact of interventions on risk perception of drinking alcohol before and after conducting the workshops.
