Abstract Background To evaluate the early age of onset (AOO) of alcohol consumption and its association with sociodemographic, nutritional and lifestyle characteristics. Methods A national cross-sectional multi-centered study assessed 12–17-year old adolescents from 1247 public and private schools in 124 Brazilian municipalities with more than 100 000 habitants. Our variable of interest was the AOO of alcohol consumption. Covariates comprised sociodemographic status, lifestyle habits and nutritional parameters. We used adapted survival models to investigate the association between covariates and the AOO of alcohol consumption. Results From a sample of 67 672 adolescents, 50% were females. The mean AOO of alcohol consumption was 12.9 years. Male adolescents had a lower mean age of alcohol experimentation when compared to females in Northeast and South regions. The difference between private and public school for AOO was observed only for the Northeast Region (12.6 versus 13.1, respectively). Adolescents who reported smoking or mental health problems or from the Southern Region presented earlier alcohol use. Physical activity and overweight were positively associated with earlier use of alcohol. Conclusions There is no homogeneity in the AOO of alcohol consumption among adolescents, which should be considered when formulating public policies and government campaigns directed toward reducing alcohol consumption.

Abstract. The moderating role of parenting styles in the relationship between impulsivity and alcohol consumption in a sample of Spanish adolescents. Alcohol consumption in adolescents is a complex problem that is often related to impulsive behavior. The objective of this study was to analyze the role of parenting styles in the relationship between impulsivity and alcohol consumption in a sample of 613 Spanish adolescents aged between 13 and 18 years (M = 15.76, DT = 1.16) and enrolled in secondary education schools. The results revealed that neglect and negative evaluation of the mother as well as a controlling father were the variables related to alcohol consumption in male adolescents with high dysfunctional impulsive. In the case of female adolescents, support and stimulation, as well as a positive evaluation of the father were linked to lower consumption. This study presents evidence that the parenting style of the parents is related to alcohol consumption of children depending on the degree of dysfunctional impulsivity.Resumen. El consumo de alcohol en adolescentes es un problema complejo que suele aparecer acompañado de conductas impulsivas. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar el papel de los estilos parentales en la relación entre la impulsividad y el consumo de alcohol en una muestra de 613 adolescentes españoles escolarizados en centros de educación secundaria, con edades comprendidas entre los 13 y 18 años (M = 15.76, DT = 1.16). Los resultados indicaron que la negligencia y la evaluación negativa de la madre, así como el control del padre eran las variables relacionadas con el consumo de alcohol en varones con elevada impulsividad disfuncional. En las mujeres, el apoyo y estimulación, y la evaluación positiva del padre se vinculaban a un menor consumo. Este estudio presenta evidencia de que el estilo de crianza de los padres está relacionado con el consumo de alcohol de los hijos dependiendo del grado de impulsividad disfuncional de éstos últimos.

Purpose Among the best strategies to address inadequate speech monitoring skills and other parameters of communication in people with cluttering (PWC) is the relatively new but very promising auditory–visual feedback (AVF) training ( van Zaalen & Reichel, 2015 ). This study examines the effects of AVF training on articulatory accuracy, pause duration, frequency, and type of disfluencies of PWC, as well as on the emotional and cognitive aspects that may be present in clients with this communication disorder ( Reichel, 2010 ; van Zaalen & Reichel, 2015 ). Methods In this study, 12 male adolescents and adults—6 with phonological and 6 with syntactic cluttering—were provided with weekly AVF training for 12 weeks, with a 3-month follow-up. Data was gathered on baseline (T0), Week 6 (T1), Week 12 (T2), and after follow-up (T3). Spontaneous speech was recorded and analyzed by using digital audio-recording and speech analysis software known as Praat ( Boersma & Weenink, 2017 ). Results The results of this study indicated that PWC demonstrated significant improvements in articulatory rate measurements and in pause duration following the AVF training. In addition, the PWC in the study reported positive effects on their ability to retell a story and to speak in more complete sentences. PWC felt better about formulating their ideas and were more satisfied with their interactions with people around them. Conclusions The AVF training was found to be an effective approach for improving monitoring skills of PWC with both quantitative and qualitative benefits in the behavioral, cognitive, emotional, and social domains of communication.
