| Sumario: | Introduction: the suicide attempt generates bio-psychosocial consequences for those who suffer it, their relatives and society, 44% of the attempts have been made under the influence of alcohol. Objective: to determine the relationship between the risk of suicide and the degree of alcohol consumption in young adults. Material and Methods: cross-sectional, observational, comparative study, in 150 participants between 18 and 29 years of age, convenience sampling, (Epi info, 96% CI, NE 4%), authorized by local research committee (R-2023-3511-010); sociodemographic data, ask suicide-screening questions for suicide risk (100% sensitivity, 91% specificity) and AUDIT test for alcohol consumption (80% sensitivity, 89% specificity) were interviewed, analysis in SPSS v.25 with descriptive statistics, x2, Mann Whitney U and Spearman connections, (CI 95% and NE 5%); presentation in tables and graphs. Results: mean age 24.11 ± 3.4, 70 women, with a degree (50%), students (80%); 18 had only one child, 86% single, 40.6% with extended family. There was low alcohol consumption in men with a union and in those with only one child; higher consumption in women with polynuclear and extended families. Three cases referred for urgent care of 27.3% with suicidal risk, of which their alcohol consumption was 14.3%, 28.6% and 20% for those with dependence, harmful consumption and risk, respectively. Higher frequency of suicide risk at 19 and 20 years (sig. 0.026), in women (p=0.017, OR 0.408); in mental health treatment (p=0.001, OR 3.915); likely depression (p=0.002, OR 3.464), previous suicide attempt (p=0.000, OR 10.083) and for extended family in men and polynuclear in women. Finally, the hypothesis test resulted with sig. of 0.317 (95% CI, NE 5%) and a coefficient of consequences of -0.082 (sig.319).Conclusions: there is no relationship between suicide risk and alcohol consumption in young adults at UMF 94. |
