Therefore, various risk factors related to alcohol and other kinds of substance abuse, like social, economic and health factors can be found here. Parental influence and peer pressure seem to have a strong impact on adolescents' behavior. Youngsters like to experiment with risky life styles, without adequate knowledge about long-term health effects. lt is well known that drug abuse is common in early adolescence, with almost the same epidemiological characteristics in both economically developed and undeveloped countries. In order to develop an appropriate prevention strategy, it is necessary to be aware of all relevant risk factors first. Objective: Finding risk factors relating to alcohol abuse among adolescents.
