Résumé :
Much attention has been paid to the various determinants - biological and environmental - that influence drinking behavior, particularly among young people, and to their relative impact.
These can fall into four groups:
- genetic predisposition;
- individual characteristics;
- social and economic factors;
- environmental determinants.
Research often focuses on just one group of factors at a time. However, their influence is complex and interrelated, and effects cannot easily be disaggregated.
While there is broad agreement that multiple factors have a role in drinking behavior, considerable debate surrounds the following questions:
- Which are the most influential determinants?
- How do they interact?
- How can they best be addressed through interventions?
