Abstract

Objectives: This study examined the trend of alcohol-related research, with a specific focus on adolescent problem drinking, to provideevidence for prevention and intervention for adolescent alcohol problems and alcohol policy in Korea. Methods: A total of 17 studiesexamining adolescent problem drinking were included for meta-analysis. Using CMA (Comprehensive Meta-Analysis) 2.0, the effect sizesof correlation coefficients of variables related to adolescent problem drinking were analyzed. Results: 176 variables were extracted under4 higher categories and 20 sub-categories. Variables were extracted using the four higher categories, namely individual, family,environmental, and demographics, as the theoretical framework. Results showed that most studies on adolescent problem drinking focusedmostly on individual factors followed by family factors. Variables including drinking motivation, drinking expectancy, and peer relationsshowed relatively higher effect size. Conclusions: Study findings suggest the importance of balance between individual and environmentalfactors in examining problem drinking among adolescents. In order to provide evidence for alcohol policy, more attention should be givento macro environment that are known to influence adolescent drinking.
