A corelational descriptive, retrospective and transverse study was practiced. The population included were all of the students from I to VIII in the School Of Medicine of the University Of Manizales during the period of the second semester of the year 2002. The total population was 320 students of which 301 were included.
Three questionnaire were applied : The first classified the type of consumption, ,the second was designed to essay internal risk factors and the third essayed external risk factors for the consumption of alcohol. All 3 questionnaires were applied at the same time to prevent the study from having errors or desertion. At the same time it was applied to the total of the popula-tion (320 students) but due to external factors such as not going to class, 301 who answered are considered the total popula-tion in the study.
The information obtained thru this study was analyzed with data banks, pie charts, crossed analysis and contingency tables. The relationship between the type of consumption and the internal and external risk factors was verified thru a X2 assessment
(square chi) with a significance level of 0.05%. Of the total the population (301), 163 were women (54.2%) and 134 (44.5%) were men. The age oscillated between 14 and 38 years. The distribution according to place of origin was 30.2 % from Manizales, 8.3 % from Ibague (Tolima), 7.3 % from Pereira
(Risaralda), 6% from Armenia (Quindio) and 4% from Pasto (Nariño). This allows us to determine that 69.8% are from outside the city of Manizales, Caldas. the data showed that the main risk factors for alcohol consumption in the mentioned
population, in order of importance, were :
Tendency to feel depressed, low academic scores, negative self image and suicidal ideas. The main type of consumption in the students belonging to the School of Medicine of the University Of Manizales was occa-sional (68.1%) according to our characterization. It was also determined that some risk factors like transgresive behavior are not a risk factor for alcohol consumption contrary to what was hypothesized before this study
was performed.
