Description
Summary:[...]alcohol misuse during adolescence is associated with an enhanced risk of unprotected/regretted sexual activity, criminal and disorderly behavior, suicide and deliberate self-harm, injury, drunk driving, alcohol poisoning, and accidental death [8]. [...]the early onset of alcohol misuse is associated with a risk of poor-prognosis AUD later in adulthood and with more psychiatric comorbidities and other addictive disorders [9]. The occurrence of misuse in adolescence is frequently associated with social and family issues [12] and other substance misuse and with psychiatric comorbid disorders in the adolescent. [...]it should be emphasized that the occurrence of alcohol misuse in children and adolescents is more frequently associated with psychiatric disorders or psychological distress than in adults. [...]it is up to addiction specialists, and adult and child psychiatrists to constantly raise awareness of this very frequent association among professionals who work with this population.
