Summary
Respecto a los jóvenes del área urbana, en la Tabla 5 se reporta que las expectativas del consumo de alcohol reportaron correlación positiva y significativa con el número de bebidas consumidas en un día típico (rs= 0,184; p = 0,022), con el puntaje del AUDIT (rs= 0,370; p < 0,001) y con el consumo dañino (rs= 0,290; p < 0,001), lo que significa que a mayores expectativas hacia el consumo de alcohol, mayor es el número de bebidas consumidas en un día típico y mayor es el consumo dañino de alcohol. Se encontró una correlación negativa y significativa entre las expectativas hacia el consumo de alcohol y el consumo sensato de alcohol (rs= - 0,358; p < 0,001), lo que significa que a menores expectativas, es mayor el consumo sensato de alcohol
