Social and demographic characteristics of female adolescents with alcohol addictive behavior

The authors have reviewed and identified most typical social and demographic characteristics of 14-18 year-old female adolescents from the Republic of Belarus who have had alcohol addicted behavior issues. Major social patterns associated with alcohol-addictive behavior have been identified and a social model of risk prediction has been developed for this group of patients. The findings may be useful for development of efficient targeted preventive arrangements.
