Abstract

The aim of the current study is to pilot methods for the involvement and empowerment of adolescents in regard to alcohol consumption and situational abstinence and the possibilities of adolescent-created narratives in alcohol abuse prevention. Alcohol consumption is analysed from the practice theory perspective, where alcohol consumption is an independent practice shared through various personal stories. Action research and co-creation methods were used in workshop sessions with adolescents in one school in Estonia. Adolescents aged 13–15 participated in the workshops and engaged in storytelling and the co-creation of stories. During five meetings, participants shared their views and experiences regarding alcohol party culture and situational abstinence. Short and informal participatory action research meetings made it possible for adolescents to express their thoughts regarding alcohol culture, especially norms. The participants did not consider alcohol consumption to be problematic, and they found videos showing immediate consequences to be the best way to reach adolescents. Two different types of parties were discussed, and insight was provided on how a planned alcohol-free party turned into an alcohol party. However, action research and the co-creation method presented challenges, since the highly structured school context leaves adolescents little unstructured time that can be used for this kind of research, and fitting these activities into their tight schedules was complicated.

青少年酒精预防中共同创造的可能性

当前研究的目的是试点方法，使青少年参与和授权饮酒和情境戒断，以及青少年在预防酒精滥用方面创造叙述的可能性。从实践理论的角度分析酒精消费，其中酒精消费是通过各种个人故事分享的独立实践。在爱沙尼亚一所学校的青少年研讨会上采用了行动研究和共同创造方法。13-15岁的青少年参加了工作坊，参与讲故事和共同创作故事。在五次会议中，与会者分享了他们对酒精派对文化和情境性戒酒的看法和经验。短期和非正式的参与性行动研究会议使青少年能够表达他们对酒精文化，特别是规范的看法。参与者不认为饮酒是有问题的，他们发现视频显示直接后果是接触青少年的最佳方式。讨论了两种不同类型的派对，并就计划中的无酒精派对如何变成酒精派对提供了见解。然而，行动研究和共同创造方法提出了挑战，因为高度结构化的学校环境使得青少年很少有非结构化的时间可以用于这种研究，并且将这些活动安排到紧凑的时间表中是很复杂的。
