Abstract

Objective: Establish an explanatory model through latent variables analysis of tobacco consumption based on al- cohol consumption and alcohol consumption based on attitudes towards consumption in a sample of university students in Ecuador. Method: Descriptive correlational and explanatory design using SEM (Structural Equation Mo- deling) techniques. Participants: 546 students (69.2% women) aged between 17 and 41 years old (M= 21.3 years old; SD= 2.6), from four universities (45.1% public ones) in two cities of Ecuador. Results: The predominance of alcohol consumption is high; the prevalence of tobacco consumption is low, and attitudes towards alcohol consumption are ambivalent. Alcohol attitudes predict alcohol consumption (R2= .57) and alcohol consumption predicts tobacco consumption (R2= .26). Attitudes and consumption provide an explanatory model for tobacco consumption with ꭓ2= 662.59; p< .001; df= 480; ꭓ2/gl= 1.4; CFI= .95; TLI= .94; SRMR= .049; RMSEA= .026 [.021 - .031]. Conclusions: The study of attitudes and consumption behaviors are important for a better understanding about alcohol and tobacco consumption in university students.

态度和酒精消费对厄瓜多尔大学生烟草使用的影响:一个带有SEM的解释模型

目的:通过对厄瓜多尔大学生样本中基于酒精消费的烟草消费和基于消费态度的酒精消费进行潜变量分析，建立解释模型。方法:采用结构方程模型(SEM)技术进行描述性相关设计和解释设计。参与者:546名学生(69.2%为女性)，年龄在17 - 41岁之间(M= 21.3岁;SD= 2.6)，来自厄瓜多尔两个城市的四所大学(45.1%是公立大学)。结果:饮酒优势度高;烟草消费的流行率很低，对酒精消费的态度也很矛盾。酒精态度预测酒精消费(R2= 0.57)，酒精消费预测烟草消费(R2= 0.26)。态度与消费为烟草消费提供了解释模型ꭓ2=662.59;p <措施;df = 480;ꭓ2 / gl = 1.4;CFI = .95;TLI =总收入;SRMR = .049;Rmsea = .026 [.][21 - 0.031]。结论:对大学生烟酒消费态度和消费行为的研究对更好地了解大学生烟酒消费具有重要意义。
