Abstract

NEVES, Bruna Ramos et al. Social representation of alcohol consumption among elders of a quilombola population. SMAD, Rev. Eletrônica Saúde Mental Álcool Drog. (Ed. port.) [online]. 2019, vol.15, n.4, pp.1-8. ISSN 1806-6976.  https://doi.org/10.11606/issn.1806-6976.smad.2019.153605.

OBJECTIVE: understand the words evoked by elders of a quilombola population about alcohol consumption. METHOD: this is a mixed-approach (quantitative and qualitative) research. The Free-Speech Evoking Technique was used with the inductive term "alcohol consumption". The analysis was performed using EVOC 2005 software. A form with sociodemographic questions was used, and the statistical analysis was performed with SPSS software, version 21. RESULTS: participants interviewed were 60 elderly, mostly were female and with low schooling. CONCLUSION: the social representations on the alcohol consumption were negative, which shows meanings linked to the high consumption of alcohol and to the problems deriving from this consumption.

Keywords : Elderly; Quilombo; Social Representations; Alcoholics.
