description Alcohol abuse is a critical issue in schools worldwide, with students starting to drink at younger ages. Key factors such as social pressure, household conditions, and emotional stability significantly influence student drinking behavior, often leading to compulsive drinking. This study investigates how peer influence contributes to compulsive drinking among students and explores preventive measures. To explore these interventions, we utilized agent-based modeling to simulate alcohol consumption dynamics among students. Each student is modeled as an agent with attributes like susceptibility to peer pressure and drinking status. The model, implemented in NetLogo, follows a discrete-time process where agents move and interact, updating their behavior based on peer influence. Recovery workshops were tested to evaluate their impact on reducing compulsive drinking. Specifically, when the initial percentage of binge drinkers was set to 20% and the social influence radius was increased to 7, nearly all students from groups 1 to 4 became binge drinkers at an accelerated rate. However, implementing recovery workshops where 50% of binge drinkers reduced their alcohol intake led to a visible slowdown in compulsive drinking rates, significantly mitigating the spread. These results highlight the importance of early, targeted interventions in schools to transform societal drinking patterns, promoting a healthier, more stable student population. This research provides valuable insights for policymakers and educators working to combat underage drinking and its social consequences.

Factores clave como la presión social, las condiciones del hogar y la estabilidad emocional influyen significativamente en el comportamiento de consumo de alcohol de los estudiantes, a menudo llevando a un consumo compulsivo. Este estudio investiga cómo la influencia de los pares contribuye al consumo compulsivo de alcohol entre los estudiantes y explora medidas preventivas. Para explorar estas intervenciones, utilizamos modelos basados en agentes para simular la dinámica del consumo de alcohol entre los estudiantes. Cada estudiante se modela como un agente con atributos como la susceptibilidad a la presión de los pares y el estado de consumo de alcohol. El modelo, implementado en NetLogo, sigue un proceso de tiempo discreto en el que los agentes se mueven e interactúan, actualizando su comportamiento en función de la influencia de sus compañeros. Se probaron talleres de recuperación para evaluar su impacto en la reducción del consumo compulsivo de alcohol. Específicamente, cuando se estableció que el porcentaje inicial de bebedores excesivos era del 20% y se aumentó el radio de influencia social a 7, casi todos los estudiantes de los grupos 1 a 4 se convirtieron en bebedores excesivos a un ritmo acelerado. Sin embargo, la implementación de talleres de recuperación en los que el 50% de los bebedores excesivos redujeron su consumo de alcohol llevó a una desaceleración visible en las tasas de consumo compulsivo, mitigando significativamente la difusión. Estos resultados destacan la importancia de intervenciones tempranas y específicas en las escuelas para transformar los patrones de consumo de alcohol en la sociedad, promoviendo una población estudiantil más saludable y estable. Esta investigación proporciona valiosas ideas para los responsables de políticas y educadores que trabajan para combatir el consumo de alcohol entre menores y sus consecuencias sociales.application/pdfengAnalysis Of The Spread Of Alcohol Consumption Among Students Through Agent-based ModelsAnálisis de la difusión del consumo de alcohol entre estudiantes a través de modelos basados en agentesarticleArtículohttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501Acceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Agent-Based ModelingAlcohol ConsumptionRecovery WorkshopsModelación Basada en AgentesConsumo de AlcoholRecovery WorkshopsLeiva R, María Alejandrabb2cc510-d724-4e35-a887-6e4e5f75664f-1Galvis, Diego Esteban09829a5d-a978-43d0-8e57-9800e5d398ad-1Castano, Juan Pablo005bc62f-58f8-4442-9f03-2796f7da42bc-1Universidad EAFITCuadernos de Ingeniería Matemática4ORIGINALAnalysis of the spread of alcohol consumption among students through agent based models.pdfArtículo Principalapplication/pdf908565https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/9a415580-d990-492c-be3f-6b0bd6d0d693/download4c146d24c8c91113e71906d6e303cf45MD51LICENSELicense.txtLicensetext/plain2584https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/8e7690dd-84b7-4109-bea5-ca4ac581ff56/downloaddb71ab3fdf552b62aa0a746cef2840e4MD52THUMBNAILPortada.pngPortadaimage/png1747211https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/8da53f44-0066-4772-a9f8-a066eac8725c/download5bc3017473813e875879dcd10727c474MD5310784/34770oai:repository.eafit.edu.co:10784/347702024-12-04 11:48:53.823open.accesshttps://repository.eafit.edu.coRepositorio Institucional Universidad EAFITrepositorio@eafit.edu.co
