Abstract

Objective: to verify the association between alcohol intake and symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress in women. Methodology: this is an exploratory, non-probabilistic, snowball crosssectional study carried out with adult women. The instruments were a structured questionnaire with sociodemographic data, behavioral variables and physical exercise, Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) and Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scales (DASS-21). Data collection was carried out online, through an invitation with a link sent by mobile application (WhatsApp), electronic address (e-mail) and social networks (Facebook and Instagram), carried out in the period from December 2020 to January 2021. Results: a total of 301 women participated in the study, with a mean age and standard deviation of 34.14 ± 10.47 years. Among the sample, 78.4% had low alcohol intake, 17.9% risk intake and 3.7% probable dependence. The study showed an association between high risk alcohol intake in young adult women with: other sources of income, non-practice of physical exercise, symptoms of anxiety and stress. It was also verified in the sample, risk of probable alcohol use disorder among young adult participants, with other sources of remuneration, symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress. Conclusions: high risk intake and possible alcohol use disorder by the women researched was high, highlighting the importance of regional studies, aiming to present the magnitude of this problem.
