Özet

This study investigated the psychosocial correlates of alcohol use related problems in a sample of 581 working adolescents ( N = 4405), recruited from five vocational schools in Ankara in June 2004 with the CAGE questionnaire, The Beck Depression Inventory, the Beck Hopelessness Scale, the Spielberger State Anxiety Scale, and the Coopersmith Self- Esteem Inventory. Using a multivariate analysis, the anxiety and hopelessness scores, and the length of stay in Ankara were found to be related to alcohol- use problems of the working youth. The study's limitations were noted and future research was suggested.
