L’EFFICACIA DELL’INTERVENTO DEI CLUB DEGLI ALCOLISTI IN TRATTAMENTO SULLA RETE SOCIALE, SULL’AUTOSTIMA E SULL’AUTOEFFICACIA: UNO STUDIO DI PANEL IN FRIULI VENEZIA GIULIA

In Italy the production of alcoholic beverages, wine in particular, represents an important sector for market (both domestic and foreign); moreover alcohol “moderate” assumption is a widespread behavior, socially accepted and deeply rooted in cultural alimentary tradition so as to connote a particular type of consumption, the Mediterranean one. The most important agencies for public health (both national and international), on the basis of scientific and epidemiological evidences, have come to regard the alcoholic consumption an important risk factor for chronic diseases, for road, domestic and occupational accidents, for violence and homicides. In the different institutional and social contexts we are taking note that alcohol is an important risk factor for health and that the consequences of alcohol consumption have serious impact not only in the health sector, but also in the social and economic ones, with serious consequences in terms of lost years of life and work, of individual and familiar suffering, of violence and accidents. This thesis is a part of a research dealing with the analysis of the modification of social network, self esteem and self efficacy in a non representative sample of participants in the self-help of Alcoholics in Treatment. It’s a longitudinal panel survey using a face-to-face questionnaire for a sample (n=165) of subjects that, in a period of 24 months, attended a Club in Friuli Venezia Giulia.
