Abstract
Background
The role of alcohol geographic availability in influencing adolescent drinking has been debated. However, clear literature consensus has not been reached.
Objective
To provide a systematic review of the associations between geographic availability of alcohol outlets measured through different methodologies and drinking outcomes in adolescents.
Methods
We conducted a systematic search (PubMed/SCOPUS/Web of Science) for articles exploring associations between alcohol availability and adolescent drinking before 2023. Original articles written in English that evaluated adolescent populations (10–19 years old), included at least one quantitative alcohol consumption outcome and its relationship with geographic availability of alcohol, and declared no conflicts of interest were selected for the review. A quality assessment of the selected articles was made using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and descriptive analyses were carried out to summarize results.
Results
Thirty-one articles were reviewed (19 cross-sectional and 12 longitudinal studies), which included a total of 507336 participants. Alcohol availability was positively related to drinking prevalence and risky patterns in 53.3% and 60.5% of associations, respectively. Individual-level covariates, the type of alcohol outlets measured and the different methodological approaches to measure outlet density were related to differences in the direction and magnitude of these associations.
Conclusion
Just over half of the studies in this review demonstrate a positive association between alcohol availability and adolescent alcohol consumption with no negative associations reported. The review highlights the mix of methodological approaches that are used, which made it difficult to conduct joint analyses. Additional research is needed to explore the appropriateness, effectiveness and reliability of these methods within various contexts.
