Abstract: A sample of 681 5th,7th,8th,10th and 11th graders from three primary and secondary schools in Changsha,Hunan province was selected to explore characteristics and its contributing factors with alcohol use behavior among adolescents.The results showed as follows:(1) 31% adolescents had ever used alcohol in the past 30 days,with 12.7% ever binge drinking and 8.5% ever drunk in the past 30 days.Males and adolescents with low academic achievement reported higher level of alcohol use compared to their counterparts; (2) adolescents drinking behavior was positively associated with peers' drinking behavior and school drinking neighborhood.Moreover,adolescents drinking behavior was negatively associated with peers' drinking attitude,adolescents' drinking attitude and drinking refusal self-efficacy; (3) peer and school neighborhood factors and drinking attitude could directly predict adolescents'drinking refusal self-efficacy.In addition,peer and school neighborhood can indirectly influence adolescents'alcohol use behavior through drinking attitude and drinking refusal self-efficacy.
