Abstrakt: Purpose To determine the predictors of alcohol use ( AU) and their relationship to physical activity ( PA) among adolescents and to examine differences among groups using an ecologic model. Design and Methods Cross sectional secondary analysis of 11,432 adolescents (51% 8th and 49% 10th graders). Results Attitude, perception of risk, and academic performance were the strongest predictors of AU. PA did not moderate, but it had a positive influence on AU in 10th graders. Differences were observed among groups. Practice Implications Nurses can address individual and school factors in an effort to decrease AU and guide nurses in creating an individualized plan.
