Abstract

Addressing the issue of prevention from alcohol abuse, the realized project was not built with reference to a typical medical or sanitary perspective on health, but mainly adopting the perspective of developmental and socio-cultural psychology. We were primarily interested in knowing the meanings adolescents attach to their prevailing experiences and their representations of drinking alcohol. We also assumed that adolescents use alcohol to test themselves and to challenge themselves into possible identities. So we designed the survey as an action research, collecting information from participants to the project and discussing the data with them, both on their alcohol representations and their identities conceptions. We will show the main results, in terms of the collected data.
