Summary, Conclusion and Recommendation

Summary

This study is a quantitative study which was designed to know the

perceptions of grade 12 students in drinking alcohol at Notre Dame of Marbel

University, and it is designed to know the significant difference of alcohol use to

age, gender and strand of the respondents. As per design the total respondents of

this study comprised of grade 12 students with age ranging from 16 to 19 years.

The respondents consist of 810 students with 324 males and 486 females. The

respondents were given a questionnaire adapted from Margarita Antonia Villa Luis

II on the development and validation of a scale of attitudes towards alcohol,

alcoholism, and alcoholics. To obtain data for the perceptions of grade 12 students

in drinking and their alcohol use, the percentage of the total responses obtained

from the respondents were used. Hence the overall data respective to each

variable was collected.

Within the given age range of the respondents (16-19 years old) 16 years

old respondents are the one who always drink compared to other age range, and

when they drink, they sometimes have five or more drinks of alcohol at a time. All

respondents claimed that sometimes their parents know that they drink alcohol and

often permits them to drink alcohol at home. In relation to their sexes with their

alcohol use and perception, both male and female sometimes drink alcohol with

five or more drinks at a time. In relation to their strand with their alcohol use and

perception, all respondents coming from different strands claimed that they

sometimes drink alcohol with five or more drinks at a time.

The results from the data gathered shows that the respondents agreed on

the statements five to twelve and disagreed on the statements one to four. And

with that there was a significant difference in terms of age, sex, and strand of the

respondents.

Conclusion

From the analysis it was found out that:

1. Grade 12 students who most likely always indulge themselves in alcoholic

drinking were females whose age is 16 years old under the strand of STEM.

While students whose age ranges from 17-19 sometimes indulge into

alcoholic drinking.

2. Grade 12 students believe that people have the rights to drink alcohol if they

want to. They believe that the consumption of alcohol is fine if the usage of

alcohol is not harmful, and it can make anyone feels good.

3. There is a significant difference in terms of age, sex, and strand regarding

alcohol use.

Recommendations

Long term assessments are particularly constrained by the availability and

reliability of recorded data. The frequency, and often the methodology, in which

censuses and surveys are made do not always suit the purposes of this kind of

research. Base from our study, the researchers focused on the perceptions of

grade 12 students with the sub-variables age, sex and strand. The researchers

believed that the consumption of alcoholic beverages is fine whether what age,

sex and strands they belong. But the researchers suggested that this kind of

attitude towards alcohol should be lessened.

For the school, the researchers would like to recommend that the guidance

office will conduct more programs and seminars that emphasizes how to control

the alcohol intake of the students, the school must raise an awareness to the

students about the bad effects of alcohol if overused.

For the parents, the researchers would like to recommend that they should

have a parent and child talk especially refreshing the do’s and the don’ts rule.

Lastly, for the students who drinks alcohol we recommend control to their

alcoholic beverages consumption.
