摘要:Abstract The present study aims to analyze how university students’ attitude and beliefs towards alcohol can influence their perception which would contribute to a risk or protective behavior. 869 students participated, and the instruments used were The Expectancy Questionnaire Alcohol and The Self-Efficacy Scale for AIDS- SEA-27. It determined that the first risk factor which is perceived by youth is the use of the condom, and they do not agree that alcohol increases sexuality, so they minimize its effects and expose themselves to risk.
