Abstract
Racial self-identification and experiences of discrimination increase the risk of problematic alcohol consumption (PAC). However, it knows little about this association in people dedicated to recyclable waste recyclable waste picking. The objective of the present study was to explore the relationship between racial self-identification, experiences of discrimination and PCA in recyclable waste pickers in Cartagena, Colombia. A cross-sectional study was designed. A non-probabilistic sample of adults completed demographic information, ethnic-racial self-identification, the everyday life discrimination scale (ELDS), and the CAGE questionnaire (CPA). Participants included 206 people aged between 18 and 70 years (M=37.7, SD=12.5); 71.4% men and 28.4% women, 39.3% were self-identified as Afro-Colombian, indigenous or raizal (SIAIR) and 60.7% as of another ethnic-racial group, 59.2% reported high frequency of discrimination experience and 15.5% presented PAC. The SIAIR showed significant association with PAC (OR=3.18, 95%CI 1.44-6.99), after adjusting for sex, and high frequency of experience of discrimination was independent of PAC (OR=1.12; 95%CI 0.50-2.52). Among urban recyclable waste pickers, PAC is associated with SIAIR and it is independent of the experiences of discrimination. More research is needed in this area.References
