Abstract
The study we conducted focused on «the determinants of alcohol consumption by pregnant women in the ZSUR of Gemena, whose objective was to identify the explanatory factors of alcohol consumption. alcohol by pregnant women. It starts from the observation of excessive alcohol consumption by pregnant women in the locality of Bozagba for which we asked ourselves this research question: what are the explanatory factors of excessive alcohol consumption by pregnant women? ? In view of this question, we hypothesized that the excessive consumption of alcohol by pregnant women in the locality of Bozagba is due to: Ignorance of the harmful effects of alcohol on pregnancy by pregnant women. To verify the hypotheses, we used the survey method supported by the structured observation technique and the face-to-face interview. After the manual tabulation and analysis of the data collected, we obtained the following results: - 60% of respondents have a low level of knowledge about the harmful effects of alcohol on pregnancy; 33.3% have an average level and 6.7% have a high level. - More than 86.7% consume 4 to 6 glasses of alcohol per day; 10% consume 7 to 10 glasses of alcohol a day; - 50% of respondents consume alcohol to cope with worries without however recognizing their harm to their health; 30% for their prestige and 20% for the pleasant taste; In addition, the study revealed that after being informed of the harmful effects of alcohol on the health of the mother and the fetus, 73% of the respondents have positive attitudes towards alcohol withdrawal while 27% negative attitudes.

Abstract: (french)
L’étude que nous avons menée a porté sur « les déterminants de la consommation d’alcool par les femmes enceintes dans la ZSUR de Gemena, cas de la localité Bozagba » dont l’objectif était d’identifier les facteurs explicatifs de la consommation d’alcool par les femmes enceintes. Elle part de constat d’une consommation excessive de l’alcool par les femmes enceintes de la localité de Bozagba pour laquelle, nous nous sommes posés cette question de recherche: quel sont les facteurs explicatifs de consommation excessive de l’alcool par les femmes enceintes ? Eu égard à cette question, nous avions émis l’hypothèse selon laquelle la consommation excessive de l’alcool par les femmes enceintes de la localité de Bozagba est dû à: L’ignorance des effets nocifs de l’alcool sur la grossesse par les femmes enceintes. Pour vérifier les hypothèses émises, nous avions recouru à la méthode d’enquête soutenu par la technique d’observation structurée et l’interview face à face. Après le dépouillement manuel et l’analyse des données recueillies, nous avons obtenu les résultats ci-après: - 60% des enquêtées ont un niveau des connaissances bas sur les effets nocifs de l’alcool sur la grossesse; 33,3% ont un niveau moyen et 6,7% ont un niveau élevé. - Plus de 86,7% consomment 4 à 6 verres d’alcool par jour; 10% consomment 7 à 10 verres d’alcool par jour; - 50% des enquêtées consomment de l’alcool pour supporter les soucis sans pourtant reconnaitre leurs méfaits sur leurs santés; 30% pour leurs prestiges et 20% pour le goût agréable; Par ailleurs, l’étude a révélé qu’après d’être informée des effets nocifs d’alcool sur la santé de la mère et de fœtus, 73% des enquêtées ont des attitudes positives face au sevrage d’alcool tandis que 27% ont des attitudes négatives.
