The researchers utilized descriptive correlational design which was intended to determine the significant relationship of risk and protective factors to the prevalence of alcohol use. Alcohol-Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) and Community That Care (CTC) Youth Survey were used in the accumulation of data which was analyzed and interpreted through frequency and multiple correlation.<br/><br/>The results showed that female adolescents drank alcohol beverages on monthly or less basis. The percentage of the prevalence of alcohol use of female adolescents in terms of number of bottles drank was ranged between | to 4 bottles on a typical or casual day.<br/><br/>The majority of the risk factors of alcohol use among female adolescents in the peer- individual domain were high risk of alcohol use. Moreover, the protective factors of alcohol use among female adolescents’ results showed that community domain had high protective<br/>factor.<br/><br/>Using multiple correlation, the results showed in the correlation of prevalence of alcohol to the risk factors wherein the 3 domains: family, community, and peer individual were highly significant with the. The results in the correlation of prevalence of alcohol to the protective factors only the family domain was highly significant. <br/><br/>Furthermore, the family protective factors correlation was negative which meant that the higher the level of family protection, the lesser is the prevalence of alcohol. While the two domains had no significant relationship to the prevalence of alcohol use.<br/><br/>
