ABSTRACT
Objective: to analyze different patterns
(regular or occasional) of drug use in
adolescents and identify profiles of their
consumption; verify the relationships
established with respect to variables
associated with decision-making of
consumption (family support and evaluation
of consequences).
Methods:
the sample was composed by 822 junior
high school students from 13 to
18 years. The questionnaire was made
ad hoc to know the socio-demographic
and consumption data, and to evaluate
the perceived family support. The subs-
cale, of the same name, included in the
Multidimensional Scale of Perceived
Social Support was used.
Results: there
was a positive correlation between the
assessment that adolescents made to the
current relationship with their parents/
guardians and the family support perceived.
In addition, family support as well as
the relationship with parents, negatively
correlated with the frequency of tobacco
use. Regular cannabis consumers showed
significant differences in family support
with respect to those who do not consume
it on a regular basis.
Conclusion: it
is necessary to establish different profiles
of consumption in adolescents, to design
interventions and to implement healthy
habits programs from Primary Care.
