ABSTRACT
This research is part of the 2006 edition of the Health Behavior in School-aged Children (HBSC) study. The data presented were composed of a sample of 15942 Spanish adolescents ranging from 13 to 18 years of age. The instruments used included a variety of questions related to substance consumption among adolescents, their bio-psycho-social adjustment and developmental contexts, all of which are part of the HBSC study instrument bank. Through classification analysis, as well as significance and effect size tests, we obtained relevant information about the current epidemiology of substance consumption among Spanish adolescents. These results are representative of the Spanish adolescent population which allows the typical risk profile attributed to young people to be clarified. A gradual adjustment can be seen in terms of substance consumption levels in youth and that same level in their friends. Likewise, the analysis of the developmental context (family, friends and school) provides important information when it comes to preventing substance consumption, thus showing the advantages that coherence and connection have between the different environments where youth live, grow up and develop (AU)
RESUMEN
Esta investigación forma parte de la edición 2006 del estudio Health Behavior in School-aged Children (HBSC). Los datos que se presentan constituyen una muestra de 15942 adolescentes españoles de 13 a 18 años. Los instrumentos utilizados han sido diversas preguntas relacionadas con el consumo de sustancias, el ajuste biopsicosocial de los adolescentes y sus contextos de desarrollo, que forman parte del banco de instrumentos del estudio HBSC. Realizando análisis de clasificación, pruebas de significación y tamaños de efecto, se obtiene información relevante acerca de la epidemiología actual del consumo de sustancias en los adolescentes españoles. Se trata de resultados representativos de la población española que permiten matizar con detalle el perfil de riesgo típicamente atribuido a los jóvenes. Se demuestra una graduación en la relación entre el nivel de consumo de sustancias de los jóvenes y el nivel de consumo de sus amistades. Así mismo, el análisis de los contextos de desarrollo (familia, amistades y escuela) aporta información relevante a la hora de prevenir el consumo de sustancias, demostrando las ventajas que supone la coherencia y conexión entre los diferentes ámbitos donde los jóvenes viven, crecen y se desarrollan (AU)
