Este estudio muestra cómo ajustar el trabajo sobre creencias en una intervención preventiva con un colectivo de 330 jóvenes (12-18 años), partiendo de una identificación de las principales creencias que mantienen los jóvenes en la actualidad, a partir de recursos electrónicos y programas de prevención.
Se aprecian diferencias significativas en las creencias en función de la edad y el nivel de consumo, siendo las referidas al alcohol las más distorsionadas.
De ellas, algunas no se incluyen en los programas revisados y otras no lo hacen en todos. Las creencias identificadas sería adecuado trabajarlas desde el inicio de la secundaria, manteniendo algunas de ellas durante todo este ciclo (e.g. el alcohol no es una droga o combinar emborracha más) y disminuyendo la importancia de otras (e.g. el alcohol anima o el café quita la borrachera).
Las creencias sobre cannabis no se incluyen en los programas de prevención revisados, pese a aparecer alteradas en los primeros cursos de la ESO.
Al atender al nivel de consumo es el grupo de bebedores y el de policonsumidores los que muestran mayor grado de distorsión en todas las creencias, excepto en el caso del cannabis en el que destacan claramente estos últimos.

Abstract

Significant differences in beliefs appear on age and level of consumption, and that referred to alcohol are the most distorted.

The beliefs identified may work from the beginning of the secondary school, sustaining some of them during this cycle (eg alcohol isn't drug or mix different type of dinks make easiest drunkenness) and decreasing the importance of others (eg alcohol liven up or coffee removed drunkenness).
Cannabis beliefs are not included in reviewed prevention programs, although they were altered in the early years of secondary.
Referring to level of consumption drinkers and polydrugs users show a greater degree of distortion in all beliefs, except in the case of cannabis ones which clearly highlights on the seconds.
