Existe un amplio consenso en considerar a la familia como el principal agente modulador del riesgo/protección del consumo de drogas en edades tempranas. La influencia de la familia en la transmisión de valores y adquisición de conductas es indiscutible, y por lo tanto es objeto de numerosas intervenciones preventivas. Objetivo: En la presente investigación se analiza la relación de tres variables de índole familiar y el consumo de alcohol y tabaco en los hijos, estas son: el control parental, la actitud parental ante el consumo de alcohol, y la disponibilidad de dinero. Método: Estudiantes de 3er y 4º curso de ESO respondieron a una batería de tests sobre factores de riesgo y consumo de drogas. Se identificaron dos grupos: consumidores de alcohol y tabaco (n=70) y no
consumidores (n=46). La media de edad es de 14,17. Resultados: Los resultados muestran una clara relación entre consumo y actitud parental.
Los jóvenes que reportaron no consumir, percibían actitudes parentales más contrarias al abuso de alcohol. De igual manera se constata una relación directa entre disponibilidad económica y consumo de alcohol y tabaco. No obstante, no se encontraron diferencias entre ambos grupos en la percepción del control parental.
Abstract
Considering the family as the main modulating agent of risk / protection of drug use at younger ages is supported by a broad consensus.
The family influence in the transmission of values and develop of new behaviors is undeniable, and therefore the family is the target of many preventive interventions. Objective: This paper analyzes the relationship of three family variables and alcohol and tobacco consumption by the offspring; the variables are: parental control, parental attitudes towards alcohol consumption, and money availability. Method: Students of 3rd and 4th year of ESO answered to a battery of tests on risk factors and drug use. Two groups were identified: consumers of alcohol and tobacco (n = 70) and non-users (n = 46). The average age is 14.17. Results: Results show
a clear relation between consumption and parental attitudes. Teenagers that informed no consumption perceived higher attitudes against alcohol abuse. Similarly, there was found a direct relationship between economic availability and consumption of alcohol and tobacco. However, no differences were found between groups in the perception of parental control.
