“…Asimismo, resultan relevantes las diferencias intersexuales en los patrones de consumo, hallándose en los chicos una mayor proporción de consumo de drogas ilegales que en las chicas, incrementándose a medida que aumenta la edad (Miller, Naimi, Brewer y Everett, 2007;OEDT, 2011). En este sentido, diversos autores destacan la importancia de diseñar programas preventivos teniendo en cuenta los diferentes patrones de consumo de sustancias entre hombres y mujeres, reduciendo así el riesgo de mantener una trayectoria de consumo en la edad adulta (Khan, Cleland, Scheidell y Berger, 2014) y las importantes interferencias negativas sobre la salud física y psicológica del adolescente (Brown, 2008;Masten y Faden, 2008). Asimismo, se ha asociado con la participación en conductas de riesgo como por ejemplo absentismo escolar, desvinculación con la escue-Importancia de la conducta prosocial, la resolución de problemas, y el consumo de drogas en adolescentes La conducta prosocial se asocia con el establecimiento de conductas de carácter voluntario y empáticas dirigidas al beneficio de otros (Eisenberg, Fabes y Spinrad, 2006), tales como ayudar en los deberes o escuchar a otros cuando quieren hablar sobre un problema.…”

Resumen: Este estudio presenta como objetivos: 1) estudiar el consumo de drogas, la conducta prosocial y la resolución de problemas en función del sexo y la edad, y 2) analizar la asociación de la conducta prosocial y las habilidades de resolución de problemas con el consumo de drogas. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo con un diseño transversal. La muestra se compuso de 567 escolares de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria (48.14% chicos) con edades entre 14 y 17 años (M = 14.92; DT = .90). Se hallaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en el consumo de alcohol y conducta prosocial en función del sexo, así como en el consumo de alcohol y cannabis en función de la edad. Cuando se controló el efecto de la edad y el sexo dentro de los modelos de regresión, la variable que mejor predijo el consumo de alcohol y cannabis fue la conducta prosocial. Los resultados de este estudio resaltan la importancia de promover conductas prosociales como factor de protección del consumo de alcohol y cannabis en la etapa adolescente. Palabras clave: adolescencia; consumo de drogas; conducta prosocial; resolución de problemas.Title: Relationship of the prosocial behaviour, the problem-solving skills and the use of drugs amongst adolescents. Abstract: The objectives of the present study are the following ones: 1) to study the use of drugs, the prosocial behaviour and the problem-solving skills with respect to age and gender, and 2) to analyze the association of both the prosocial behaviour and the problem-solving skills with the use of drugs. An descriptive cross-sectional study was performed, amongst a sample of 567 students in Spanish Compulsory Secondary Education (48.14% males) with an age range from 14 to 17 years (M = 14.92; SD = .90). Statistically significant differences were found concerning alcohol use and the prosocial behaviour with respect to gender, as well as concerning alcohol and cannabis use with respect to age. When we controlled the effect of age and sex in the regression models, the variable that best predicted alcohol and cannabis use was prosocial behavior. The results from this study enhance the importance of tailored interventions based on the promotion of prosocial behaviours as fundamental protective factor for substances use such as alcohol and cannabis amongst adolescents. Key words: adolescence; drug use; prosocial behaviour; problem solving. 1* AntecedentesLa mayor parte de los estudios recientes sobre el consumo de drogas en la etapa adolescente se centran en los factores de riesgo como las conductas de tipo antisocial (Brindas, Rodríguez, López-Cepero, Rodríguez y Estrada, 2012; Contreras, Molina y Cano, 2012; López y Rodríguez-Arias, 2012; Torregrosa, Inglés, García-Fernández, Gázquez, Díaz y Bermejo, 2012). La evidencia empírica sobre estas conductas de riesgo es más consistente que en el caso de los factores de protección del consumo de drogas como son la conducta prosocial y las estrategias de resolución de problemas (Fang, Barnes-Ceeny y Schinke, 2011; López y Rodríguez-Arias, 2010; Triplett y...

“…Alcohol risk behaviors include binge drinking, experiencing hang-overs, throwing up after drinking, driving drunk, relationship problems with friends and dating, physical fights, problems at work or school, and sexual situations that an individual regrets (Khan, Cleland, Scheidell, & Berger, 2014; Kopak, Chia-Chen Chen, Haas, & Gillmore, 2012). Binge drinking has been linked to the following adverse health and social outcomes: violence, suicide, sexually transmitted infections, unintended pregnancies, hypertension, and unintentional injuries, such as motor vehicle crashes (Kanny, Liu, Brewer, & Lu, 2013).…”

This study investigated the effect of childhood supervisory neglect on emerging adults’ drinking. Child supervisory neglect is the most common form of child maltreatment in the United States, but few studies explore supervisory neglect separate from other forms of maltreatment among emerging adults, 18–25 years old. The study sample included (n = 11,117) emerging adults, 18–25 years old who participated in Waves I and III of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health). We conducted separate analyses for male and female emerging adults, because they have different rates of alcohol consumption and alcohol risk behaviors. Our study used latent class analysis to understand how patterns of alcohol risk behaviors clustered together. For males, we found the following four classes: (1) multiple-risk drinkers, (2) moderate-risk drinkers, (3) binge-drinkers, and (4) low-risk drinkers or abstainers. For females, we found the following three classes: (1) multiple-risk drinkers, (2) moderate-risk drinkers, and (3) low-risk drinkers or abstainers. For both males and females, supervisory neglect increased the odds of membership in the multiple-risk drinkers’ class compared to the low-risk drinkers or abstainers’ class. Single males who did not live with their parents, and who were white had increased odds of being in the multiple-risk drinkers. For females, being more educated, or in a serious romantic relationship increased the odds of membership in the multiple-risk drinkers’ class. Practitioners should ask about histories of supervisory neglect among emerging adults who engage in alcohol risk behaviors.

“…Underage males report more alcohol use than underage females, independently of WHO region. Similarly, previous studies in adults have shown that women drink less than men and also, that they have more alcoholrelated problems than men [18]. Studies have shown that adolescent girls suffer more adverse cognitive effect related to alcohol than adolescent boys, especially in working memory and visual-spatial functions.…”
