“…Recently, longitudinal studies (Corliss et al, 2008;DeBord et al, 1998;Hatzenbuehler et al, 2008;Marshal et al, 2009;Rostosky et al, 2007Rostosky et al, , 2008Skinner and Otis, 1996;Talley et al, 2010;Tucker et al, 2008) have examined temporal patterns of alcohol use among nonclinical samples of sexual minority individuals and compared those with patterns among sexual majority individuals. These longitudinal studies suggest that sexual minority individuals are at risk for alcohol involvement, and these patterns of use generally fl uctuate over time.…”

“…Previous studies have assessed same-sex sexual attractions and behaviors once at the beginning of a study period (Sell, 1997); sexual minority self-identifi cation, sexual attractions, and behaviors once at the end of the study period (Marshal et al, 2009); confounded or combined reports of sexual minority self-identifi cation and samesex sexual attractions at one (Corliss et al, 2008) or two (DeBord et al, 1998;Rostosky et al, 2007) assessment occasions; or combined a one-time assessment of selfidentifi cation with at least one report of a same-sex partner in one's past (Hatzenbuehler et al, 2008). Corliss et al (2008), for example, created a "hierarchical coding scheme" to collapse assessments of sexual orientation measured at three waves into a single variable or treated these three assessments as a time-varying covariate (i.e., a variablecentered approach), depending on the analytic strategy.…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: The current study develops an empirically determined classifi cation of sexual orientation developmental patterns based on participants' annual reports of self-identifi cations, sexual attractions, and sexual behaviors during the fi rst 4 years of college. A secondary aim of the current work was to examine trajectories of alcohol involvement among identifi ed subgroups. Method: Data were drawn from a subsample of a longitudinal study of incoming fi rst-time college students at a large, public university (n = 2,068). Longitudinal latent class analysis was used to classify sexual minority participants into empirically derived subgroups based on three self-reported facets of sexual orientation. Multivariate repeated-measures analyses were conducted to examine how trajectories of alcohol involvement varied by sexual orientation class membership. Results: Four unique subclasses of sexual orientation developmental patterns were identifi ed for males and females: one consistently exclusively heterosexual group and three sexual minority groups. Despite generally similar alcohol use patterns among subclasses, certain sexual minority subgroups reported elevated levels of alcohol-related negative consequences and maladaptive motivations for use throughout college compared with their exclusively heterosexual counterparts. Conclusions: Elevations in coping and conformity motivations for alcohol use were seen among those subgroups that also evidenced heightened negative alcohol-related consequences. Implications and limitations of the current work are discussed. (J. Stud. Alcohol Drugs, 73, 290-302, 2012) Received: May 16, 2011. Revision: November 9, 2011.

S EXUAL MINORITY INDIVIDUALS (i.e., those who endorse a nonheterosexual self-identifi cation or same-sex sexual attractions or behaviors) tend to show higher levels of substance use (Bux, 1996;Marshal et al., 2009;Paul et al., 1991;Talley et al., 2010). Alcohol use disparities may be more pronounced for female sexual minority members (Corliss et al., 2008;Eisenberg and Wechsler, 2003; Marshal et al., 2008) compared with their male counterparts. These disparities are thought to contribute to increased risk of suicide attempts (Hegna and Wichstrøm, 2007;Russell and Joyner, 2001; cf. Silenzio et al., 2007) and ideation (Silenzio et al., 2007), elevated frequencies of risky sexual behaviors (e.g., Meyer and Dean, 1995; cf. Weatherburn et al., 1993), and other adverse consequences.Several hypotheses attempt to explain vulnerability to alcohol misuse among sexual minorities (for reviews, see Bux, 1996;Hughes and Eliason, 2002), including coping with s...

“…Un estudio llevado a cabo en los Estados Unidos se propuso evaluar la religiosidad como factor protector frente al uso de sustancias en jóvenes adultos, encontrando que la religiosidad cumple un efecto protector importante frente al uso de alcohol, consumo de tabaco y consumo de marihuana. Se encontró, por ejemplo, que por cada unidad de incremento en el índice de religiosidad se reducía el uso de alcohol en 9%, el consumo de tabaco en 13% y el consumo de marihuana en 20% (23) .…”

ResumenIntroducción: El consumo de drogas es un problema de salud pública a nivel mundial; se viene incrementando en países en vías de desarrollo. Las drogas ilegales, como marihuana e inhalantes (terokal, PVC, benzina y/o acetona), son consumidas cada vez a edades más tempranas. Objetivo: Determinar las características epidemiológicas, personales, escolares y los factores de tipo familiar (involucramiento de los padres con las actividades de sus hijos) que se asocian con el consumo de marihuana e inhalantes por los estudiantes de secundaria de Lima Metropolitana y Callao. Diseño: Estudio analítico y transversal. Lugar: Lima Metropolitana y Callao. Participantes: Cinco mil seiscientos cuarenta y siete estudiantes de 2°, 4° y 5° año de secundaria. Intervenciones: Revisión y análisis de la base de datos del estudio nacional "Prevención y consumo de drogas en estudiantes de secundaria", llevado a cabo por la Comisión Nacional para el Desarrollo y Vida sin Drogas, el año 2005. Resultados: La prevalencia de vida de consumo de drogas ilegales en estudiantes de secundaria de Lima Metropolitana y Callao fue de 5,9% (marihuana) y 4,8% (inhalantes). El consumo de marihuana fue más frecuente en hombres (7,6%) que en mujeres (2,71%), p<0,001. El consumo de marihuana e inhalantes fue significativamente más frecuente (p<0,001) en quienes no conviven con sus padres, en quienes tienen dos o más antecedentes de fracaso escolar, en quienes tienen frecuentes problemas de comportamiento en el colegio y en quienes se 'hacen la vaca' (ausentismo escolar). El tipo de colegio (público o privado) no se asoció significativamente con el antecedente de consumo de marihuana e inhalantes. Los factores de riesgo hallados para el consumo de marihuana e inhalantes fueron: tener algún problema de comportamiento o disciplina durante los estudios, dos o más antecedentes de fracaso escolar y 'hacerse la vaca'. Entre los factores de involucramiento familiar, fueron factores protectores: el conocimiento acerca de la ubicación del hijo por parte de los padres luego de la salida del colegio o en los fines de semana, el control de los padres sobre los programas de televisión que mira el estudiante, el comer junto a los padres entre 4 a 7 días a la semana y el informar a sus padres por parte del adolescente sobre el lugar donde sale en las tardes o fines de semana. Conclusiones: Existe una mayor frecuencia de consumo de drogas entre quienes tienen antecedentes de fracaso e indisciplina escolar así como disfunción familiar. Los valores positivos de participación de la familia en las actividades de sus hijos constituyen factores protectores frente al consumo de estas sustancias; el rol familiar es trascendental en la formación del adolescente. Palabras clave: Trastornos relacionados con sustancias; salud escolar; factores de riesgo; salud pública. AbstractIntroduction: Drug abuse is a public health problem worldwide and has increased in developing countries. Illegal drugs such as marihuana and inhalants (terokal, PVC, benzene and/or acetone) are consumed i...

“…Assim, tem-se a perspectiva de resgatar a cidadania distanciada por muito tempo desses sujeitos, tornando-se, para isso, essencial o envolvimento de todos os profissionais e atores inseridos no contexto do indivíduo (18) . Em consonância com alguns estudos, encontramos principalmente na CCEV uma clara atuação na dimensão do suporte social, sobretudo ao tentar recuperar os indivíduos viciados, ressocializando-os, resgatando sua fé, sua cidadania, sua vontade de viver, com vistas ao fortalecimento da autonomia e das habilidades dos sujeitos (18,19) . Outro aspecto a ser considerado é que, a participação de atividades religiosas pode facilitar a abstenção de atitudes que comprometam a saúde, já que crenças e práticas religiosas proíbem comportamentos relacionados ao uso de álcool e drogas.…”
