Informe sobre el consumo de drogas en las Américas 2019
Abstract
El Informe sobre el Consumo de Drogas en las Américas 2019 analiza los datos actuales sobre el uso de drogas en el Hemisferio. Presenta información sobre las drogas más utilizadas en toda la región, organizada por grupos de drogas y por grupos de población, y destaca temas emergentes de interés para los responsables políticos y para el público en general. El Informe se basa en datos obtenidos principalmente a través de encuestas nacionales que utilizan el Sistema Interamericano de Datos Uniformes sobre Consumo de Drogas (SIDUC), desarrollado por la Secretaría Ejecutiva de la CICAD.
... In Chile, the last available national study conducted in 2021 showed that 11.1% of adolescents smoked tobacco in the last month, 24.0% drank alcohol, and 11.2% used cannabis (9), making Chile one of the top countries in the prevalence of substance abuse among secondary students in the Americas (10). Although this prevalence has been somewhat reduced recently, they are still alarming, especially considering the increase in crimes related to drug tra cking in Chile (11). ...
Introduction. Substance use among adolescents is a public health problem. We culturally adapted The Social Competence Promotion Program for Young Adolescents (SCPP-YA) program to the school context in Chile (henceforth “Mi Mejor Plan or MMP”) and assessed the acceptability, feasibility, fidelity, and quality of the implementation among 6 th graders. We also explored the efficacy of the program in improving individual protective factors and reducing risk factors and substance use. Methods. Cluster randomized controlled trial conducted in Chile. The schools were randomly assigned to one of two conditions in a 1:1 ratio: 1) the "MMP" intervention group, and 2) the Control group. The program consisted of a 16-hour class-based curriculum promoting social problem-solving skills delivered by a trained facilitator. Primary outcomes were acceptability, feasibility, fidelity, and quality of the implementation using detailed reports of facilitators and from observers of the performance of the facilitators in vivo. Additionally, we explored the efficacy of the intervention on secondary outcomes: 30-day prevalence of tobacco, alcohol, and cannabis use and individual risk and protective factors promoted by MMP. We performed an intention-to-treat analysis using mixed models, taking into account the hierarchical nature of the data. Results. 765 6th graders from 11 schools were enrolled (one school dropped out after the randomization); 608 were analyzed at baseline, and 538 were analyzed post-intervention. 52.5% were male, and the average age was 11.3 in both groups. All 16 sessions were implemented, and students’ attendance at each session ranged from 83.8% to 92.4%. The program was generally well-received, with up to 91.3% of students rating acceptability positively. Facilitators and observers reported high adherence to the contents of the program in most sessions. Protective factors, such as negative beliefs about tobacco and alcohol, increased significantly in the IG. Still, there were no significant changes in substance use, risk factors, emotion regulation, or school membership. Conclusions. The MMP program was well accepted, and we achieved high levels of implementation and fidelity. The program improved some individual protective factors, such as negative beliefs about tobacco and alcohol, with changes in substance use among adolescents. Trial registration. Registered on ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT04236947.
