Sumario:This article, which has used data from the 2006 edition of the “Health Behaviour in School-aged Children” (HBSC) Study, focuses on assessing the effectiveness of the drug addiction prevention programs. The analysis centres on the consumption of tobacco and alcohol, bearing in mind the gender, school year and family income of two groups of adolescents in secondary school: one group that has not received any substance abuse prevention program nor have the teachers had training in the prevention of substance abuse (identified as the control group) and another group composed of those adolescents that have received some type substance abuse prevention and whose teachers had specific training in this area (identified as the experimental group). The results showed significantly lower consumption only for some adolescents from the experimental group: those in year 1 (consumption of tobacco and alcohol), as well as those with low income (consumption of tobacco). Therefore, the data seems to indicate that the school substance drug abuse prevention programs are more effective, both for boys and girls, at the start of the secondary education and, particularly with regards to the use of tobacco, when the family income level is low.
