Descripción
Sumario:[EN] Adolescence is a transitional stage marked by significant cognitive and emotional development, accompanied by crucial psychosocial transitions. During this period the initiation of substance use and engagement in risky behaviours reach its peak (1). In relation to the use of alcohol, tobacco and cannabis, Villanueva-Blasco et al. have explored the relationship between these substances and various factors associated with the school environment, establishing indirect connections with behavioural problems. The results reveal that behavioural problems are positively correlated with alcohol and the problems associated with its ingestion, while cannabis consumption showed an inverse correlation with these problems. Likewise, a positive association was found between tobacco and cannabis use. Structural equation modelling demonstrated that the perception of the school environment exerts an influence on adolescent behaviour, with the sense of challenge experienced by young people in their school environment directly correlating with the presence of behavioural problems. Additionally, problem behaviour was predicted using alcohol, tobacco and cannabis, as well as excessive alcohol consumption.
