Abstract
A pesar de los esfuerzos realizados en materia de prevención, las cifras
de consumo de drogas en nuestro país siguen siendo preocupantes,
revelando edades de consumo cada vez más precoces. A día de hoy las
explicaciones son muy diversas, aunque no suelen traducirse en soluciones
realmente efectivas. El presente trabajo, planteado desde la perspectiva
del Marketing Sanitario, intenta encontrar algunas de las claves de
esta situación. El trabajo empírico ha consistido en la realización de 683
entrevistas a jóvenes de ambos sexos, de entre 18 y 30 años, residentes
en la comunidad gallega. Además de actualizar los datos disponibles
referidos a hábitos y prácticas de riesgo, se ha analizado la relación entre
ambos tipos de variables, en un intento de alcanzar nuevas explicaciones
y claves para una mejor prevención del consumo de drogas en esta
población. Los resultados obtenidos ponen en entredicho la eficacia de
las actuales políticas de prevención
In last two decades a big effort has been made in order to prevent drug use, and the number of studies related to consumption of these substances among young people has increased. Nevertheless, the figures are still high, revealing both an increasingly shorter age of initiation. Nowadays, the number of possible explanations for this is large, but they are not targeted towards real solutions. The present study, departing from a Health Marketing perspective, tries to find some key aspects of this situation. The empirical work, consisting of 683 interviews with young men and women, among 18 and 30 years, residents in Galicia, apart from updating the available data about habits and risk behaviors, linking both types of variables in an attempt to reach new plausible explanations and keys, in order to a better prevention of drug use in young people. The results call into question the effectiveness of current prevention policies
