La relación del consumo de alcohol y otras drogas con la situación laboral de estudiantes universitarios en el contexto de Covid-19

Abstract

Abstract: The researchobjective was to analyze the consumption of alcohol, other drugs and employment situation, establishing their prevalence and sociodemographic variables and compare the levels of alcohol consumption in relation to the employment situation in university students, in the context of Covid-19. Instruments used: Ad Hoc Sociodemographic Questionnaire; Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT-C); Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST). The sample was composed of 325 university students, between 18 and 54 years old, with an average age of 28.37 years. The results indicate differences between the means of alcohol consumption corresponding to each type of employment situation, with informal employment with an average of 5.09 being the highest level, without being considered statistically significant. The results of this study can be references for future research where they propose actions from public policy that reduce effects on mental health of scenarios such as unemployment and job insecurity, as well as strategies for the prevention of consumption with a biopsychosocial approach.
