Intervenciones cognitivo-conductuales en la reducción del consumo de alcohol en adolescente: Revisión sistemática a partir de la experiencia práctica

Abstract

Abstract: This curriculum integration project addresses the problem of alcohol consumption in adolescents, identified during practical experiences in the clinical setting. The population served presented patterns of moderate consumption, mainly in social settings, highlighting the need for early and culturally adapted interventions. Based on this observation, a systematic review of the scientific literature was conducted to identify the most effective psychological interventions for reducing alcohol consumption in this adolescent population. The findings indicated that brief Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most effective interventions for modifying risky behaviors, strengthening social skills, and preventing relapse. Based on this evidence, a simulated clinical case was developed involving an adolescent with light drinking at social events. The case included identifying information, the reason for the consultation, a clinical evaluation using standardized tests (AUDIT and CRAFFT), a DSM-5 diagnosis, and a CBT-based treatment plan. This work integrated theory, scientific evidence, and professional practice, promoting a well-founded approach to the care of adolescents with risky drinking.
