Influencia de los pares consumidores en el uso de sustancias entre adolescentes: Revisión sistemática basada en la experiencia práctica

Abstract

Abstract: This curricular integration project addresses the problem of substance use among adolescent groups, as evidenced during practical experiences. Based on this observation period, the research question was proposed, and subsequently, a systematic literature review was conducted to analyze the relationship between peer groups and substance use. During the review of the selected studies, a correlation was found between peer groups and substance use. Based on this relationship, a fictitious clinical case was created of an adolescent whose substance use was influenced by his peers. Identification data, the reason for consultation, a psychological evaluation, and a treatment proposal were included. Understanding the link between the two variables allowed the case to be contextualized from a comprehensive perspective. Upon completion of this work, it facilitated the integration of theory, professional practice, and scientific evidence, thus providing a clinical and sensitive perspective on the psychosocial factors that influence substance use in adolescents.
