La aceptación social como factor de riesgo en el consumo de sustancias en adolescentes: Revisión sistemática a partir de la experiencia práctica

Abstract

Abstract: This curriculum integration project addresses the issue of social acceptance as a risk factor for the onset of substance use among adolescents, an issue identified during practical fieldwork in clinical psychology within the education sector. Based on this observation, a research question was formulated, and a systematic review of the scientific literature was conducted to analyze the direct relationship between the variables. The results revealed a strong correlation between social influence and the onset of substance use, highlighting disturbances in various spheres of life. Based on this evidence, a simulated clinical case was constructed for an adolescent using cannabis under peer influence, which included identifying information, reason for consultation, psychological assessment, and a treatment proposal. This study facilitated the integration of theory, professional practice, and scientific evidence, promoting a clinical perspective sensitive to the risk factors that influence adolescents decision-making.
