This descriptive and transversal study, carried out on an intentional sample of 211 subjects who were split in terms of their consumption of psychoactive substances over the last month and who were aged between 18 and 28 (M = 21.36, and SD = 1.90), aimed to explore the emotional intelligence, perceived socio-family support and academic performance of university students vis-à-vis their consumption of drugs and to examine the link between them. The goal was to define university student consumer profile through a regression model using the multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale (EMAS) and the Trait Meta Mood Scale-24 (TMMS-24) as instruments, together with academic performance and gender. The results report alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis consumption rates that are above the levels indicated by the Spanish household survey on alcohol and drugs in Spain (EDADES 2019) for the 15–34-year-old age range in Castilla y León. A certain link was observed between the consumption of substances and academic performance, although no differences were seen in academic performance in terms of consumer type. There was also no clear link observed between emotional intelligence and academic performance or between social support and academic performance. The predictive contribution of the variables included in the regression model was low (9%), which would advocate completing the model with other predictive variables until more appropriate predictability conditions can be found.
Description of the psychopathological and criminal profile in drug-dependent patients under treatment. This study performs an analysis of the prevalence of criminal behaviors in addicted patients under treatment. The sample consisted of 71 addicts (63 men and 8 women) who sought treatment at Proyecto Hombre Valladolid. Criminal behaviors, socio-demographic characteristics and consumption variables were evaluated with the EuropASI; psychopathological symptomatology with the SCL-90-R; and personality variables with the MCMI-III. Patients with and without criminal behaviors were compared in all the variables studied. The rate of addicted patients involved in criminal acts was 67.6% (n= 48). Significant differences were observed between patients with and without criminal behavior. Patients with criminal acts were more likely to show polydrug use. Patients with associated criminal behaviors had a more severe addiction. The implications of these results for clinical practice and future research are discussed.Keywords: Drug addiction; crime; criminological profile; comorbidity; addictions.Resumen: En este estudio se lleva a cabo un análisis de la prevalencia de conductas delictivas en pacientes adictos en tratamiento. Se cuenta con una muestra de 71 adictos (63 hombres y 8 mujeres) que acudieron a tratamiento en Proyecto Hombre Valladolid. Se evaluaron las conductas delictivas, las características sociodemográficas y las variables de consumo con el EuropASI, la sintomatología psicopatológica con el SCL-90-R y las variables de personalidad con el MCMI-III. Se compararon los pacientes con y sin conductas delictivas en todas las variables estudiadas. La tasa de pacientes adictos implicados en actos delictivos fue del 67.6% (n = 48). Se observaron diferencias significativas entre los pacientes con y sin conductas delictivas. Entre los pacientes con actos delictivos era más probable que presentaran policonsumo de sustancias. Los pacientes con conductas delictivas asociadas presentaban una mayor gravedad en su adicción. Se discuten las implicaciones de estos resultados para la práctica clínica y la investigación futura.Palabras clave: Drogadicción; delito; perfil criminológico; comorbilidad; adicciones.
