“…The report made by the students is almost 9 points higher than what was observed in the Eleventh National Study of Drugs in the School Population of Chile, carried out in 2015. 5,22 This result is superior compared to the last study in the general population. 7 Marijuana is the illegal drug most consumed by adolescents, and national and international studies have shown a rise in consumption in recent decades, with no impact from government-led prevention policies.…”

Objective: to identify the perception of harm and benefits of marijuana associated with the use of marijuana in high school students aged between 15 and 17 years. Method: quantitative, transversal, descriptive and correlational design. The sample consisted of 268 students from public educational institutions between the ages of 15 and 17 years from five communes in the Chilean province of Concepción. The independent variables were biodemographic (sex, age and course), age of onset, use of marijuana in friends, perception of harm and benefits, and intention to use marijuana). The dependent variables were use (smoking) of marijuana (prevalence of life, in the last 12 months and in the last 30 days). Data collection instrument consisted of a semi-structured questionnaire in base of the CICAD Uniform Inter-American Data System for high school students; Monitoring The Future; and Risk Perception. Self-applied instrument with prior consent of the parents and agreement of the students. Results: slightly more than half (54%) of the students reported never having smoked marijuana, but 46% have ever used some in their lives. There is a moderated-negative weak correlation between harm perception and marijuana use. It is also observed a moderated-negative weak correlation between benefit perception and marijuana use. Statistically significant correlations Conclusion: just under half of the students between 15 and 17 years old declare to consume marijuana, an alarming result due to the negative effects of marijuana. Furthermore, they perceive low levels of damage produced by the use of marijuana, and the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes is seen in a favorable position. A comprehensive policy of effective drug prevention at community, family and personal level is imperative.

“…In summary, BDD is a poorly studied and underdiagnosed psychiatric disorder. This may be because BDD is not perceived as a disorder by aesthetic practitioners, who may think that they are merely offering a "service" [22][23][24]. The main objective of our study was to estimate the prevalence of BDD in Spain.…”

Background Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is defined as excessive concern with mild or nonexistent defects in personal physical appearance, which are not perceived by others. The worldwide prevalence of BDD ranges between 0.5% and 3.2%, with no differences across genders. The mean age of onset of BDD is 16.9 years. BDD is typically associated with young age, psychiatric disorders, and dermatological procedures. Patients with BDD typically display poorer mental health status than patients diagnosed with other mental disorders. Objective The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of BDD in Spain and to identify the variables associated with BDD. Methods We performed a cross-sectional descriptive study by collecting data through an anonymous web-based survey targeting the Spanish population aged 18 years or older. The measures in this study were (1) sociodemographic variables, (2) variables associated with dermatological and psychiatric disorders and cosmetic procedures, (3) scales measuring quality of life (12-item Short Form health survey, version 2) and (4) BDD (BDD Questionnaire). Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS software version 21. P values less than .05 were considered significant. Results Of the 2091 participants who took the survey, 322 (15.2%) met the criteria of having BDD. The mean age of the participants with BDD was 23.5 (SD 9.6) years. In terms of BDD prevalence, women accounted for 19.9% (284/1421), men accounted for 5.2% (34/653), and students accounted for 25.2% (263/1043). Approximately 46.6% (150/322) of the participants with BDD reported a history of psychiatric comorbidities, including anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, and eating disorders. BDD was significantly associated with female gender, younger age (18-24 years), students, monthly income of less than €500 (€1=US $1.11), and the presence of dermatological and some psychiatric disorders such as depression, anxiety, and eating disorders (P<.05). The number of body parts of concern in participants with BDD was significantly higher than that in those without BDD (4.6 vs 2.2, respectively; P<.001). Regarding the body parts of concern, body fat was the most common concern for both groups with BDD and without BDD, followed by thighs, face, hips, and skin in the BDD group and thighs, teeth, and hair in the non-BDD group. Participants with BDD showed a significantly poorer self-perception of their mental health, irrespective of the presence of any mental disorder (P<.001). Conclusions Our findings showed that the prevalence of BDD in Spain was higher than expected. Further, BDD is frequently associated with other psychiatric disorders, particularly depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, and eating disorder. Participants with BDD had a poorer perception of quality of life associated with mental but not physical health problems. Finally, the perception of quality of mental health life in participants with BDD was independent of diagnosis of any mental disorder.

“…Posteriormente, los analgésicos opioides han seguido la estela de la morfina también en cuanto a su poder de abuso y adicción, especialmente a partir de una carta publicada en el New England Journal of Medicine en 1980, en la cual se minimizaba el potencial adictivo de los analgésicos opioides, y que pudo contribuir a la epidemia de adicción de analgésicos opioides en Norteamérica (Guardia Serecigni, 2018). Algo semejante ha ocurrido con la cocaína, también creada como producto anestésico e ingrediente habitual de elixires y tónicos de principios del siglo XX, que ha terminado constituyéndose en la segunda droga ilegal más consumida en Europa (Observatorio Europeo de las Drogas y las Toxicomanías, 2019), o las benzodiacepinas, consideradas una "epidemia silenciosa" debido al hecho de que un parte significativa de la población general española las consume bajo prescripción médica (Blasco-Fontecilla, 2018) En el segundo caso, las drogas de abuso a las cuales se les acaba encontrando propiedades clínicas, cabría destacar al cannabis, la droga ilegal más consumida en el mundo, cuya incorporación al arsenal terapéutico de oncología en los últimos años no ha estado exenta de polémica (Hill, Palastro y George, 2019).…”
