“…The results of this research show the empirical evidence and the need for educational bodies and university institutions to become aware of the current problems of their students about addictions and to implement awareness, sensitization, and health education programs (Kempf et al 2017;MacFadden et al 2020a;Arnaud and Thomasius 2018;Rehbein et al 2019;Pizon 2019) to reduce or eliminate the consumption of these drugs and correct this maladaptive behavior, which coincides with Goal 3.5, "Strengthen the prevention and treatment of substance abuse, including drug abuse and harmful use of alcohol," within Goal 3, "Ensure a healthy life and promote well-being for all people at all ages," of the Sustainable Development Goals (The United Nations 2019;MacFadden et al 2020b).…”

Diverse studies have shown that a significant percentage of the Spanish university population suffers from different addictions. They are both a personal and public health problem if there is not a greater awareness of the risks involved and if the appropriate prevention measures are not taken, among them educational ones. In this context, a descriptive and explanatory cross-sectional study was conducted during the first half of June 2020, coinciding with the period of confinement that occurred in Spain during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Given that this is such an exceptional time, the main objective of this study was to obtain information especially on students’ substance consumption and possible addictions at this time. Knowing the specific situation of this problem in that specific situation may allow for comparative studies in the future. The sample was composed of 310 university students from 14 Spanish universities. The instrument used in the research was the ASSIST questionnaire, developed by the WHO for the detection of alcohol, tobacco, and substance consumption. As result, a moderate and high risk was observed mainly in the following substances: alcohol (36.2%), tobacco (33.2%), cannabis (22.9%), and sedatives (10.3%). Through the logistic regression of the set of drugs, it has been proven that, on the one hand, the addiction to cocaine and sedatives in the family environment and age, on the other hand, are the main predictive variables of drug consumption. The existence of polysubstance abuse was also determined. These data show the need for educational bodies and university institutions to promote awareness, sensitization, and health education programs to deal with this important problem, especially in extraordinary situations, such as the one referred to, which could increase this consumption.

“…An example of a universal early prevention approach is 'CLIMATE SCHOOLS' [43], which is a modular prevention strategy that accompanies the target group over several years and adapts with increasing age. It is an innovative, evidence-based and well functioning system in Australia that has already been successfully implemented in the United States and the United Kingdom.…”

Purpose of review To highlight the interdependence between early childhood trauma, substance use and complex concurrent disorders among adolescents and discuss the delayed response and gaps in the healthcare system. Recent findings High-risk behavior such as suicidality, self-harm and hazardous substance use including overdose and the use of psychotropic substances for self-medication of mental health challenges is a growing concern. These symptoms are often related to early childhood trauma, substance use and complex concurrent disorders. Most countries do not have a youth mental healthcare system, there are no specific guidelines and only few programs addressing high-risk substance use are in place. Summary In addition to the significance of traumatic experience for high-risk substance use and addiction, most parts of the system of care ignore the trauma aspect in treatment of substance use and focus on abstinence. There are hardly any early intervention programs, broader prevention strategies or evidence-based or target-group-oriented treatment offers.
