“…Estos resultados son consistentes con numerosos estudios que han demostrado que el estrés vital predice el consumo de drogas en adolescentes. En particular, los acontecimientos vitales negativos se han asociado al consumo de tabaco (Wills et al, 1996), alcohol (Wills, 1986;Windle y Windle, 1996) y otras drogas (Arellanez-Hernández et al, 2004;Biafora, Warheit, Vega y Gil, 1994;Unger et al, 2001). Windle y Windle (1996), además, encontraron que esta asociación puede ser diferente dependiendo de la magnitud y naturaleza de los acontecimientos estresantes.…”

The aim of this study was to assess the association between stress, cognitive schemas, impulsivity, and substance use in adolescents. A sample of 657 adolescents (367 girls and 290 boys) completed measures of stressful life events, cognitive schemas of grandiosity and insufficient self-control, impulsive style of problem-solving and substance use. The results indicated that stressful life events and the cognitive schemas were significantly associated with substance use. In addition, the impulsive style of problem-solving moderated the relationship between stressors and substance use, this association being stronger among more impulsive adolescents. Finally, the results indicated that boys scored higher on Grandiosity and on the use of marijuana, cocaine, LSD and ecstasy, while girls scored higher on tobacco use (smoking). Despite these differences, gender did not moderate the association between schemas and substance use.

“…Studies (; Mora-Rios & Natera, 2001; Unger, 2001) indicate that the use of alcohol as a tension reducer increases aggressive behavior and other problems. They cited alcohol-related deaths, criminal behavior, health and psychological problems as prevalent among students whose drinking was found to be hazardous; a pattern of alcohol consumption that increases the risk of harmful consequences for the user or the other people in his/her environment.…”

“…Many studies found an association between these dimensions (impaired structure of the family, improper parenting style, insufficient support or family conflict) and different negative outcomes, like poor well-being [8] and behavioral problems [9] . A change in family structure, especially parental divorce, might influence family life considerably in all three of these dimensions (family structure, family culture and family conflict) [10,11] .…”

et al. 2009

Background: The aim of this cross-sectional study was to explore the association between parental divorce and adolescent drunkenness in the last 4 weeks and the contribution of socioeconomic position, family structure, social support from family and well-being to this association. Methods: We obtained data on 3,694 elementary school students from several cities in Slovakia (mean age 14.3, 49.0% males; response rate 93%). Respondents completed questionnaires on how often they had been drunk in the last 4 weeks, whether their parents were divorced, their socioeconomic position (education of parents, family affluence), the composition of the household (one or two parents/step-parents), social support from the family and their own well-being. Results: Parental divorce was found to have an effect on adolescent drunkenness in the last 4 weeks, as well as high socioeconomic position, low social support from the family and high depression/anxiety. The effect of divorce on drunkenness decreased only slightly after adding social support into the model. Conclusion: Our findings indicate that parental divorce has a persistent influence on risk behavior independent of the influence of socioeconomic position and well-being. Parental divorce may increase the likelihood of drunkenness more than other factors such as low parental support and poor socioeconomic position.
