RESUMEN

Objetivo:

Explorar empíricamente la presencia de determinados factores como elementos de riesgo para el consumo de cocaína.

Método:

Estudio transversal que compara las puntuaciones obtenidas en un conjunto de ítems que miden las variables de la Teoría de la Conducta Planificada (actitud, norma subjetiva, control conductual percibido e intención conductual) en tres grupos el grupo A está formado por 192 sujetos consumidores de cocaína sin tratamiento, el grupo B está formado por 110 sujetos consumidores de cocaína en tratamiento y el grupo C lo componen 100 sujetos que nunca habían consumido cocaína.

Resultados:

El grupo A puntuó significativamente más alto en todas las variables, mientras que el grupo C fue el que obtuvo menores puntuaciones. El grupo B no mostró diferencias significativas con el grupo A en la variable norma subjetiva, ni con el grupo C en las variables control conductual percibido e intención conductual.

Discusión:

Se subraya la importancia de las actitudes y la norma subjetiva para la explicación del consumo actual de cocaína, pero especialmente, la función del control conductual percibido como factor de riesgo necesario a tomar en cuenta en el diseño de medidas preventivas (AU)
