| description | The drug phenomenon is considered a serious public health consequence that affect the health of individuals. Studies report that the Behavioral Control is the concept that best predicts the behavior of drug use, defined as personal beliefs about the ability to control the difficulties existing facilities or to consume any drugs. The objective was to verify the relationship of behavioral control over drug use in adolescents studying in school, under the hypothesis: Adolescents who have consumed any drugs show significantly higher scores on behavioral control than those who have not consumed. A descriptive correlational study was conducted in 443 adolescents in the metropolitan area of Monterrey, NL. The Adolescent Survey instrument for Drug Control and Behavioral applied. The test of Mann-Whitney U (U=1482.0, p<.001) showed that adolescents who have used drugs will have significantly higher scores (M= 22.96, Mdn = 15.54) of low behavioral control that adolescents who have not used drugs (M= 2.47, Mdn = 1.00). Behavioral control explained its effect on drug use at some time in life (R2 = 27%). |
