Los objetivos del estudio son: describir los patrones de consumo de cannabis (problemático y no problemático) en la población joven de España y explorar como el consumo problemático se relaciona con el riesgo percibido, y los factores ambientales y sociodemográficos. Se llevó a cabo un diseño transversal basado en datos de la edición de 2015/2016 de la Encuesta Domiciliaria sobre Alcohol y Drogas (EDADES). La encuesta incluyó participantes de entre 15 y 35 años que habían consumido cannabis en al menos una ocasión durante el último año y que completaron el Cannabis Abuse Screening Test (CAST) (N = 1674). Se consideró el consumo problemático (CAST >= 7) como variable dependiente. Como variables independientes se consideraron el riesgo percibido, los factores ambientales (disponibilidad de la sustancia y exposición a situaciones de consumo) y los factores sociodemográficos. Se llevaron a cabo análisis descriptivos de los patrones de consumo y se realizaron modelos univariables y multivariables de Poisson. Todos los análisis se estratificaron por género. El consumo problemático fue más frecuente en hombres (38,9 %) que en mujeres (23,2 %). Mientras en hombres el consumo problemático se relacionó con factores ambientales y nivel educativo, en mujeres se asoció con riesgo percibido y desempleo. Dada la representatividad de los datos y la validez de las medidas, estos resultados podrían tener importantes implicaciones para el desarrollo de medidas preventivas contra el consumo problemático de cannabis. The relationship of problematic cannabis consumption with perceived risk, socioenvironmental and sociodemographic factors among youth in Spain is not well known. The aims of this study are: 1) to describe the patterns of cannabis consumption (problematic and non-problematic) in Spanish youth, and 2) to explore whether problematic cannabis consumption is related to perceived risk, environmental factors and individual sociodemographic characteristics. A cross-sectional design based on data from the 2015/16 Spanish Household Survey on Alcohol and Drugs (EDADES) was performed. Individuals between 15 and 35 years old having used cannabis during the last year with a complete Cannabis Abuse Screening Test (CAST) were included (N = 1,674). Problematic consumption (CAST >= 7) was considered as dependent variable. Perceived risk, environmental factors (availability of the substance and exposure to consumption situations) and sociodemographic factors were taken as independent variables. Descriptive analyses of consumption patterns were performed and univariable and multivariable Poisson regression models were done. All analyses were stratified by gender. Problematic cannabis consumption was more frequent among men (38.9 %) than among women (23.2 %). While among men, problematic use was related to environmental factors and educational level, among women it was associated with perceived risk and unemployment. Problematic cannabis consumption among Spanish youth is associated with different types of gender-related factors. Due to its representativeness at the population level and the validity of the measures, these results might have important implications on the development of prevention strategies targeted at problematic cannabis consumption. |
