Implementación del proceso de adopción de precauciones para la prevención de farmacodependencia en escolares : sistema de clasificación de etapas.

This research worked the methodology of the Precautions Adoption Process (PAP) in order to modify three risk substance abuse factors (information about psychoactive substances, assertiveness, and resist group pressure) in school children. An assessment method was designed to permit to classification  of the participants original position about their behavior in each of the risk factors. Workshops were also designed to modify each risk factor according to the PAP procedures for every stage. Therefore, the participants had suitable workshops depending oh the stage they were classified  at the beginning. The design was experimental. The  experimental  group had 120 participants and the control group 105 participants. The instruments were:  an overall assessment pre-post of each risk factor in order  to get  a stage classification. The results showed thet there  was not a strict progress stage sequence  as the  PAP points out. In the  experimental group, more subjects  reached the  final stage although they presented  a high perceived vulnerability  ath the  beginning, contrary to the hyphotesis. Neither, there were differences  between pre and posts measures, except  for the group pressure variable.
