Abstract
In this mixed study, the relationship between social models in the municipality of Itagüí and the consumption of psychoactive substances among ninth, tenth, and eleventh-grade students in 10 public educational institutions during 2022 was explored. A sample of 350 students from urban areas was selected. For the qualitative component, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10% of the sample, which were subjected to thematic content analysis to identify patterns and recurring perceptions. In the quantitative component, the Psychoactive Substance Consumption Self-report (AICA) and the Social Skills Questionnaire were applied. These data were analyzed using logistic regression analysis to determine the relationships between variables. The results indicate that young people display emotional instability, correlated with a deficit in social skills. Furthermore, the distorted perception of family dynamics and vulnerability to group pressures seem to favor early initiation into alcohol and other substance use. The prevalence of psychoactive substance use among young people in Itagüí is alarming, with 65% of students reporting having consumed some substance in the last year. This rate exceeds national and international figures recorded in previous studies. Alcohol consumption, in particular, is of concern, as most students identify this type of consumption as habitual.
