This study aims to analyze the determinants and the trajectories of cannabis use in adolescence. A longitudinal study was conducted with 1,051 adolescents aged 14-18 years who completed a baseline and 6-month follow-up survey based on the I-Change Model. Two cross-sectional and one longitudinal regression analyses were performed to identify which determinants are associated with cannabis use. Then, the five cannabis use trajectories that were found were compared using ANOVA with Tukey's post hoc comparisons. The results showed that at 6 months of follow-up, 669 adolescents had remained non-users, while 187 non-users became users, of whom 121 were experimental and 66 regular users. Data analysis revealed the influence on cannabis use of having boyfriend/girlfriend, sensation seeking, not being convinced about the disadvantages of cannabis use, having peer influence favoring cannabis use and a positive intention to use cannabis in the future. At the beginning, non-users differed on perceptions about the sociocognitive factors from consistent users, but not of the new users. When comparing sociocognitive factors at follow-up, the scenario change, and they are the new users who showed more sociocognitive perceptions favoring cannabis than non-users. Considering the determinants of cannabis use from an integrated behavioral approach can be useful to develop prevention campaigns for this substance. This should provide healthy alternatives to the search for sensations, reinforce a negative attitude towards cannabis use, and influence peer influence and self-efficacy in risky situations/emotions that invite its consumption.</p>","PeriodicalId":55560,"journal":{"name":"Adicciones","volume":"37 2","pages":"141-154"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144627830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nonetheless, we should point out a deficit of psychometric instruments for family evaluation, specifically validated for this disorder in Spanish population. It is necessary to have questionnaires available to evaluate family dynamics, commencing with the quantification of the marital relationship and the parenting exercise which result in design-suitable interventions. The present study aims to validate and determine the clinical applicability of the Cuestionario de Evaluación de las Relaciones Familiares Básicas (CERFB; in English, Basic Family Relations Assessment Questionnaire) in substance use disorder. One hundred and fifty-two couples of Spanish nationality (N = 304 participants) with a child suffering from substance use disorder completed the CERFB as well as other means of family evaluation. The results of the CFA presented the validity of the two-factor structure model of the CERFB of the original version within the general Spanish population. The results of the invariance factor across sex allowed us to assume the configural invariance between the groups. However, the metric invariance based on the sex could not be assumed. The validity evidence based on relations to other variables determined significant correlations between the CERFB and the Dyadic Adjustment Scale and the Parental Bonding Instrument. The reliability of both scales was satisfactory: Marital (α = .93; ω = .93) and Parental (α = .82; ω = .81) Normative data are provided. The CERFB is the first instrument to come about which is validated within the clinical Spanish population and which evaluates the family within substance use disorder.</p>","PeriodicalId":55560,"journal":{"name":"Adicciones","volume":"37 2","pages":"125-140"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144627833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, until recently, patterns of meth addiction among Chinese women were rarely studied. To fill the void, this study implemented a thematic analysis approach to investigate Chinese female meth users' addiction experiences based on 49 semi-structured interview transcripts. The findings reveal that Chinese female meth users generally believe that meth is not physically addictive, but can cause their psychological dependence. Meth use leads to users' psychological enjoyment, and in addition to this, it has other functions. For example, some people use meth as a necessity to relieve stress, keep fit, alleviate pain, cure diseases, and deal with alcoholism. The findings also demonstrate that meth use is indispensable in particular social networks based on participants' socioeconomic backgrounds, especially those from low socioeconomic backgrounds. By understanding their experiences on meth addiction, both formal educational programs and social media exposure are suggested to provide female meth users, especially those situated in high-risk social networks, with adequate and up-to-date meth knowledge. Educational programs are also needed during treatment. Targeted interventions and social support programs are further recommended to help female meth users avoid severe health issues due to meth consumption.</p>","PeriodicalId":55560,"journal":{"name":"Adicciones","volume":"0 0","pages":"113-124"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38170965","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants were 150 adolescents (75 females and 75 males). According to their drinking pattern, subjects were assigned to one of three experimental conditions in each sex: Refrainers-Control (R-Co), Binge Drinkers-Control (BD-Co) or Binge Drinkers-Alcohol (BD-A). After treatment, their stress response was measured throughout the following parameters: cortisol, systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP), heart rate (HR) and perceived stress (PS). A decrease of cortisol levels over time was observed in the present study. Also, the experimental condition was significant for HR, showing the BD-A group higher HR than any other group. Regardless of the experimental condition, sex differences were evident in several measures, males showing higher cortisol levels and higher SBP than females, while females obtaining higher PS scores than males. In conclusion, both the decrease of cortisol levels over time and the gender differences in cortisol, SPB and PS strengthen our previous results, using gender as an experimental variable.
