Abstract | dc.description.abstract | The present study investigates drug consumption and risk behaviors among female students
between 8th and 12th grade in two communities in the city of Santiago, Chile. Based on
studies of university populations, we hypothesize that the students’ reports of their
consumption of licit drugs will tend to be consistent with their actual use of said drugs
using two methods to investigate consumption, while their consumption of illicit drugs
will be susceptible, and will tend to be under-reported when evaluated through traditional
self-report measures. In order to compare the two methods, a cross-sectional study was
designed that would compare reported drug consumption, first using the peers method,
and then by means of traditional self-report in a group of 350 students. The results show
that women’s reports of licit drug consumption converge using the two methods, while
as earlier suggested, women’s illicit drug consumption was found to be under-reported
when traditional methodologies were used. | en_US |
