Abstract
GUZMAN-RAMIREZ, Verónica et al. School climate as a protective factor for substance use in high school adolescents. Rev. Enf. Ref. [online]. 2021, vol.serV, n.8, suppl.1, e21024. Epub Mar 02, 2022. ISSN 0874-0283. https://doi.org/10.12707/rv21024.
Background:
The school climate is a protective factor for substance use.
Objective:
To identify the association between school climate and substance use in adolescents.
Methodology:
Predictive descriptive-correlational study. Single-stage cluster sampling and a sample of 227 students aged 15 to 18 years. A Personal Traits and Drug Consumption Identity Card and the School Climate Survey (MDS3) were applied.
Results:
Participants had a positive perception of safety (OR = 0.904; p < 0.01). There was less alcohol consumption in the last week, explaining 8.2% of the variance. Although a positive school climate does not predict tobacco use, a positive perception of the school environment results in a lower probability of tobacco use in the last year (OR = 0.884; p < 0.05).
Conclusion:
Although a positive perception of safety in the school climate is associated with no alcohol consumption in the last week, it does not predict tobacco use.
