Resumen
El consumo de las drogas o sustancias psicotrópicas ilícitastiene una connotación a nivel mundial, su grado de afectación involucra tanto a paises desarrollado como los que se encuentran en vías de desarrollo, de igual forma no hace distinción de clase social, nacionalidad o etnia . El presente estudio se basa en la premisa de que el hecho de cursar estudios superiores podria representar un efecto protector contra el consumo de drogas lícitas en los jóvenes. En este trabajo se sugiere que el hecho de cursar estudios universitarios contribuye a dotar a la población joven de conocimiento acerca de estas sustancias y a una toma de decisión consciente que los lleve a no consumirlas , representando de esta forma un factor protector contra esta problematica. Para ello se investigó que porcentaje de los estudiantes encuestados son consumidores activos de esta sustancias. Se ha elaborado esta tarea mediante el análisis de estudios relacionados con el tema propuesto de la problemática identificada, la investigación es de tipo analítica, observacional, no experimental correlacional causal, el diseño de esta investigación es de tipo no esperimental transversal. En los resultados se obtuvo una cifra significativamente baja de consumidores en el grupo de estudiantes entrevistados, así mismo se evidenció una relación estadisticamente significativa entre las dos variables, por lo que se concluye que el realizar estudios Universitarios disminuye las probablilidades de consumo de sustancias ilícitas. Finalmente se desarrolla una propuesta de intervención , estrategias de prevención y motivación a los jóvenes a la continuación de desarrollo de estudios profesionales
The consumption of illicit drugs or psychotropic substances has a global connotation, its degree of involvement involves both developed countries and those in the process of development, in the same way it does not distinguish between social class, nationality or ethnicity. The present study is based on the premise that the fact of pursuing higher education could represent a protective effect against the consumption of licit drugs in young people. In this paper it is suggested that the fact of attending university studies contributes to equip the young population with knowledge about these substances and a conscious decision making that leads them not to consume them, representing in this way a protective factor against this problem. To do this, it was investigated what percentage of the surveyed students are active consumers of this substance. This task has been elaborated through the analysis of studies related to the proposed theme of the identified problem, the research is analytical, observational, non-experimental causal correlational, the design of this research is of a non-experimental transversal type. In the results, a significantly lower number of consumers was obtained in the group of students interviewed, as well as a statistically significant relationship between the two variables was evidenced, so it is concluded that university studies reduce the probability of consumption of illicit substances. Finally a proposal of intervention, strategies of prevention and motivation to the young people to the continuation of development of professional studies is developed
