Parental practices and addictions in the adolescent population

Abstract

Objectives: Identify the protection and risk factors for substance use based on parenting practices. Methodology: The research carried out was descriptive in scope, from a mixed approach (qualitative and quantitative) using the observational, descriptive and cross-sectional method, in turn, the quantitative cut is integrated by applying standardized instruments such as the Parental Practice Scale for adolescents and Depression Scale of the Center for Epidemiological Studies CES-DR, for this, a sample of 57 adolescents aged 15 to 17 years was obtained. Contribution: It was found in the results that the nuclear family is a protection factor, however, in some cases it is the same that becomes a latent risk factor in adolescents, through the impositions generated by the parents, using a parentage style of authoritarianism, coupled with the little communication that exists between family members.
