Description
Summary:The entail between behavior transgressor and consumption of psychoactive substances has been studied in different investigations by the aim to establish a possible causal relation, without up to the date it has come near to definitive conclusions. The aim that we appear in this study is to know the age of beginning to the consumption of some substances, both legal and illegal, inside a penitentiary sample, dividing this one for the number of penitentiary income. There took part 157 prisoners of Villabona'sprision (Asturias), of ages that they include from the 19 at the age of 49, being only women 5,1 %. The number of income in prison has qualified in two groups: Primary (an alone entry in the jail) and recidivism (two ó more income). The analysis of survival realized by means of the procedure Kaplan-Meier, it offers significant differences in the age of beginning of the consumption in some of the considered substances, highlighting the importance of the precocious beginning in the consumption for the backslider prisoner population. La vinculación entre comportamiento transgresor y consumo de sustancias psicoactivas ha sido estudiada en diferentes investigaciones con el objetivo de establecer una posible relación causal, sin que hasta la fecha se haya llegado a conclusiones definitivas. El objetivo que nos planteamos en este estudio es conocer la edad de inicio al consumo de algunas sustancias, tanto legales como ilegales, dentro de una muestra penitenciaria, separando ésta por el número de ingresos penitenciarios. Participaron 157 reclusos de la cárcel de Villabona (Asturias), de edades que abarcan desde los 19 a los 49 años, siendo solamente mujeres el 5,1%. El número de ingresos en prisión se ha clasificado en dos grupos: Primarios (una sola entrada en la cárcel) y reincidentes (dos ó más ingresos). El análisis de supervivencia realizado mediante el procedimiento Kaplan-Meier, ofrece diferencias significativas en la edad de inicio del consumo en algunas de las sustancias consideradas, resaltando la importancia del inicio precoz en el consumo para identificar la población reclusa reincidente.
