Abstract
A partir de variables relativas a la ocupación del tiempo de ocio y sus hábitos
de consumo de drogas, este estudio se propone identificar diferentes
subgrupos de estudiantes universitarios que permitan definir estrategias
que eviten el inicio del consumo de drogas y su reducción ajustadas a
sus preferencias e intereses. Utilizando como método de clasificación de
conglomerados K medias se identifican seis conglomerados de estudiantes
bien diferenciados entre sí e internamente estables en función de sus hábitos
de consumo de drogas y ocupación del tiempo de ocio. A continuación
se aplica el test de chi cuadrado de Pearson, encontrándose relaciones
significativas entre la variable tipo de conglomerado y las estrategias preventivas
preferidas. Finalmente, el análisis de regresión logística binaria
permite identificar estrategias preventivas favorables y desfavorables según
el conglomerado. En conclusión, se observan relaciones de dependencia
entre los hábitos de consumo y ocupación del tiempo de ocio de cada
subgrupo. La oferta cultural y deportiva se entiende como una medida
atractiva para subgrupos de estudiantes que practican deporte y/o disfrutan
con la actividad cultural, mientras que conglomerados más pasivos
prefieren la oferta de asignaturas con propósitos preventivos. No obstante,
todo ello ha de entenderse en el marco de una estrategia de prevención
universal consciente de la pluralidad de la comunidad universitaria y atenta
a sus demandas.
By using data relating to student leisure activities and drug consumption habits, this study aims to identify different university student subgroups that will enable us to define universal and selective strategies to prevent students from taking up drugs and reducing drug consumption that fit in with their tastes and interests. We used the K-means clustering method to identify six clearly distinctive student clusters which are internally stable for drug consumption habits and leisure activities. When the Pearson chi-square test is applied, significant relations are found between the cluster type variable and the students» preferred preventive strategies. The binary logistic regression analysis is used to identify favourable and unfavourable preventive strategies according to the cluster. In conclusion, dependency relations between consumption habits and leisure activities are observed in each subgroup, along with the students» preferred preventive measures. In this regard, the cultural and sporting activities available are attractive to subgroups that play sports and/or enjoy cultural activities, while those clusters that are more passive in their leisure time prefer subjects that are more directly preventive in nature. Nevertheless, all this must be seen within the framework of a universal prevention strategy that considers the diversity of the student community and is sensitive to its demands.
