Este estudo pretende compreender o papel do percurso escolar no consumo de cannabis e nas
atitudes associadas, comparando estudantes dos ensinos vocacional e geral. Este estudo
pretende, igualmente, verificar a eficácia do Programa Pasa la Vida em função deste
percurso. Participaram 164 adolescentes do 3.º ciclo do ensino básico, geral e vocacional, que
preencheram o Questionário sociodemográfico e escolar, o Questionário Cannabis Use
Intention Questionnaire e o Questionário Cannabis Abuse Screening Test. Os estudantes de
sexo masculino com idade mais avançada e os estudantes do ensino vocacional com maior
absentismo e insucesso escolares apresentam maior consumo de cannabis, um consumo mais
problemático/de risco e atitudes (atitude, norma subjetiva, autoeficácia percebida e intenção)
globalmente mais favoráveis ao mesmo. Quanto mais favoráveis são as atitudes em relação ao
consumo de cannabis, maior é o consumo. O Programa teve maior impacto nas atitudes do
que no consumo de cannabis, sendo diferente em função do percurso escolar. No ensino
vocacional, o impacto foi positivo na atitude e negativo na autoeficácia percebida para a
abstinência, com um tamanho de efeito médio. No ensino geral, o impacto foi positivo na
norma subjetiva e negativo na autoeficácia percebida para o consumo, com um tamanho de
efeito pequeno. Os estudantes do ensino vocacional continuam a apresentar maior prevalência
de consumo e intenção e menor autoeficácia percebida para a abstinência. Estes resultados
reforçam a necessidade de intervir de forma mais precoce e contínua, implementando
programas de promoção de competências pessoais e sociais e programas de prevenção
seletiva em contexto escolar.
This study intends first to understand the role of the education path in the use of cannabis and its related attitudes, by comparing students from vocational education with general education. This study also intends to verify the efficiency of the Program Pasa la Vida depending of the students’ education path. 164 teenagers from the 3rd cycle of basic education, including both vocational and general education, have participated to this study by answering to a sociodemographic and educational questionnaire, Cannabis Use Intention Questionnaire and Cannabis Abuse Screening Test. Older male students as well as students from vocational education with greater absenteeism and school failure appear to have a larger and more problematic use of cannabis and present overall more favorable attitudes (attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control and intention) towards cannabis use. More favorable are attitudes towards use, bigger is the use. This program had a greater impact on attitudes than on the use of cannabis, with some differences depending of the education path. In vocational education, it had a positive impact on attitude whereas it had a negative impact on selfefficacy to avoid using cannabis, both with medium size effect. However, in general education, it had a positive impact on subjective norm but negative impact on self-efficacy to use, with a small size effect. Students from the vocational education still have bigger prevalence of use and intention but less self-efficacy to avoid use. The results of this study reinforce the need to intervene earlier on and more continuously, implementing promotional programs of personal and social skills and programs of selective prevention at school.
