Abstract(s)
O presente estudo surge na necessidade de avaliar o grau de risco do consumo de substâncias lícitas e lícitas num só instrumento validado para Portugal. Assim, terá como principal objetivo contribuir para a validação do instrumento Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test para a população portuguesa, uma vez que se apresenta como um instrumento que avalia um amplo leque de substâncias (lícitas e ilícitas). A amostra é constituída por 584 indivíduos que foram alvo de intervenção na Comissão da Dissuasão para a Toxicodependência. Sendo que os dados foram obtidos através de um questionário sociodemográfico e do próprio instrumento ASSIST. A metodologia adotada é de natureza quantitativa, para ir de encontro aos objetivos desta investigação e das caraterísticas do ASSIST. Face aos resultados, obteve-se uma consistência inferior face à de validações de outros países como França e Espanha, uma diferença significativa ao nível da idade no indicador de abuso das ilícitas. E por fim, o cumprimento dos scores obtidos face aos scores máximos delineados pela v.3 do ASSIST. Estes resultados podem estar associados com as caraterísticas da amostra, que maioritariamente homogénea, uma vez que é apenas constituída por indivíduos que foram alvo de intervenção na Comissão da Dissuasão para a Toxicodependência.
The present study shows the need to evaluate the degree of risk of the consumption of licit and licit substances in a single instrument validated for Portugal. Thus, it will have as main objective to contribute to the validation of the instrument Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test for the Portuguese population, since it is presented as an instrument that evaluates a wide range of substances (licit and illicit). The sample is made up of 584 individuals who have been targeted by the Comissão da Dissuasão para a Toxicodependência. The data were obtained through a sociodemographic questionnaire and the ASSIST instrument. The methodology adopted is of a quantitative nature, in order to meet the objectives of this investigation and the characteristics of ASSIST. In view of the results, there was a lower consistency compared to the validations of other countries such as France and Spain, a significant difference in age in the indicator of illicit abuse. And finally, the performance of the scores obtained against the maximum scores outlined in v.3 of ASSIST. These results may be associated with the characteristics of the sample, which is mostly homogeneous, since it is only made up of individuals who have been the target of intervention in the Comissão da Dissuasão para a Toxicodependência.
