Resumen

La policía sueca ha puesto en marcha un programa educativo de resistencia al abuso de drogas destinado a los alumnos de 7º, 8º y 9º, siendo los propios agentes quienes se encargan de ponerlo en práctica dentro de las aulas. Los autores de este estudio han analizado los efectos del programa VÄGA, una versión del DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) americano. Alrededor de 1.800 alumnos suecos de 22 centros de enseñanza secundaria respondieron en tres ocasiones diferentes, de forma anónima, a una serie de preguntas relacionadas con sus actitudes y experiencias con las drogas.La curiosidad y la accesibilidad que perciben los jóvenes de esas edades en relación a las drogas ilegales tienen unos efectos estadísticamente significativos sobre las actitudes y las experiencias individuales de los alumnos con dichas sustancias. Ni las actitudes hacia las drogas ni las experiencias con las mismas de los que han participado en el programa DARE un año antes difieren de las de los jóvenes de su edad que no habían tomado parte en el programa. Finalizamos el estudio con una breve discusión sobre qué medidas debería tomar la policía para impedir la accesibilidad a las drogas y cuál debería ser su papel en las escuelas.
