- Abstract
Objectives: to know the attitudinal differential towards substance use among adolescents and young adults from Ambato, Ecuador and the effect of their evolutionary transition. Method: descriptive, comparative, incidence and cross-sectional study using the Self-report of Psychoactive Substances. Sample: 711 participants (50.5% men and 49.5% women), students from schools (70.6%) and universities (29.4%) from the city of Ambato. Results: most of the participants (85%) show unfavorable attitudes towards substance use. There are attitudinal differences in the rejection of substance use, in the admiration of non-users and in the perception of maturity that consumption contributes. The transition from adolescence to adulthood has an effect on favorable attitudes towards substance use. Conclusion: Evolutionary transition affects the attitudinal change, making them become more favorable towards the execution of consumption.
