Abstract (English): Introduction The purpose of this article is to show the principal contributions of the social network perspective to the understanding of drug use behavior and its treatment, based on a review of studies undertaken using this approach. The study of social networks has become a new means of explaining the causality of numerous social phenomena. It has proved to be a valuable contribution to the understanding of various problems related to individuals' physical and mental health, including drug use behavior. The literature has shown that the study of social networks contains the key to understanding drug use initiation and progression over time, since it has been proved that persons that use and abuse drugs are often surrounded by friends, relatives and acquaintances that abuse these substances or approve of this behavior. Paradigm of social networks and drug consumption This approach comprises a set of theories, methods and techniques used to understand social relations and the way these relations can influence individual and group behavior. This perspective assumes that the social network influences its members' behavior to a certain extent and that the degree of influence will depend on the way this network is shaped, the person's level of integration within the latter, the position the individual occupies, how ho is linked to other members of the network and how important these links are in his life. Social network studies analyze the relationships established by individuals by examining their social network, defined as the set of significant individuals, family, friends and relationships established at school, university or work. They also analyze various components of social networks, such as their structure, type and the quality of the links and their function. Within the field of the study of addictive behavior, the social network perspective has proved useful in examining the pattern of individuals' relationships within their groups, analyzing the impact of this pattern on the level of similarity in substance use in these groups, and evaluating the influence of the peer group on behavior. Influence of social network on drug use behavior Various studies have repeatedly pointed out the influence of social networks on the various stages of addiction (starting, habituation and stopping). They have also shown that drug users' networks undergo significant changes during each of these stages. Several social factors have been linked to the starting, use and abuse of licit and illicit substances. The family, the prevailing norms in social networks and peer influence are the social aspects that have been most positively associated with this behavior. … [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): Introducción En la bibliografía se ha señalado que el estudio de las redes sociales contiene claves importantes para comprender el inicio y la progresión del uso de drogas a lo largo del tiempo, pues se ha identificado que las personas que usan y abusan de las drogas están rodeadas a menudo de amigos, familiares y/o conocidos que abusan de estas sustancias o personas pie aprueban esta conducta. El propósito de este artículo es mostrar las principales aportaciones de la perspectiva de redes sociales para comprender la conducta de uso de drogas y su tratamiento, partiendo de la revisión de estudios desarrollados según esta aproximación. Paradigma de las redes sociales y consumo de drogas Esta aproximación abarca un conjunto de teorías métodos y técnicas usadas para comprender las relaciones sociales y el modo en que afectan el comportamiento individual y grupal. En el campo de estudio del comportamiento adictivo, la perspectiva de la red social ha servido para examinar las relaciones que establecen los individuos con la familia con las amigos, en la escuela y/o en el trabajo, y para evaluar la influencia de esas relaciones en la aparición y el desarrollo de la conducta de uso de drogas. Influencia de red social en la conducta de uso de drogas En varios estudios se ha señalado reiteradamente la influencia de la red social en las distintas etapas de la carrera adictiva (inicio, habituación y cese). Asimismo, se ha descrito que las redes de los usuarios de drogas presentan modificaciones importantes en cada una de estas etapas. Características de las redes sociales de los usuarios de drogas Se han realizado varios estudios para conocer cómo son las redes de los usuarios de drogas. Estos trabajos se basan en análisis comparativos de las características de las redes de personas que utilizan drogas, respecto de aquellas que no las usan. En general, se ha identificada que las redes de consumidores son diferentes a las de la población normal, pues son más pequeñas e incluyen un número mayor de miembros que usan drogas. Asimismo, se ha observado que su estructura y composición varíe por tipa de droga y que es mayor el apoyo que reciben los hombres de sus redes sociales que las mujeres. … [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
