Abstract

Introduction: Doing a review of the international literature we find that there are countries that work in drug addiction prevention, under a community model, such is the case of Spain and Portugal. Reviewing the technical literature in Ecuador, we have not been able to find and identify efficient prevention programs that have been designed from a community approach; for this reason, this research proposes to analyze the feasibility of preparing a community guide adapted to the reality of the Jaime Roldós Aguilera housing cooperative, in the Metropolitan District of Quito, in which updated strategies can be transmitted around the prevention of consumption of psychoactive substances. Materials and methods: For the present investigation, a structured survey of eight questions was applied to assess the knowledge of the inhabitants of the Jaime Roldós Aguilera housing cooperative about drug dependencies. The research methodology has an experimental, descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach, this data collection technique was carried out with a sample of twenty family opinion leaders from the community. It is vitally important to mention that there are no local studies on drug dependence, therefore it is a contrasted empirical study. Results: The present study focused on the perception of family leaders of community opinion regarding the knowledge of drug addiction and its risk factors. Conclusion: As a conclusion we have considered pertinent, to propose and design a guide consisting of four components with the following themes: Drugs and Addictions, consumption patterns, adolescence / risk and protection factors, early intervention of thedrug use, for the Jaime Roldós Aguilera housing cooperative.
