This qualitative study aimed to investigate the view of adolescents following rehabilitation programs about the consumption of illicit drugs. It was carried out in two Non-Governmental Organizations in Costa Rica. The focus group technique was applied, aiming to allow adolescents to express their feelings and experiences regarding illicit drug consumption. Results showed that the perception adolescents have of themselves is focused on a process of change and development of their identity and experimentation, which influence them in taking negative decisions like drug consumption. The relationships they have with their parents are conflicting, as they come from dysfunctional homes and marginal communities. Friends represent support for their difficulties and lead to drug consumption. The state of Costa Rica needs to define public policies to improve the lives of this population.
这项定性研究旨在调查参与康复项目的青少年对非法药物消费的看法。该研究在哥斯达黎加的两个非政府组织中开展。采用了焦点小组技术，旨在让青少年表达他们对非法药物消费的感受和经历。结果表明，青少年对自己的认知集中在身份认同和尝试的变化与发展过程上，这影响他们做出诸如药物消费等负面决定。他们与父母的关系存在冲突，因为他们来自功能失调的家庭和边缘社区。朋友在他们遇到困难时给予支持，但也导致了药物消费。哥斯达黎加国家需要制定公共政策来改善这部分人群的生活。
