Cannabis is an illegal psychoactive substance that's use is widespread among adolescents. During adolescence, many changes can cause stress. In this phase, the group of friends becomes increasingly important, being a situation of vulnerability for the beginning of cannabis use, either as an escape mechanism or due to peer's influence. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to describe and analyze the structure of the consumption and friendship network, the intention to use cannabis, and the stress in a secondary school class.
An online platform with validated self-reported questionnaires were used for data collection.
The sample consisted of adolescents ( = 20) aged 14-16 from a third-year class of compulsory secondary education in Ponferrada (León, Spain). Significant differences were obtained concerning consumption intention and the different network metrics in both the friendship and consumption networks. Subsequently, the representation of these networks was carried out.
Social Network Analysis is a very useful tool that provides a picture of the context in which adolescents are located. In the consumption network, there are central actors who have not yet consumed cannabis; this is a crucial moment to implement prevention strategies.
大麻是一种非法的精神活性物质，在青少年中广泛使用。在青春期，许多变化会导致压力。在这个阶段，朋友群体变得越来越重要，成为大麻使用开始的脆弱时期，无论是作为一种逃避机制还是由于同伴的影响。因此，本研究的目的是描述和分析消费和友谊网络的结构、使用大麻的意图以及一所中学班级的压力。
使用带有经过验证的自我报告问卷的在线平台进行数据收集。
该样本由来自西班牙莱昂庞费拉达的一所三年级义务教育的青少年（n = 20）组成，年龄在 14-16 岁之间。在友谊和消费网络中，在消费意图和不同网络指标方面都得到了显著差异。随后，对这些网络进行了表示。
社会网络分析是一种非常有用的工具，可以提供青少年所处环境的图片。在消费网络中，有一些尚未使用大麻的核心参与者；这是实施预防策略的关键时刻。
