Adolescenții au lăsat deoparte alcoolul și drogurile, dar au o altă dependență

A recent study in Portugal shows a decline in alcohol and drug use among adolescents, but warns of persistent risks for vulnerable youth. The ECATD-CAD 2024 study by ICAD highlights that while overall consumption has decreased since 2019, certain groups still face significant challenges. Social media usage is identified as a major concern, particularly for girls, while boys are more involved in risky behaviors related to video games and gambling. The study also notes that adolescents drinking to forget personal issues may develop harmful consumption patterns. Factors like good academic performance and parental supervision are linked to lower risk behaviors.
