• Resumen

  • The consumption of psychoactive substances has become a social problem that affects young people between the ages of 14 and 18. The consumption of this type of substances entails multiple disadvantages both in the personal development of the subjects themselves and in other areas of their lives such as family and academic life. It is estimated that certain variables such as social skills can help prevent or reduce substance use in adolescence. The present systematic review study aims to identify whether social skills act as a moderating factor in the consumption of psychoactive substances in adolescent students. The methodology has been developed by consulting the Web of Science and Scopus databases using the following search formula:

    “consumption AND social skills AND adolescents”. The documents were filtered according to the designated inclusion and exclusion criteria and a total of 6 studies were obtained in the final search. The results obtained indicate that there is an indirectly significant relationship between social skills and substance use, due to the fact that adolescents who obtain higher levels of social skills in turn tend to have lower levels of substance use behaviours. The need to implement different tools in educational institutions to promote social skills in young people is discussed.
