Resumen

Desde hace tiempo sabemos que diversos aspectos del funcionamiento familiar pueden incidir de modo importante en el consumo de drogas de los hijos tanto promoviendo la protección y resiliencia como induciendo el riesgo hacia el consumo. Esta revisión analiza los estudios publicados en los últimos 30 años sobre la influencia de la desorganización familiar en el consumo de drogas de los hijos. En función de los resultados encontrados consideramos que las familias desorganizadas (caracterizadas por enfermedad mental de los padres, consumo de sustancias de los padres y/o familias no intactas) tienen más probabilidades de tener hijos consumidores de drogas, tanto legales como ilegales. Finalmente, señalamos la necesidad de mejorar la conceptualización y evaluación del término desorganización familiar, así como otras limitaciones metodológicas encontradas en los distintos estudios empíricos revisados.
It is well known that various aspects of family functioning can influence children’s drug use, both by promoting resilience and by increasing the risk of use. This review examines studies published in the last 30 years about the influence of family disorganization on children’s drug use. Based on the results, we consider that disorganised families (charactirezed by parents’ mental illness, parents’ substance use and/or non-intact families) are more likely to have children who are drug users, both legal and illegal. Finally, we stress the need to improve the conceptualization of family disorganization and its assessment, and point out other methodological limitations found in the empirical studies reviewed.
