This included questions about sociodemographic data, sexual orientation, type of violence, type and quantity of drugs consumed, and suicide.Results: There was a positive association between physical violence and anabolic consumption (p = .001) and tranquilizers (p = .012). In relation to psychological and verbal violence, there was a positive association with the use of tranquilizers (p = .021) and negative with the use of amphetamines (p = .027). Suicide attempts were associated with having experienced physical (p = .03) and sexual (p = .037) violence. Drug use, especially ecstasy, cocaine, marijuana, and tranquilizers, was also associated with suicide attempts (p = .002, p = .031, p < .001, p < .001, respectively). The participants who had already attempted suicide were more vulnerable to experience violence and consume drugs within 30 days prior to the interview (p < .001).Discussion and conclusion: Psychological/verbal violence showed to be associated with the use of amphetamines, while physical violence was associated with a higher consumption of tranquilizers and anabolic steroids. Suicide attempts were more common among participants who had suffered physical violence and who were users of substances such as ecstasy, cocaine, marijuana, and tranquilizers. 2018 artículo científico 0185-3325 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=58257575005 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/582/58257575005/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/582/58257575005/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/582/58257575005/58257575005.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/582/58257575005/movil 10.17711/SM.0185-3325.2018.015 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=582 Salud Mental application/pdf Instituto Nacional de Psiquiatría Ramón de la Fuente Muñiz Salud Mental (México) Num.3 Vol.41 |
