Identify the existence of statistically significant differences by sex in attitudes, predisposition to substances and exposure to alcohol, tobacco and other drugs; and know the relationship between the variables in mention. Design. Quantitative, descriptive, correlational and comparative study by sex with the use of Self-Report of Consumption of Psychoactive Substances, the Questionnaire of attitudes toward alcohol and illegal drugs and the scale of exposure to substances. Participants. 502 teenagers, men and women belonging to four schools in Ambato city, students between the 1st and 3rd year of high school. Results. Differences were found by sex (p <0.05) with greater presence in men in the attitudes towards consumption t=-2.07 and the disposition t=-2.00; As in the exposure to alcohol X 2 = 11.74; tobacco X 2 = 10.41; and to cannabis X 2 = 8.59. Attitudes and personal disposition towards consumption are correlated with exposure to tobacco T=-,23 and T=-,20; and to cannabis T=-,334 and T=-,25 respectively. Conclusion. Cognitive aspects of substances are significantly associated with behaviors of exposure to tobacco and cannabis especially.

Objetivos: Verificar el modelo del GHQ-12 de un solo factor, y determinar la fiabilidad y validez. Diseño: Estudio cuantitativo instrumental con análisis multivariados de los ítems, factorial y de consistencia interna con el Cuestionario de Salud General de Goldberg de 12 ítems. Muestra: 587 universitarios (71.4% mujeres), con una media de edad M = 21.2 años, de las ciudades de Ambato (50.5%) y Cuenca (49.5%) en Ecuador y de tres centros universitarios. Resultados: Se confirma el modelo unidimensional con errores correlacionados del GHQ-12 X2(39) = 65.7; X2/Df = 1.7; GFI = .96; CFI = .96; NFI = .92; RMSEA = .053 [.029 – .075]. La fiabilidad de la prueba es adecuada ω = 0.84 y converge con el Bienestar Psicológico r = .674. Conclusiones: El GHQ-12 presenta evidencias de validez para uso en evaluaciones sobre salud mental con base en la muestra investigada.
