The inquiry was conducted in emergency care units at public institutions. The questionnaire submitted to the physicians in charge was based on the one prepared by researchers belonging to the Argentine Council for Scientific and Technical Research used in the Psychiatric Epidemiology Project. The questionnaire was adapted for this study in cooperation with the professionals in charge of each hospital´s administration.

La investigación que se presenta constituye el primer estudio de monitoreo de urgencias por abuso de alcohol y drogas en la consultas de 10 a 14 años y de 15 a 19 años de edad, de la ciudad de Córdoba. Se indagó en instituciones referentes en la emergencia del ámbito público. La encuesta dirigida a los médicos tratantes fue elaborada para investigaciones realizadas por el Programa de Epidemiología Psiquiátrica del Consejo de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas, Argentina. Previo a la implementación de dicha encuesta se adaptó la misma para esta investigación, en coordinación con los profesionales responsables de cada hospital. El tiempo de implementación de la encuesta fue de nueve días lo cual incluyó dos fines de semana del mes de junio, y fue realizada en forma simultánea para ambos grupos etarios (n=281). Conclusiones: en la población diana de interés de este estudio, “adolescentes entre 10 a 19 años”, los motivos más claros de ingreso a la emergencia asociados al consumo de sustancias psicoactivas fueron los accidentes de tránsito, intentos de suicidios y situaciones de violencia, mostrando que en la emergencia no hay edades “libres de problemas de sustancias psicoactivas”.
