Systematic review of universal family prevention programs: Analysis in terms of efficacy, retention and adherence /Revisión sistemática de programas de prevención familiar universal: Análisis en términos de eficacia, retención y adherencia

Adherence is an important aspect of the effectiveness of family interventions for universal drug prevention. Some approaches suggest adherence assessments should be improved because they are partial and do not take into account all dimensions. The objective of the study is to analyze adherence and retention measures used in family intervention programs for the prevention of substance use in young people aged 10-14 years. To this end, the literature was reviewed on universal programs which have obtained good preventive results. The information sources consulted are: PubMed, PsycINFO (EBSCO), PsycArticles (EBSCO), Social Work abstracts (EBSCO), CINAHL (EBSCO) SocIndex (EBSCO), Scopus, Academic Search Premier (EBSCO), SCIC-ISOC, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, ERIC, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, Project Cork, Researchgate, and consultation with experts. The search results show 21 studies belonging to 6 family programs: Strengthening Families Program 10-14, Parents Who Care, Family Check-Up, Linking Lives Health, Prevention of Alcohol use in Students, and Orebro Prevention Program. The studies analyzed provide little information on the different elements involved in adherence. Retention and differential attribution are the data that appear most frequently, while other aspects such as active participation do not appear in the studies. The results are discussed and recommendations are made to improve the evaluation of adherence and retention in family prevention programs.

La adherencia es un aspecto importante para la eficacia de las intervenciones familiares de prevención universal de drogas. Algunas aproximaciones sugieren mejorar las evaluaciones sobre adherencia, ya que resultan parciales y no tienen en cuenta todas sus dimensiones. El objetivo del estudio es analizar las medidas de adherencia y retención utilizadas en los programas de intervención familiar para la prevención del consumo en jóvenes de 10-14 años. Para ello se revisa la literatura sobre programas universales que han obtenido buenos resultados preventivos.
