FERNANDEZ ROMAR, Juan Enrique y HERNANDEZ MELENDREZ, Digna Edelsys. Validation of a diagnostic methodology for drug uses at the local level. Rev Cubana Med Gen Integr [online]. 2019, vol.35, n.3 Epub 01-Sep-2019. ISSN 1561-3038.
Introduction:
The growing diversity of problems associated with drugs use has become essential to the development of methodologies for the diagnosis of their local expression at the health and social levels.
Objective:
To validate the Methodological Guide for the elaboration of local diagnoses of problems associated to drugs use.
Methods:
It was conducted a consultation to experts on the considered methodology in January, 2016. It was used Google Form for the management of a survey form with closed and open questions. The closed answers were processed with the statistical resources of Google Form and the open were coded for analysis of simple content of the speeches by the Atlas-ti 6.2. program.
Results:
It was consulted a sample of 20 experts from eight countries and eight different academic disciplines with inscriptions in South American and out of the region countries. Under the majority and consensual opinions of the experts, the guide was validated and recognized as a valuable instrument for the development of local assessments.
Conclusions:
It is considered that the methodology studied currently represents the best option for the implementation of a local diagnosis of health problems associated with the use of drugs in a small town.
