SCOPPETTA, ORLANDO  and  ORTIZ GARZON, ELIANA. Ecological Models of Development applied to the consumption of illicit drugs: a systematic review. Psicol. caribe [online]. 2021, vol.38, n.2, pp.167-188.  Epub Dec 13, 2021. ISSN 0123-417X.  https://doi.org/10.14482/psdc.38.2.158.1.

The consumption of illicit drugs is a matter of social relevance and public health. Ecological models enrich the explanation of variations in the consumption of illicit substances, by facilitating the inclusion of individual factors and the context in which people develop. This rapid review aims to identify the concepts of ecological models used in research on drug use, what are the levels of determination expected and what factors associated with the consumption of drugs of a personal, family and social nature. A dozen denominations were identified for the ecological models, from of 22 manuscripts included in the final phase of the review, as well as levels of personal, family and social context determination. Ecological models are outlined as flexible, dynamic conceptual structures with the potential to sustain comprehensive public policies with better results.
