Introduction: Substance-related problems affect some individuals who engage in psychoactive substance use. In recent decades, the global demand for treatment in rehabilitation programs has varied depending on the substance for which individuals seek treatment. In the Dominican Republic, there is a lack of studies indicating which substances have the greatest impact on the population, with an emphasis on the demand in treatment centers. Methodology: This is a descriptive study with a quantitative approach using a non-experimental cross-sectional design. Data were collected from records archived at a private rehabilitation center in Santo Domingo, covering all patients admitted for substance use between 2019 and 2022, with a total of 337 cases. The purpose of this study is to analyze the frequency distribution according to the substance that led each patient to seek treatment and to compare trends over the years. Results: Over the four years, admissions related to cannabis use ranged from 44.2% to 51.6%. When categorizing the data by age range, out of the total sample (N=337), 123 patients were in the 14 to 24 age group, of whom 80.5% were admitted for cannabis use. When isolating the group with dual diagnosis and classifying the patients by disorder type, 88.9% of these patients with a psychotic disorder were admitted for cannabis use. Conclusion: A consistently high demand for treatment related to cannabis use was observed over four consecutive years. Additionally, a significant number of young individuals with cannabis related problems also exhibited other mental health disorders.

Para este estudio se utilizó una muestra de 30 personas entre 20 y 24 años de ambos sexos. Se les administraron pruebas para medir impulsividad, road rage y un cuestionario para obtener datos sociodemográficos que pudieran ser significativos según las investigaciones recientes de este tema. En los resultados de esta investigación vemos como hay una relación estadísticamente significativa entre el índice de impulsividad y el numero de accidentes, r = .45, p = .01. También se demostró que hay una relación estadísticamente significativa entre el índice de impulsividad y el índice de conducir agresivamente, r = .43, p = .01.

Transforming raw data into a tidy dataset for further analysis

This report focuses on an exploration of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) storm database. This database records the characteristics of major storms and weather-related events in the United States, including data on fatalities, property damage, and crop damage, from April of 1950 to November 2011. The primary objective is to conduct an exploratory analysis to determine which types of events resulted in the highest number of fatalities and which types caused the most significant economic impacts.
