Abstract:
We developed a database to assess Chile's substance use control policies implemented in the 2000-10 decade. The database includes the measurement of consumption of substances such as alcohol, tobacco, and drugs (cannabis, cocaine, and "pasta base" (crack)), individual, relationships, and environmental factors related to substance use, and variables that measure the implementation of laws regulating its use. For the construction of the database, we used information from three sources: i) the biannual National Survey of Drug Consumption for the general population of the National Service of Prevention and Rehabilitation for Drug and alcohol consumption (SENDA) from the Chilean government, ii) the cases filed in local police courts by group of offenses from Chile's Ministry of Justice reports, and iii) the regional imprisoned population from Chile's Correctional Services reports. In the case of the first data source, a data curation process was established to construct this unique database from 1994 to 2018, identifying variables measured systematically over time, standardizing variables' operationalization, and adjusting responses to prespecified flows in each year. On the other hand, substance use control laws enacted in 2004 (alcohol), 2005 (drugs), and 2006 (tobacco) were operationalized as categorical and continuous variables as indicators of its implementation.
