title: [The influence of psychoactive substance consumption in the family context on students' self-esteem].
abstract: This study aimed to correlate students' self-esteem in the sixth year of basic education in Chiguayante state schools in Concepción-Chile with psychoactive substance consumption in the family. This non-experimental, correlational and cross-sectional study was carried out in a sample of 303 children. An instrument with sociodemographic data and Garcia's Self-Concept Inventory in School (1995) were used for data collection. In general, 89.1% of the students displayed high global self-esteem. This result was repeated when the group of children who reported on psychoactive substance consumption (no matter which mode) in the family was compared with the group of children that did not mention this situation. As we did not observe any significant differences between the groups, we concluded that moderate consumption of any psychoactive substance would not influence the self-esteem of students at this educational level.
