The results indicate that the mothers whose sons have consumed cannabis and/or cocaine at some time, and that they have smoked tobacco in the last 6 months, they have more depressive symp-toms. It is also more probable than they have consumed alcohol (spirits) lifetime and in the last 6 months, and that they have drunkness, the sons of mothers that have a score above the normal population of reference.Downloads
