Entre los individuos vulnerables están quienes tienen desordenes por el uso de sustancias. La adicción puede ocurrir de muchas maneras como las adicciones conductuales.

Los resultados mostraron que previo al confinamiento físico el 38,67% presentaban adicción a Internet mientras que el 61,33% presentaban conducta de riesgo. Los datos durante el confinamiento variaron, el 8,16% mostraron adicción a Internet, el 51,02% no mostró adicción, y el 40,08% fueron sujetos de riesgo. Discutimos las implicaciones para estudiar, prevenir y tratar las adicciones conductuales.
