abstract="The disease brought about by the SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19 coronavirus has had an  unprecedented global impact. Confinement to control the outbreak may have mental  health consequences for the most vulnerable in the population, including  adolescents. This study aims to describe and analyze the relationships between the  stress variables, Emotional Intelligence and the intention to use cannabis in  healthy adolescents, before and after the end of the COVID-19 pandemic containment  stage. A comparative correlational study was carried out with validated  self-completed questionnaires through an online platform. The sample is made up of  adolescents (n = 300) aged 13-17 from two different schools in Ponferrada (León,  Spain). The analysis of correlation and differences between the groups indicate that  confinement has had effects on the mental health of the adolescents, specifically on  the emotional manifestations of stress. Furthermore, significant gender differences  were found for stress values and Emotional Intelligence. However, no differences  have been found for cannabis use intention.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
