La COVID-19 ofrece una oportunidad para evaluar el modelo de la Patología del Refuerzo (PR) mediante el estudio de las restricciones sociales y la motivación hacia el uso de sustancias. Objetivos: Este estudio evaluó empíricamente el modelo de la PR en el contexto de una encuesta transversal online. Métodos: Durante el período 14 de marzo-12 de abril 2020, 203 participantes informaron del consumo de sustancias legales e ilegales en el último mes. Se analizaron los cambios en el consumo durante el confinamiento. Se utilizaron distintos indicadores de demanda de sustancias: Breakpoint (i.e., precio al que el consumo cesa), elasticidad (i.e., sensibilidad de la demanda a incrementos en el coste) e intensidad (i.e., consumo en contextos de no restricción). Resultados: El consumo de alcohol en el último mes disminuyó del 71.4% (145/203) al 50,7% (103/203), el de tabaco del 14.3% (30/203) al 12.8% (26/203), y el de cannabis del 8.9% (18/203) al 4.4% (9/203). El uso de sustancias ilegales pasó del 1% (2/203) al 0%. Conclusiones: Se observaron reducciones en el uso de sustancias y un ligero incremento en el nivel de reforzamiento (intensidad y breakpoint) asociado al uso de alcohol y tabaco. Se discuten estrategias preventivas (nudges) y de tratamiento.
