“…É sabido que os usuários de outras drogas, na maioria das vezes, já utilizaram álcool e tabaco, logo é essencial que as ações para evitar o uso de drogas ilícitas e psicotrópi-cas sejam concomitantes às de combate ao fumo e ao uso de bebidas alcoólicas. Essa importante associação é apresentada por Arillo-Santillan et al 35 , em estudo no México, onde o uso de tabaco esteve altamente relacionado ao uso de álcool e drogas ilícitas.…”

Este trabalho teve como objetivo estudar o comportamento dos estudantes do ensino público municipal de Gravataí, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, em relação ao consumo de álcool, tabaco e outras drogas, investigando fatores associados. Foi utilizado delineamento transversal com amostra aleatória representativa de 1.170 escolares da 7ª série e estratificada por região do município. As associações entre desfechos e fatores em estudo foram testadas com regressão de Cox bivariada, modificada para estudos transversais. Foram encontrados, respectivamente, 60,7%, 16,9% e 2,4% de uso na vida de bebida alcoólica, tabaco e outras drogas. Nos últimos trinta dias, o álcool também apresentou a maior prevalência (33%), seguido pelo tabaco (4,4%) e outras drogas (0,6%). O estudo revelou a importância da família e dos amigos na experimentação das substâncias pelos jovens. A prevalência do uso de tabaco e álcool nos últimos trinta dias esteve associada à presença de sentimentos de tristeza, solidão, dificuldade para dormir e ideação suicida. O consumo de outras drogas esteve associado ao sentimento de solidão e ideação suicida.

“…Researchers in Mexico have examined baseline data from an ongoing cohort study of a representative sample of adolescents for different factors that might be associated with being experimenters (having tried a cigarette one or two times) compared to being a regular smoker (having smoked in the past 30 days). The results of this cross-sectional study of Mexican adolescents found that depression, as measured by the Zung scale, was associated with smoking, but only for adolescents who were regular smokers, not with experimenting with tobacco use (Arillo-Santillan et al, 2005). Among the adult, urban population in Mexico, current tobacco users have been found to have twice the odds of reporting elevated depressive symptoms than individuals who have never used tobacco (Benjet, Wagner, Borges, & Medina-Mora, 2004).…”

“…Studies have found large disparities between male and female rates of substance use in Mexico, with males at much greater risk (Arillo-Santillan et al, 2005). Larger gender differences have been found in Mexican middle school students' reports of recent use of tobacco and alcohol than in their lifetime rates of substance use (Floyd et al, 2005), suggesting that although girls and boys may be experimenting with substances at a similar rate, there is a great disparity in their reports of regular use.…”

ABSTRACT. Objective:Research is limited on the strategies that Mexican adolescents use to resist use of alcohol, cigarettes, and other drugs. Cultural norms and gender socialization patterns concerning the acceptability of use of various substances by women and men infl uence Mexican youths in their responses to offers of substances. This study explored the drug-resistance strategies used by youth in the central Mexican state of Guanajuato, how their use predicted patterns of substance use, and how these associations differed by gender. Method: The analysis used cross-sectional survey data from 702 (60% male) students enrolled in eight alternative secondary education school sites in 2007. Participants reported the drug-resistance behaviors they used to deal with offers of alcohol, cigarettes, and marijuana. Past-12-month use of the four drug-resistance strategies employed most often by U.S. youth-refuse, explain, avoid, and leave (R.E.A.L.)-and any other strategies were measured. Composite measures of lifetime and recent use of alcohol, cigarettes, and marijuana were predicted in multivariate ordinary least squares regression analyses. Models were tested with and without controls for the frequency that respondents were offered substances and introduced gender interaction effects. Results: Controlling for substance use offers, more frequent use of a wide repertoire of R.E.A.L. strategies predicted less consumption of alcohol and cigarettes, and using non-R.E.A.L. strategies predicted less marijuana consumption. All of these relationships were either stronger for males than for females or signifi cant for males only. Conclusions: Gender differences exist in the impact of R.E.A.L. strategies on substance use among youth in Mexico. Despite a narrowing gender gap in substance use in Mexico, large exposure to and susceptibility of substance use remains. Developing effective prevention programs in Mexico based on teaching appropriate drug-resistance strategies and enhancing communication skills could aid in reducing substance use among Mexican adolescents.
