“…El consumo de anfetaminas 128 y tranquilizantes 119,128 ha sido más frecuente en adolescentes de estratos altos. En estudios en los que se ha indagado el consumo de drogas en general (alcohol, tabaco y sustancias ilegales), se ha observado que éste es más elevado en los estratos altos 124,125,130 . En tres estudios 119,128,131 se reportó que el uso de inhalantes es más frecuente en sujetos de estratos bajos.…”

El objetivo fue analizar la producción científica realizada en América Latina que indaga el impacto de la condición socioeconómica sobre los trastornos mentales y el uso o dependencia a sustancias. Se revisaron bases de datos internacionales y regionales. En la mayoría de los estudios se ha observado que en adultos y adolescentes pertenecer a estratos socioeconómicos bajos se asocia con mayor riesgo de trastornos mentales. El consumo de alcohol es mayor entre las personas con mejores condiciones socioeconómicas; en el caso del abuso y la dependencia al alcohol se observa una tendencia opuesta, aunque la evidencia para los últimos es menos contundente. En adolescentes el tabaquismo es más frecuente entre los que provienen de hogares con mejores condiciones socioeconómicas; sin embargo, entre los adultos la mayor probabilidad se encuentra entre los de peor situación económica. En adultos el consumo de drogas ilegales es más frecuente entre las personas de nivel socioeconómico inferior. Las drogas médicas tienden a ser más consumidas por adultos y adolescentes con mejor situación socioeconómica. El uso de solventes es más frecuente entre adolescentes de estratos bajos.

“…5 Several studies using anonymous self-administered questionnaires have been carried out with the objective of studying the prevalence of drug use. 3,8,10,11,17,18 The Brazilian Center for Information on Psychotropic Sampling was systematic, stratified (public and private schools, ensino fundamental (1 st -8 th grades) and ensino médio, and day and night shifts), and with a probability proportional to the size (number of students) of all schools in the urban area of the city with ensino médio. The sampling universe was composed of 24 schools, of which 12 were run by the state government, 9 were private, two were federal, and one was municipal, and comprised 27,990 students enrolled between 5 th and 11 th grades, which correspond approximately to the 10-19 years age group.…”

“…14,16 The Brazilian literature highlights especially the importance of sociodemographic factors, which are the subject of most studies. 10,11,17,18 In addition to these factors, Carvalho et al, 6 in a national sample of students, identified domestic violence and the quality of family relationships as important factors related to drug use, while Baus et al 3 found an association between drug use and parents' divorce and not living with parents.…”

ObjectiveTo assess factors associated with drug use among adolescent students from schools providing secondary education. Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out in Pelotas, Southern Brazil, in 1998. An anonymous, self-administered questionnaire was answered by a proportional sample of 10-19-year-old students, enrolled in primary (5 th grade and further) and secondary classes in all public and private schools of the urban area which providing secondary education. Schools were visited up to three times in order to reach absent students. Results were expressed as prevalence ratios (PR). Results 2,410 students were interviewed, losses amounting to 8%. The prevalence of drug use (except alcohol and tobacco) in the last year was 17.1%. After confounder control, associations remained between drug use and parents' divorce (PR=1.46; 95% CI: 1.18-1.80), poor relationship with father (PR=1.67; 95% CI: 1.17-2.38), poor relationship with mother (PR=2.71; 95% CI: 1.64-4.48), open-minded father (PR=1.36; 95% CI: 1.08-1.72), drug user in household (PR=1.61; 95% CI: 1.17-2.18), abuse (PR=1.62; 95% CI: 1.27-2.07), having been mugged or robbed in the previous year (PR=1.38; 95% CI: 1.09-1.76) and absence of religious practice (PR=1.31; 95% CI: 1.07-1.59). ConclusionsThe study suggests associations between several family characteristics and drug use by adolescents, providing useful information for a complete understanding of this problem in Brazil.

“…An indication of the magnitude of this use may be obtained from epidemiological surveys, which are essential to the framing of public policies and are internationally acknowledged as useful (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7). Many regional studies in Brazil have expressed concern over the use of psychotropic drugs among students (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16).…”

The consumption of psychotropic drugs among Brazilian secondary school students was examined by comparing data from four surveys using a questionnaire adapted from the WHO's Program on Research and Reporting on the Epidemiology of Drug Dependence. Students filled out the form in their classrooms without the presence of teachers. The target population consisted of 10-18-year-old students (on average, 15,000 students responded to each survey) in Brazil's ten largest state capitals: Belém, Belo Horizonte, Brasília, Curitiba, Fortaleza, Porto Alegre, Recife, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, and São Paulo. Among the legal drugs, lifetime use (use at least once during life) of tobacco was increased in seven cities (the exceptions were Brasília, Porto Alegre and Rio de Janeiro). There was also a significant increase in frequent use of alcohol (six times or more per month) in 6 of the cities, from an average of 9.2% in 1987 to 15.0% in 1997. With respect to illegal drugs, there was a significant increase in lifetime use of marijuana (a 3-fold increase from 2.8% in 1987 to 7.6% in 1997). Cocaine use increased 4-fold over the survey period (0.5% in 1987 to 2.0% in 1997). Lifetime use of cocaine significantly increased in eight capitals (except Recife and Rio de Janeiro). However, frequent cocaine use increased in only three capitals (Belém, Fortaleza and Porto Alegre), from an average of 1.0% in 1987 to 3.6% in 1997. Lifetime use of medications such as anxiolytics and amphetamines increased 2-fold on average over the survey period. Comparing the four studies, the main conclusion is that there were significant increases in the frequencies for lifetime use, frequent use and heavy use of many drugs
