Abstract:

The study aimed to identify the risk indicators associated with the consumption of illegal drugs by schoolchildrenpublic schools in a community in the south of Brazil. This is a cross-sectional no-experimental conducted with 535 students of primary schoolchildren, representatives of six public schools. Data were collecteda questionnaire in the months between October, 2011 and March, 2012. The results were presented by simple and relative distribution of frequency and odds ratio (OR) and the intervals of confidence 95% were calculated to verify the association between the dependent and independent variables. In addition, a multivariate analysis was performed for the outcome \"have you ever used illegal drugs?”.The univariate analysis demonstrated association between family income, color, period in which the child studied, failure to pass annual tests, use of methods of prevention, smoking habit and knowing someone who uses drugs, were shown to be associated with the outcome of having experimented with the use of illicit drugs. After multivariate analysis, the smoking habit was the only indicator significantly associated with the question of having made use of illicit drugs. The results indicate that the smoking habit is an important indicator of the predictive risk for the use of illegal drugs.
