Resumo:
O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a prevalência do uso de inalantes em adolescentes e sua associação com o uso de maconha, consumo de álcool, condição socioeconômica e gênero. Um estudo transversal foi realizado em uma amostra representativa de 891 adolescentes de escolas públicas e privadas de Belo Horizonte, Brasil. Os dados foram coletados por meio de dois questionários auto-aplicáveis: o Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST) e o Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT C). O Índice de Vulnerabilidade Social, o nível de escolaridade da mãe e o tipo de escola (pública ou privada) foram utilizados para determinar o nível socioeconômico. Os dados foram analisados utilizando o teste qui-quadrado (p < 0.05) e a análise de regressão logística. A prevalência do uso de inalantes foi de 7,9%. Não houve associação entre o uso de inalantes e o nível socioeconômico após a análise de regressão logística. O uso de inalantes por adolescentes esteve associado ao uso de maconha (OR: 4.61; 95% CI: 2.27 – 9.36) e ao consumo abusivo de álcool (OR: 5.02; 95% CI: 2.57 – 9.81).
The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of inhalant use among adolescents and associations with marijuana use, alcohol consumption, socioeconomic status and gender. A cross-sectional study was performed with a representative sample of 891 adolescents from public and private schools in the city of Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Data were collected using two self-administered questionnaires: the Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST) and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT C). Socioeconomic status was evaluated using the Social Vulnerability Index, mother’s education level and type of school (public or private). The data were submitted to the chi-square test (p < 0.05) and logistic regression analysis. The prevalence of inhalant use was 7.9%. No significant association was found between the use of inhalants and socioeconomic status in the logistic regression analysis. Inhalant use among adolescents was associated with marijuana use (OR: 4.61; 95% CI: 2.27 – 9.36) and with binge drinking (OR: 5.02; 95% CI: 2.57 – 9.81).
