Abstract

Aim:  to  estimate  the  prevalence  of  drug  use  among  school adolescents  and its  association  with sociodemographic  and sexual variables.  Method:  a cross-sectional  study  conducted  through  a  structured  interview with  239  elementary school students from a public school in the state of Bahia, Brazil. Data were processed by the Stata program, version 12, and analyzed according to descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: the prevalence of adolescents who had used drugs in the last month was 25.92%. There was a statistical association between variable drug use and religious identification  (PR=1.88  and  95%CI=1.03  -  3.41),  study  series (PR=2.0  and  95%CI =1.03   -   3.85)   and   work   (PR=3.68   and  95%CI   =1.08-12.54).   Conclusion:  high prevalence  of  drug  use  among  school-age  adolescents  and  its  association  with  low schooling,  lack  of  religious  practice,  and  precocious  work  and  sexual  intercourse  were identified.
