Abstract

The use of psychoactive drugs and it's consequences, has brought concern in current society. This research project aims to determine the prevalence of drug use among adolescents and associated factors, so we can have a great dimension of the phenomenon. School environment is the ideal place to have samples and make eventual activities to prevent drug use. The methology used has been widely tested in many studies in Brazil; this will facilitate comparison between this study and other research.
