Abstract

The use of psychoactive drugs and its consequences is a cause of great concern in society today. This research project aims to determine the prevalence of drug use among adolescents and the factors associated with this use, so that we can have a better dimension of the phenomenon. The school environment is the most appropriate place to obtain the study sample and for conducting potential activities to prevent drug use.
