Abstract

The behavior of adolescence often leads young people to risks, especially substance use, with implications for the health and normal development of young people.  We intend to analyze the behavior of young students in relation to substance use.  It is a descriptive, transversal and analytical study, with a quantitative approach. The data collection instrument shall consist of the Global School-Based Studying Health Survey (GSHS), to which characterization issues were associated. The sample is made up of 212 young students. Mostly female (54.7%), between the ages of 12 and 18, and lives with both parents. (72.2%). They attend between the 7th and 12th grades. They reported having started drinking alcohol 62.7% of the students; with onset before the age of 13 (28.8%); in the last month, 32.5% of adolescents consumed it for at least one or two days; drank more than 5 drinks, 11.3%; they buy it in bars, in the market or in the street; already got drunk 22.6%. and; in 58.5% of households there is at least one alcohol consumer. Already smoked 31.1% of respondents; started after 16 years (10.8%); said to have smoked in the last 30 days 8.5%. Drug use is lower (4.7%), when compared to alcohol and tobacco consumption. Most of them start consumption between the ages of 12 and 13; in the last month was consumed by 4.3%; is purchased or acquired through friends or family. Association between consumptions and the existence of friends and consumer parents was verified. The importance of family and friends as determinants of consumption is highlighted in this paper. Knowledge of these determinants is of paramount importance in the planning and implementation of preventive measures and should therefore be taken into account at the decision-making level
