Abstract

Objective: to verify the consumption of psychoactive drugs among university students entering the health area of ​​a private higher education institution in the Federal District. Methods: quantitative, descriptive, exploratory, observational and cross-sectional study carried out between February and March 2019. A sociodemographic questionnaire and the Test for Screening Involvement with Smoking, Alcohol and Other Drugs were applied. Results: research conducted with 242 students showed a high rate of alcohol consumption, followed by the use of tobacco derivatives, marijuana and hookah. Conclusion: it was found that, calculating the Prevalence Ratio between the use of alcoholic beverages and tobacco, the former occurs 2.2 times more than the latter. However, when calculating the Prevalence Ratio between the desire or urgencies to consume them, it was observed that this occurs twice as often with tobacco derivatives in relation to alcoholic beverages, inverting the use of these substances.
