本研究的目的是评估巴西南部帕索丰多公立和私立学校学生非医疗使用精神活性药物的流行情况及其危险因素。本研究采用问卷调查的方法，对5057名小学五年级至高中三年级的学生进行了横断面研究。问卷包含有关安非他明、镇定剂、巴比妥酸盐、抗胆碱能药、阿片类药物、食欲兴奋剂和合成代谢类固醇的使用问题。在样本总数中，7.7%的人在一生中使用过镇静剂，6.4%的人使用过安非他明，2.2%的人使用过合成代谢类固醇，1.1%的人使用过巴比妥酸盐。据报道，女学生使用镇定剂和安非他明的情况明显更多，而男性使用合成代谢类固醇的情况更为普遍。儿童和青少年学生的精神活性药物消费模式与成人的模式具有可比性。这项研究的结果表明，有必要将儿童和青少年纳入媒体宣传和其他教育计划中，以防止非医疗使用和滥用精神活性药物。
The objective of this study is to assess the prevalence of and risk factors for the non-medical use of psychoactive medicines among students at public and private schools of Passo Fundo, Southern Brazil. A cross-sectional study was carried out using a questionnaire administered to 5,057 students from the 5th grade of elementary school to the 3rd year of high school. The questionnaire contained questions about the use of amphetamines, tranquilizers, barbiturates, anticholinergics, opioids, appetite stimulants, and anabolic steroids. Of the sample total, 7.7% had consumed tranquilizers sometime during their lives, 6.4% had used amphetamines, 2.2% had used anabolic steroids, and 1.1% had used barbiturates. Female students reported significantly greater consumption of tranquilizers and amphetamines, while anabolic steroid use was more prevalent among males. The pattern of psychoactive medicine consumption among children and adolescents students is comparable with the pattern among adults. The findings of this research suggest the need to include children and adolescents in media campaigns and other education programs to prevent the non-medical use and abuse of psychoactive medicines.
