Recent studies have pointed that it is necessary to define the impact of specific dimensions of the social-economic context that can work as risk factors regarding drug addiction. This study aimed to verify potential relationships between the drug addiction during adolescence and the social-economic level. A total of 568 adolescents participated in this study answering an anonymous self-filled questionnaire. The analyses involved the description of the variable distribution in the sample and statistical analyzes to determine the differences found. Contrary to the common sense, adolescents from the higher social classes presented a significant higher perceptual of alcohol, tobacco, weed and solvent consumption when compared to their counterparts from lower social classes. These data suggest the importance of studies that seek to clarify the possible influences of the social-economic status on the consumption of drugs among adolescents.
最近的研究指出，有必要确定社会经济背景中特定维度的影响，这些维度可能作为药物成瘾的风险因素。本研究旨在验证青少年时期的药物成瘾与社会经济水平之间的潜在关系。共有568名青少年参与了这项研究，他们回答了一份匿名的自填问卷。分析包括对样本中变量分布的描述以及用于确定所发现差异的统计分析。与常识相反，与来自较低社会阶层的青少年相比，来自较高社会阶层的青少年对酒精、烟草、大麻和溶剂消费的认知明显更高。这些数据表明，旨在阐明社会经济地位对青少年药物消费可能产生的影响的研究具有重要意义。
