This article aims to systematize the profile of cocaine and crack users in Brazil. The study adopted a literature review of the MEDLINE, LILACS, Cochrane Library databases and CAPES thesis/dissertation database. Data were grouped in thematic categories: national household surveys, surveys of specific population groups, profile of patients that seek treatment, and mortality and morbidity. Within each category the principal findings from the Brazilian literature were described and then discussed. The article concludes that the information on cocaine and crack consumption in Brazil is still incipient, but that the scientific community can already draw on a relevant theoretical corpus that can be used to update current public policies on this issue.
本文旨在梳理巴西可卡因和快克使用者的概况。该研究对MEDLINE、LILACS、Cochrane图书馆数据库以及巴西高等教育人员素质提升协调办公室（CAPES）的论文数据库进行了文献综述。数据被归类为以下主题类别：全国家庭调查、特定人群调查、寻求治疗的患者概况以及死亡率和发病率。在每个类别中，对巴西文献的主要研究结果进行了描述并随后展开讨论。文章得出结论，巴西关于可卡因和快克消费的信息仍处于初始阶段，但科学界已经可以借鉴一个相关的理论体系，该体系可用于更新当前关于此问题的公共政策。
