Crack cocaine has been a major public health problem in Brazil due to the individual and social harms and risks deriving from its use. This article aims to assess the characteristics of drug scenes in the capital and Midwest of Santa Catarina state. The project used the Time-Location Sampling. Between January and June 2011, 41 crack cocaine scenes were mapped in capital of Santa Catarina, whereas 33 were mapped in the Midwest of that state. Such scenes were randomly selected to be observed, as well as their days and shifts (time periods/day) for in-depth observation. Overall, 98 scenes/shifts were observed in the capital and 62 in the Midwest. First-hand reports were logged as field notes into notebooks. Analyses of the empirical material were based on Bardin's content analysis, and findings were compared and contrasted with Brazilian and international literature. Most crack cocaine users were adult males. In the capital, a substantial fraction of the users lived in the streets, but in both settings most interviewees have used multiple substances. In the Midwest, most scenes occurred at night, whereas in the capital scenes occurred in all shifts. Risk practices associated with the use of crack cocaine were: association of multiple drugs, prostitution, pipe sharing and sexual favors in exchange for the substance.
由于使用可卡因会对个人和社会造成危害与风险，强效可卡因一直是巴西的一个重大公共卫生问题。本文旨在评估圣卡塔琳娜州首府和中西部地区毒品交易场所的特点。该项目采用了时间-地点抽样法。2011年1月至6月期间，在圣卡塔琳娜州首府绘制了41个强效可卡因交易场所的地图，在该州中西部地区绘制了33个。这些场所及其日期和班次（时间段/天）被随机挑选出来进行深入观察。总体而言，在首府观察了98个场所/班次，在中西部地区观察了62个。第一手报告以现场记录的形式记录在笔记本中。对实证材料的分析基于巴尔丁的内容分析法，并将研究结果与巴西和国际文献进行了比较和对照。大多数强效可卡因使用者为成年男性。在首府，相当一部分使用者露宿街头，但在这两个地区，大多数受访者都使用过多种毒品。在中西部地区，大多数交易场所的活动发生在夜间，而在首府，交易场所的活动在所有班次都会发生。与使用强效可卡因相关的危险行为包括：多种毒品混用、卖淫、共用烟斗以及以性交易换取毒品。
