This study aims to describe the use of prescribed and non-prescribed medications and associated factors among adolescents living in rural, quilombolas and non-quilombolas communities in the interior of Bahia, Brazil. This is a population-based survey with 390 adolescents between 10 and 19 years old in 2015. Prevalence and odds ratio for use of prescribed and non-prescribed medication, and multiple analysis was conducted by Multinomial Logistic Regression. Among the interviewees, 13.6% used only prescribed medications and 14.4% only used non-prescribed medications. Quilombolas demonstrated a greater diversity of pharmaceutical specialties used. The low prevalence of medication use in both groups of adolescents suggests less access to these products. Despite this, it was observed the irrational use of medication, mainly as self-medication. Quilombola adolescents, although they belong to the same area of coverage of other communities, presented different associated factors when compared to the non-quilombola group: the presence of toothache in the last 6 months and have had a regular source of care increased the use of prescribed medications.
本研究旨在描述巴西巴伊亚州内地农村、夸雷罗波拉人和非夸雷罗波拉社区青少年的处方药和非处方药使用情况及其相关因素。这是一项基于人群的调查，于 2015 年调查了 390 名 10 至 19 岁的青少年。使用处方药和非处方药的流行率和优势比通过多项逻辑回归进行了分析。在受访者中，13.6%的人仅使用处方药，14.4%的人仅使用非处方药。夸雷罗波拉人使用的药物种类更多。两组青少年的药物使用率都较低，这表明他们获得这些产品的机会较少。尽管如此，人们还是观察到了药物的不合理使用，主要是自我用药。夸雷罗波拉青少年虽然属于与其他社区相同的覆盖区域，但与非夸雷罗波拉组相比，他们的相关因素有所不同：过去 6 个月有牙痛和有常规医疗来源增加了处方药的使用。
