Ações preventivas ao uso de drogas no âmbito escolar nas regiões do Brasil: Revisão de literatura.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate drug use prevention actions in public and private schools in dif-ferent regions of Brazil. To achieve the objectives, a literature review was carried out, based on a search in a reliable database: CAPES Periodicals. To select the articles, the following keywords were used: drugs, school, Brazilian regions; drugs, education, Brazil. After screen-ing the articles, 10 works were selected. And these articles were organized in table form. The analysis found that adolescence and youth are the period most susceptible to the use of illicit drugs, as it is a more delicate phase in terms of social and emotional issues. This is because they value their groups, relationships and are in conflict with themselves and their families. It is noteworthy that the first experience of adolescents is between 10 and 18 years old. As for prevention actions, some regions have some theoretical interventions in their schools and oth-ers that are more interactive, the latter being more effective in the context of the studies ana-lyzed, as they manage to work on students' social skills. It was noted that the training of in-terdisciplinary professionals demands urgency in all schools in different Brazilian regions and is an urgent action to be taken in all schools in different regions.
