The questionnaire was answered by 96.6% of the population studied (<em>N</em>=1139).</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> 33.3% of the students stated that they had been offered drugs as gifts and 7.9% stated that they had been offered to buy drugs. Lifetime prevalence were 49.4% for alcohol, 37.6% for tobacco and 24.3% for some drugs such as amphetamines, tranquilizers, marijuana, cocaine, crack or rock, inhalants, methamphetamines or heroin. Prevalence of use in the last twelve months were 56.9% for alcohol, 20.1% for tobacco and 13.2% for other drugs. Prevalence of use in the last month were 35.8% for alcohol, 9.1% for tobacco and 9% for other drugs.</p> <p><strong>Discussion:</strong> the relevance of a bivariate logistic regression analysis is proposed to study the connection between personal or sociodemographic characteristics with drug use. Two routes of action are proposed: a) Psychosocial, brief interventions adapted to the population and b) Socio-political, influence on the social context of conflict and illegality.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Revista Internacional de Investigación en Adicciones}, author={Espinosa-Luna, Carolina and Hernández-Pozo, María del Rocío and Torres-Inguanzo, Marco and González-Ceja, Boris}, year={2021}, month={Aug.}, pages={41–46} }
