Resumen

Objetivo: Estimar la prevalencia del uso concurrente de alcohol, tabaco y drogas ilícitas entre los estudiantes de una universidad pública de un municipio del Sur de Brasil así como evaluar los factores asociados con esa práctica. Métodos: Estudio transversal realizado con estudiantes de grado entre noviembre de 2017 y julio de 2018 a los cuales se les ha dado un cuestionario digital auto aplicado. La relación entre las variables dependientes uso concurrente de alcohol, tabaco y drogas ilícitas y uso concurrente de alcohol y drogas ilícitas ha sido analizada por la regresión logística binaria con intervalo de confianza del 95%. Resultados: De los 1.824 universitarios, el 92,0% ha consumido alcohol en la vida, el 11,0% fumaban, el 43,9% ha utilizado por lo menos una droga en la vida y el 23,3% por lo menos una en los últimos 30 días. El consumo concurrente de alcohol, tabaco y drogas ha sido del 5,2% y se ha asociado con la clase económica más alta (p=0,0003), la experiencia con la droga antes de los 18 años de edad (p=0,0013) y asistir a cursos de ciencias exactas y tierra/ciencias agrarias (p=0,0386). La prevalencia del uso concurrente de alcohol y drogas ha sido del 13,6% asociado con la clase económica más alta (p=0,0000), el género masculino (p=0,0323), la depresión (p=0,0001), la experiencia del alcohol antes de los 18 años de edad, asistir al curso de lingüística, letras y artes (p=0,0314) y vivir solo/con los amigos (p=0,0000). Conclusión: El consumo concurrente de alcohol y drogas ha sido más alto que el consumo concurrente de las tres sustancias; y factores como la experiencia con drogas antes de los 18 años de edad y ser de la clase económica más alta se han asociado.
