world, currently its use and abuse are among the main
causes of morbidity and mortality, in this sense the present
work addresses the social representation of drug use, due
to the need to know in depth the way in which individuals
construct a common meaning to consumption, determined

improve existing programs to intervene in a more effective

and their main characteristics is given, later the social
representations of the consumption of tobacco, alcohol and
other drugs are presented, to give some final
considerations. |
