Há milênios os seres humanos utilizam substâncias para alterar a sua consciência. O uso destas substâncias altera a atividade cerebral, podendo causar a dependência química, acarretando prejuízos sociais e individuais. O objetivo foi identificar na literatura nacional os fatores de proteção ao consumo de substâncias psicoativas. Trata-se de revisão integrativa, sendo selecionados 11 artigos científicos publicados entre os anos de 2000 a 2016. Os resultados concluem que os fatores de proteção mais relevantes são a informação, a família e a escola, porém, estas instituições somente são capazes de desempenhar seus papéis quando bem estruturadas, remetendo í necessidade da implementação de políticas públicas capazes de desenvolver e apoiar o núcleo familiar e escolar.
