“…In developing countries, including Brazil, alcoholic beverages are a major factor in disease and mortality, with their deleterious impact being considered as between 8% and 14.9% of all health problems of these nations (8) In this perspective, the school constitutes an important space for discussions and interactions, where young people spend most of their time, presenting a key role in the discipline and education of children and adolescents and contributing to the construction of their principles of life. It is noteworthy that in the context of the drug phenomenon in schools, it is understood that information is not sufficient to promote the health of students (7)(8)(9)(10) .

Este amplo programa de pesquisas deve motivar ainda mais pesqui-sadores em diversas partes do nosso país, se pretende-se realmente melhor entender e lidar com um dos maiores desafios de todos os tempos, de proporções e custos mundiais (Meloni & Laranjeira, 2004;Shedler & Block, 1990; United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime [UNDOC], 2006).…”
