Résumé
The scope of this study was to establish the prevalence of inhalant use among adolescents and its association with marijuana use, alcohol consumption, socioeconomic status and gender. A cross-sectional study was performed with a rep- resentative sample of 891 adolescents from public and private schools in the city of Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Data were collected using two self-admin- istered questionnaires: the Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST) and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT C). The socioeconomic status was eval- uated using the Social Vulnerability Index, moth- er’s education level and type of school (public or private). The data were analyzed using the chi- square test (p < 0.05) and logistic regression anal- ysis. The prevalence of inhalant use was 7.9%. No significant association was found between the use of inhalants and socioeconomic status after the logistic regression analysis. Inhalant use among adolescents was associated with marijua- na use (OR: 4.61; 95% CI: 2.27 – 9.36) and with binge drinking (OR: 5.02; 95% CI: 2.57 – 9.81).
