PIP: A questionnaire on drugs was distributed and administered in 25 schools at the university level in Brazil in an effort to empirically substantiate the status and pattern of drug use and misuse by university students for the purpose of providing effective and meaningful intervention. The total number of completed questionnaires was 2020. Stimulants and marihuana are used constantly or frequently by about 1% of the total number. 70% of the students drink alcoholic beverages sporadically or little; 13.1% drink regularly, and 0.9% very frequently. About 2/3 of the students who have used stimulants or marihuana did so before age 19.
