abstract="OBJECTIVE: In this study, we provide a descriptive-comparative analysis of legal drug consumption in high school students from a rural area in the province of Tarragona. PATIENTS AND METHOD: A questionnaire of 25 closed-type questions was administered to 569 individuals. Analysis of variables was carried out by using the Chi-square test. RESULTS: We have observed that our prevalence results are similar to those found in other studies, without significant differences between them. In addition to this, use of tobacco and alcohol is determined by many different factors, every factor having a different influence on each individual. CONCLUSIONS: With the results we have obtained, we believe that tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption are determined by multiple factors, mainly psychological and family and social circumstances. We think the problem of alcohol and tobacco use among teenagers should be addressed from a multidisciplinary point-of-view, which would enable us to cover the broad range of factors that influence this pattern of behavior.<p /><p>Language: es</p>",
