dc.description.abstractObjective: This study aims to investigate the prevalence of drug use and related factors in university students. Methods: This study was carried out in Mersin, Turkey. Data forms were filled in by 1767 students. Results: 905 (52.3%) of the 1767 participants were male. Their median age was 21.0, and 120 (6.8%) of the participants were found to have used drugs at least once in a life time; 77 (4.4%of them once in the last year. The coefficients of the increase rates for having used drugs at least once in a lifetime can be listed as follows: Presence of friends in the social environment who use drugs, 10.55 times (p < .001); being an active smoker, 4.78 times (p < .001); active alcohol consumption, 13.36 times (p < .001). The following variables appear to be the coefficients of increase rates for using drugs at least once in the previous year: having somebody who uses drugs around, 12.71 times (p < .001); being an active alcohol consumer, 10.38 times (p < .001) and parental separation, 2.64 times (p < .01). Conclusions: In this study it was determined that cigarette/alcohol use and the effects of social environment are the most important factors in drug use in university students.
