摘要
Background: Marijuana consumption is a public health problem. Aim: To determine the life time prevalence of marijuana use among Colombian adolescents and the factors associated with its consumption. Material and Methods: Secondary analysis of data from a study aimed to determine the prevalence of smoking. A self-administered and anonymous questionnaire was answered by 814 adolescents aged 14 +/- 2 years ( 439 women). Results: Ten percent of respondents consumed marijuana at least once in their life. A logistic regression analysis showed that professing a non-christian religion, being smoker and having an age over 12 years, was associated with marijuana consumption. Conclusions: There is a high frequency of marijuana use among these adolescents.
