Behaviour of toxic habtis in a group of patients attended at the Faculty of Stomatology
Keywords:
Toxic habitsAbstract
In order to know the behaviour of toxic habits, an observational descriptive studywas conducted in 100 patients that received attention at the Faculty of Stomatology
in March, 2006. 2 instruments were used: a questionnaire made according to the
ends of the investigation, and a questionnaire of diagnostic indicators (QDI). There
was a predominance of females over males in the study group, where a high
educational level was observed. Knowledge of legal drugs (coffee, tobacco and
alcohol) was inadequate in most of the patients. Alcohol, tobacco and coffee were
the most consumed toxics in our study group. The majority of the surveyed began
to consume toxics when they were 15-20 years old, and amusement was the most
frequent reason to start the consumption. In our study there was a predominance
of the group of risk consumers over the social consumers.
