Diagnosis of Brazilian school teachers about the prevention and use of crack by the new communication technologies

Abstract

This article presents a study on awareness about the use of illicit drugs, more specifically crack, first seen as a health problem, allowing a reflection on the possibilities of improvement in the training process for professionals in the area of education, with emphasis on the public network. Based on the information obtained by the research carried out with a sample of teachers, the massive availability of databases and scientific journals is a salutary alternative to the dissemination of scientific and systematized knowledge. The populations studied are part of a region concentrated around centers of excellence in research and dissemination of information through Information and Communication Technologies as innovative tools at the service of educational institutions in this multidisciplinary initiative. The study leads to a worrying reality, considering the importance of the professionals studied in the prevention and care to the drug user in the figure of the student.
