Results <strong>of</strong> the documentary research <strong>in</strong> PortugalEPIDEMIOLOGICAL STUDIESThere is little <strong>in</strong>formation concern<strong>in</strong>g the situation <strong>of</strong> use <strong>of</strong> <strong>ecstasy</strong> <strong>in</strong> Portugal.However we call special attention to two studies on this subject done <strong>in</strong> the last 2 years(1995 to 1997):1) A group <strong>of</strong> students <strong>of</strong> the “Universidade Nova de Lisboa”, who were study<strong>in</strong>gPublic Health <strong>in</strong> “Faculdade de Ciencias Sociais e Humanas”, made a research with asample <strong>of</strong> 455 youngsters between 15 <strong>and</strong> 25 years old (1995).This work aimed to evaluate how much Portuguese Students between 18 <strong>and</strong> 25knew about <strong>ecstasy</strong>, their op<strong>in</strong>ion about it <strong>and</strong> if they had used it. So, the objectives wereto know about:• How much people knew about that drug, its effects, tolerance, how to use it <strong>and</strong>the risks associated with its consumption.The op<strong>in</strong>ions people have about theconsumption <strong>of</strong> Ecstasy.• To evaluate its consumption we want to study the prevalence <strong>of</strong> consumers <strong>in</strong> thestudied group, their characterisation, places, they buy it or use it <strong>and</strong> the price <strong>of</strong>Ecstasy, its frequency <strong>of</strong> consumption <strong>and</strong> probable association with other drugs.Results <strong>and</strong> conclusions:–Although most <strong>of</strong> the <strong>in</strong>quired had already heard about this drug, its effects <strong>and</strong>how to use it, only a small percentage knew about its evil effects.–Potential consumers also have no knowledge <strong>of</strong> the risks associated withconsumption. So we fear a rise <strong>of</strong> consumption with an evolution to <strong>in</strong>ternationallevels.–It is urgent to <strong>in</strong>tervene with <strong>in</strong>formative <strong>and</strong> pedagogical action among youngsters<strong>in</strong> order to alert them for the risks <strong>of</strong> Ecstasy.–In our population universe we obta<strong>in</strong>ed a prevalence <strong>of</strong> 5,3% <strong>of</strong> consumption. Theplaces where it is mostly used (discos, bars) have to do with the effects people wantto have with its consumption.–The pr<strong>of</strong>ile <strong>of</strong> our consumer is a male youngster between 22 <strong>and</strong> 25 years <strong>of</strong> agewho buys Ecstasy <strong>in</strong> discos or through friends, who knows noth<strong>in</strong>g about the risks<strong>in</strong>volved <strong>and</strong> pays between 5.000$00 <strong>and</strong> 7.500$00 for a doses us<strong>in</strong>g it usually <strong>in</strong>association with other drugs.171
