Illicit drugs with sexual abuse during childhood are responsible for considerable morbidity in the world. The results show that sexual abuse was reported by 8.9% [95% CI (6.1%, 11.8%)] of respondents. The prevalence of illicit drugs (Cannabis, Cocaine, Heroin or Ecstasy) in the last year was 15.5 % [95% CI (11.8%, 19.2%)]. After controlloling for sex, age and origin of the students, the Generalized Linear Models determined that female students who were sexually abused during childhood are 2.3 [p=0.01, 95% (1.21, 4.55)] more likely to using illicit drugs compared to women who did not suffer from this kind of abuse. These results highlight the extent of sexual abuse in childhood and its relationship, long-term consumption of illicit drugs, and develop preventive actions that aim to minimize these problems.
