Sumario:The main goal is to identify the prevalence and pattern of cocaine consumption among young people. The results obtained from surveys of a sample of 2139 university students served as input to harness new results through the personal interviews of a reduced sample of young people. The 81.1% of the students have never tried cocaine, 15.1% claim to have used it without considering themselves as consumers and 2.8% say they have stopped using it. Male respondents had a more frequent pattern of experimental consumption. The influence of social siblings is a crucial factor and habitual cocaine use is more frequent among those who experimented more precociously with this drug. The sporadic use of cocaine is not perceived as problematic behaviour. These results show the need to delay the age at which young people first consume cocaine as long as possible and to properly inform them of the risks associated with cocaine consumption.
