The present study was aimed to examine the possible association between the use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs, with the conditions of perceived stress and life quality in a sample of college students. The research was descriptive, qualitative approach, carried out with a sample of 165 university students in the state of São Paulo. The participants answered a questionnaire, available on online platform, containing assessment tools for perceived stress (EPS-10); life quality (WHOQOLbrief); socioeconomic classification (CCEB) and the screening test's involvement with alcohol, tobacco and other substances (ASSIST). To check the possibility of association between variables, logistic regression was used to calculate the crude odds ratios and adjusted odds ratios with the cross for all explanatory variables. Considered the significance level of p <0.05, with a confidence interval of 95% for all tests. Statistical analysis were performed using the Statistical Package PROC LOGISTIC of SAS ® 9.0 software. There was a high alcohol consumption prevalence among students evaluated (99,39%), followed by the use of tobacco (38,18%) and marijuana (26,06%). The use of other illicit drugs was also significant, with percentages above the general population average. The adjusted logistic regression revealed significant associations between higher tobacco use and the variables male, living with family and having no religion. For the use of other drugs (excluding alcohol and tobacco) significant association was observed with the quality of life in the psychic realm, subjects with poorer quality of life in this area showed 9.79 times more likely to use drugs compared to those with better quality. It was observed that about 65% of the students evaluated showed moderate to high stress, but no associations were found between the conditions of perceived stress and drug use. These data demonstrates the importance of greater scientific investment for the development of intervention strategies at the university in order to promote health and prevent drug use among college students.
