Teacher behavior in the presence of drug use in the university environment.

Abstract

The existence of drug use in the university environment is a growing problem and it is difficult to tackle; for this reason, teachers cannot identify the warning signs of drug use within the university context. The objective was to determine the teachers' behavior in the presence of drug use in the student community, an ethnographic study. Three main categories were obtained as results, concluding that the professor is evident from a position distant from the problems posed, refusing a possible involvement in the subject from the care point of view also recognize that poor support of family members in the environment of students interferes in student behavior.
