title: [Factors related to drug consumption in children's population].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  To analyse the correlates of drug consumption in children's population.
  
  
  METHODS
  Analyse interviews corresponding to children younger than 15 years old of the Catalan Health Survey (n = 2,433).
  
  
  RESULTS
  The 25% consumed some drug in the previous 2 days. The factors related to drug consumption were low age, living in Barcelona (OR = 1.3), reporting double coverage (OR = 1.6), physician visits in the past 15 days (OR = 2.4), and reporting health problems.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Drug consumption in children is high. It seems necessary to improve the education of families and health professionals related to drug consumption.
