Objective: to identify effective approaches for the management of adult crack users in the context of primary health care. Methods: we conducted a systematic review of major electronic databases and additional studies. All of the studies included the theme of “crack” or “crack/cocaine” in the research context, and had been published in the last 10 years. The evidence evaluation was performed by two independent researchers, using different instruments for observational compared to interventional studies. Results: sixteen out of 2,017 studies were included for evidence analysis, six of which were observational, while 10 were intervention studies. Two observational papers presented evidence of good quality and only one interventional article had moderate quality evidence. Conclusion: this systematic review did not obtain high quality evidence that could guide the context of primary health care. Evidence that was generated before this review remains as a reference.
