Resumo: Objective: To identify the prevalence of alcohol and tobacco consumption among undergraduate students of a university in Southern Brazil. Method: This is an exploratory-descriptive study, with a cross-sectional design, held from August 2012 to June 2013. The research was carried out by means of a structured questionnaire (with questions about alcohol and tobacco use), self-answered by 284 university students, and the results were analyzed through descriptive techniques, absolute and relative frequencies, and statistical tests, chi-square for dichotomous categorical variables and Kruskal-Wallis for continuous variables. Results: Of the undergraduates who participated in this study, 242 (85.2%) have already consumed alcohol and 53 students (18.7%) have already used tobacco at some point in their lives. Regarding the consumption of substances and the gender of the undergraduates, there was no difference in alcohol consumption (p=0.857). However, as for tobacco, men’s consumption was evidenced to be higher than women’s (p=0.001). Conclusion: The study reveals that the prevalence of alcohol consumption among the university population is high, thus demanding broader investigations about the aspects involved in alcohol and tobacco consumption among this population.

Métodos: El estudio tiene el carácter exploratorio-descriptivo con delineamiento transversal y se dio entre agosto de 2012 y junio de 2013. Se realizó la investigación a través de un cuestionario estructurado (con preguntas sobre el uso del alcohol y tabaco) de autorelleno en 284 académicos y los resultados fueron analizados a través de técnicas descriptivas, frecuencias absolutas y relativas y estadística con la prueba de Chi-cuadrado para las variables categóricas dicotómicas y la de Kruskal-Wallis para las variables continuas. Resultados: Entre los universitarios participantes 242 (85,2%) ya han consumido el alcohol y 53 (18,7%) ya usaron el tabaco en algún momento de su vida. No hubo diferencia respecto el consumo de alcohol y el género de los universitarios (p=0,857). Sin embargo, respecto al tabaco, se evidenció que los hombres los consumen más que las mujeres (p=0,001). Conclusión: El estudio revela que la prevalencia del consumo de alcohol en esa población universitaria es alta con la necesidad de investigaciones más amplias sobre los aspectos del consumo de alcohol y tabaco por ese público.Objetivo: Conhecer a prevalência do consumo de álcool e tabaco entre estudantes de uma universidade do sul do Brasil. Métodos: O estudo tem caráter exploratório-descritivo, com delineamento transversal, e ocorreu de agosto de 2012 a junho de 2013. A pesquisa foi realizada por meio de um questionário estruturado (com questões sobre o uso de álcool e tabaco) autopreenchido por 284 acadêmicos e os resultados foram analisados por técnicas descritivas, frequências absolutas e relativas, e estatísticas com teste qui-quadrado para variáveis categóricas dicotômicas e Kruskal-Wallis para variáveis contínuas. Resultados: Dos universitários participantes 242 (85,2%) já consumiram álcool e 53 (18,7%) já fizeram uso de tabaco em algum momento na vida. Em relação ao consumo das substâncias e o gênero dos universitários, não houve diferença em relação ao consumo de álcool (p=0,857). Contudo, em relação ao tabaco, evidencia-se que os homens consomem mais que as mulheres (p=0,001).
