Resumo: Eighteen didactic books on Sciences/Biology, Civic and Moral Education and Brazilian Political and Social Studies, for primary and secondary schools, were analyzed, with a view to assessing the way in which the issue of psychotropic drug use is dealt with. The texts analyzed are structurally centered on the discussion of the harmful effects of drugs instead of discussing others topics (such as etiology, concepts, treatment, incidence and prevalence). The texts are characterized especially by the use of non-scientific language in which emotional appeal and an exceedingly exacerbated style are the rule. The drug user is described as being necessarily a moral, physical and psychological decadent. The results were discussed in the light of recent theories on the prevention of drug abuse.

Foram analisados 18 livros didáticos de primeiro e segundo graus, das disciplinas de Ciências/Biologia, Educação Moral e Cívica e Organização Social e Política do Brasil, em relação ao tratamento dado ao tema consumo de drogas psicotrópicas. A análise da estrutura dos textos evidenciou preocupação excessiva com a discussão dos efeitos (nocivos) das drogas em detrimento de outros tópicos como conceituação, causas que levam ao uso, incidência, tratamento ou prevenção. Os textos se caracterizaram por uma linguagem pouco científica, onde o apelo emocional e o estilo dramático são a tônica. O usuário de drogas foi retratado como sendo necessariamente um ser decadente moral, física e psicologicamente. Os resultados da análise são discutidos à luz de teorias recentes de prevenção ao abuso de drogas. Universidade de São Paulo.
