Abstract

Objective: to estimate the prevalence of drug use by pregnant women undergoing low-risk prenatal care in primary health care. Method: observational and cross-sectional study, carried out with 270 pregnant women, in 14 basic health units in two municipalities in northwestern Paraná, with high levels of social vulnerability. A structured form was used, sociodemographic characteristics, gestational data and drug use by the pregnant woman and her family, and descriptive statistics. Results: they were brown/black, maternal age from 25 to 35 years old, with a minimum of nine years of education, a steady partner and multipregnant. The prevalence of drug use, in polyuse, was 46.2%: tobacco, 28.5%; alcohol, 14%, and marijuana, 3.3%. The use of drugs showed an intergenerational pattern and the partner used drugs similar to the pregnant woman. Conclusion: the high prevalence of involvement with drugs by pregnant women and the limitations and challenges of health professionals for the early detection of use is highlighted.
