abstract="OBJECTIVE: to analyze the school violence suffered and practiced and its association with the use of alcohol and other drugs in adolescents between 12 and 18 years old. <br><br>METHOD: the study sample consisted of 643 adolescents enrolled in six schools, who answered two self-administered questionnaires: &quot;Global School-based Student Health Survey&quot; and &quot;Violence in School&quot;. Statistical analysis was performed using the chi-square test and the degree of association between the variables was analyzed using the prevalence ratio. <br><br>RESULTS: the prevalence of school violence suffered and practiced was 62.2% and 51.9%, respectively. About 44.6% of the aggressors said they did not want to change their behavior. There was an expressive prevalence of alcohol use (16.5%), tobacco (15.7%) and illicit drugs (6.8%), and drunkenness (12.6%). There was a significant association between the violence suffered and the age group of 12 to 14 years old (p=0.001); (p=0.011) and education level in elementary school (p<0.001). In mothers with less than eight years of studies, the association was significant for the violence practiced (p=0.002). <br><br>CONCLUSION: the study contributes to the aspects involved in school violence, which can subsidize actions and policies in this area.<p /> <p>Language: es</p>",
