CALADO, Vasco Gil  e  LAVADO, Elsa. Representações Sociais da Droga e da Toxicodependência. Inquérito à população jovem presente no Rock in Rio - Lisboa 2008. Toxicodependências [online]. 2010, vol.16, n.3, pp.17-27. ISSN 0874-4890.

It is presented the main results of the study Perceptions and Social Representation on Drugs and Drug Addiction, Inquiry to the Youth present in Rock in Rio - Lisboa 2008. Considering a sample of 1.165 teenagers and young adults, one can conclude that drugs are con­sidered a serious social problem, although without generating much social alarm. Drugs social representation is today more individual based than social, less associated to problems such as crime, delin­quency or repression. Further more, one can also conclude that symbolically, to those interviewed, drug consumers and drug addicts are different and autonomous concepts.
