ABSTRACT Drugs abuse is a complex phenomenon with many causes, and it affects children and adolescents. The objective of this research was to seek scientific evidence that contributes to the understanding of the existing relation between the use of crack and other drugs by children and adolescents and the family. The method used was the integrative review.
The bases analyzed were:
MEDLINE, LILACS, Cochrane, BDENF and IBECS.Descriptors:
cocaine, crack, family and family relationships.Three categories were evidenced:
Family environment as a protector and/or facilitator for the use of crack and other drugs by children and adolescents; Lack of knowledge and the repercussions of the use of crack and other drugs by children and adolescents in the family environment; Networks to support the family and coping with the use of crack and other drugs. The family environment has a protective function against the use of drugs, but the issue of drugs has to be faced and addressed. It is also necessary to strengthen the social networks and discuss prevention themes.

El ambiente familiar como un elemento de protección o de mayor facilidad para el uso de crack y otras drogas; La ignorancia y las repercusiones del uso de crack y otras drogas en el ambiente familiar; Las redes de apoyo a las familias y al enfrentamiento al consumo de drogas.
