RESUMEN

Estudio transversal cuyo objetivo fue describir el medio social relacionado con el policonsumo simultáneo de alcohol y tabaco, por parte de los estudiantes universitarios de pregrado de las carreras de ciencias de la salud, en unauniversidad de Cundinamarca, Colombia. Se aplicó un cuestionario a 451 estudiantes. Resultados: 22.6% de los estudiantes reportaron usar en forma simultánea alcohol y tabaco. Se identificaron las siguientes situaciones como de mayor prevalencia: el aprendizaje de esta combinación es a través de amigos y se consume predominantemente fuera de la universidad; este se hace para relajarse y disfrutarla compañía de los amigos, controlando así el estrés que generan las tareas universitarias y los conflictos familiares. Consideramos necesario desarrollar programas preventivos de alto impacto para ayudar a esta población universitaria, quienes a futuro estarán a cargo del bienestar de la población en general.
