Drug use and abuse is a global phenomenon that has serious social, economic and health-related implications. The impact it has on college students is a major concern, as it generates low academic performance and high dropout rates. The objective of this paper was to explore whether internal migration for access to higher education represents a risk factor for drug consumption. This study has been designed on the bases of a quantitative, cross-sectional, observational and analytic-inductive research methodology; applied an instrument on-line to a convenience sample that included both university and technical students from the Universidad Veracruzana in the five campuses comprising it: Poza Rica-Tuxpan, Xalapa, Córdoba-Orizaba, Veracruz-Boca del Río and Coatzacoalcos-Minatitlán, located from north to south in the State of Veracruz in Mexico. A total of 2 621 students from the region of Xalapa participated in the study (91.6 % did not migrate and 8.4 % dided). The statistical analysis showed that the most frequently used drugs by the study population were alcohol, tobacco and marijuana. But the students that were on migratory situation presented agreater risk for the consumption of tobacco, alcohol, hallucinogens, and crack than their non-migrant counterparts. The results obtained suggest that migration in higher education increases the risk of drugs consumption.

El objetivo de este trabajo fue explorar si la migración interna por ingreso a la educación superior representa un factor de riesgo para el consumo de drogas. Se diseñó una investigación cuantitativa, transversal, observacional y analítica-inductiva; así como un instrumento aplicado en línea, a una muestra por conveniencia de estudiantes de licenciatura y tecnicatura superior de la Universidad Veracruzana, en los cinco campus que la conforman, en las regiones de: Poza Rica-Tuxpan, Xalapa, Córdoba-Orizaba, Veracruz-Boca del Río y Coatzacoalcos-Minatitlán, ubicadas de norte a sur en el estado de Veracruz, México. Se consideró a los estudiantes originarios de la región Xalapa, cuyo número de participantes fue de 2 621 (el 91.6 % no migró y el 8.4 % realizó migración interna). El análisis estadístico mostró que las drogas más utilizadas por la población de estudio fueron el alcohol, seguida del tabaco y la marihuana. Los alumnos que tuvieron una situación migratoria presentaron un mayor riesgo para el consumo de tabaco, alcohol, alucinógenos y crack, que la población que permaneció en su región de origen. Los resultados encontrados sugieren que la migración por estudios de educación superior incrementa el riesgo de consumo de drogas.
