- Abstract
Objective: To analyze the social vulnerability of families living for a long time with the addictive behavior of one of their members. Methods: A cross-sectional study conducted with relatives of 29 drug users hospitalized with physical trauma associated with drug intoxication from April to September 2014. The Vulnerability Index of Paraná Families was used. It has the following dimensions: adequacy of residence; profile and composition of family; access to work and income; and schooling conditions. Data were analyzed by tendency measures. Results: Users had a mean age of 40.1 years and an average addictive behavior of 20.8 years. Only three families were not in social vulnerability. The greatest vulnerability was related to access to work and income (79.3%) and schooling (82.6%), with proportional relation between these dimensions. Conclusion: There was worsening of vulnerability in long-term indicators, proportional to the years coping with drugs.
