Adaptations of the pilot of the Unplugged#tamojunto program for health promotion and drug prevention in Brazilian schools.

The prevention of the use of alcohol and other drugs in Brazil is markedly discontinuous with a predominant model not based on evidence. In 2013, the General Coordination Office of Mental Health, alcohol and other drugs (Ministry of Health) implemented the European school program Unplugged#Tamojunto in the municipalities of São Paulo (SP), São Bernardo do Campo (SP) and Florianópolis (SC), involving 2,161 public school students. The research aimed to elaborate recommendations to adapt the program to the Brazilian context.
