Abstract

Objective: to identify publications related to the influence of the factors associated with the variation in the levels of craving in crack users. Method: systematic literature review in which studies published in Brazil and abroad were screened. The databases used were Publisher Medline, Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde and Scientific Electronic Library Online. Results: nine articles were selected, after the use of the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The associated factors observed are related to the pattern of crack use, family relationships, professional activity, use of other substances, damage reduction strategies and anxiety. Conclusion: craving can interfere in crack abuse and thus cause different social and health problems.
