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.
