OBJECTIVE: To verify the prevalence of Minor Psychiatric Disorders according to the demographic and socioeconomic profile, type of drug used and the health conditions of users of crack, alcohol and other drugs. METHODOLOGY: Cross-sectional study, with a sample of 505 users. The Self-Reporting Questionnaire was used to verify the prevalence of disorders. RESULTS: The prevalence found was 28.7%, higher among crack users, women, blacks, divorcees or widowers, unemployed, users with health problems, poor self-assessment of health and who are dissatisfied with family relationships. CONCLUSIONS: The presence of Minor Psychiatric Disorders may be related to some factors that include not only individual characteristics, but also social, cultural and economic issues, among others.
