Introdução: Entre as modalidades de consumo da cocaína, os usuários de crack são um grupo específico com histórico de marginalização que manifestam uma série de vulnerabilidades, sendo que desde a disseminação do crack no Brasil, os homens sempre foram maioria dentro da cultura de uso do crack. Objetivo: Traçar um perfil dos homens usuários de crack no Brasil por meio de uma revisão bibliográfica, analisando a trajetória de uso a partir de um recorte de gênero. Método: O presente trabalho foi elaborado a partir de uma revisão da literatura entre os anos de 2010 à 2020, abordando temas específicos para os homens usuários de crack no Brasil. Os temas escolhidos foram: recorte de gênero, perfil sociodemográfico, início do uso, meios para obtenção da droga, tratamento e a visão da mídia e da sociedade a respeito desses usuários. Resultados/Discussão: Os homens são maioria dentro do cenário de uso de crack no Brasil e estão expostos extensivamente a situações e comportamentos de risco físico, como descuido com a própria saúde, alto índice de infecções sexualmente transmissíveis e exposição a uma série de doenças, como comportamentos de risco social, como a vivência em situação de rua e a alta taxa de atos delitivos que exercem a fim de comprar drogas. Conclusão: O poder de dependência da droga, a fissura provocada e a facilidade de acesso são fatores que não ajudam os usuários quando decidem por parar o consumo. O tratamento desses usuários deve envolver uma série de profissionais centrados no indivíduo de maneira humanizada. Por fim, ficou evidente a necessidade de uma aborgadem multidisciplinar no tratamento dos usuários em situação de dependência.
Introduction: Among the modalities of cocaine consumption, crack users are a group with a history of marginalization that manifest a series of vulnerabilities and since the spread of crack in Brazil, men have always been the majority within the culture of crack use. Objective: To draw a profile of male crack users in Brazil through a literature review, analyzing the trajectory of use from a gender perspective. Method: The present work was elaborated from a literature review between the years 2010 to 2020, addressing specific themes for male crack users in Brazil. The themes chosen were: gender profile, sociodemographic profile, beginning of use, means to obtain the drug, treatment and the media's view of these users. Results/Discussion: Male crack users are the majority within the scenario of crack use in Brazil and are extensively exposed to situations and risk behaviors, both physical and neglectful of their own health, high rate of sexually transmitted infections and exposure to a series of diseases, as to social risk behaviors, such as living on the streets and the high rate of criminal acts that they carry out in order to buy drugs. Conclusion: The power of drug dependence, the craving caused and the ease of access are factors that do not help users when they decide to stop using. The treatment of these users must involve a series of professionals centered on the individual in a humanized way. Finally, the need for a multidisciplinary approach in the treatment of users in a situation of dependence became evident.
