MOREIRA REIS, André Felipe; GUELERO DO VALLE, Mariana  and  MENDES SILVA, Premma Hary. Health education: the approach on drugs in didactic books of biology. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2021, vol.27, e37140.  Epub June 22, 2021. ISSN 1981-0431.  https://doi.org/10.26512/lc27202137140.

Our goal is to analyze the approaches on drugs in didactic books of biology. The research is of a qualitative approach and it uses the content analysis as a referential. We realized that the majority of the texts are of biomedical approach with only one of behavioral approach, and two of socio ecological approach. There are also parts identified with more than one perspective, in addition to a mistake in the definition of a fungus species. We highlight the importance of expanding the approaches related to the topics of health and drugs in didactic books without restricting itself to the processes of sickness of the body.

Keywords : Drugs; Health Education; Didactic Book.
