    Abstract

    The study analyzes the impact of School Health Program (PSE) on the prevention
    of violence and on the consumption of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs.
    Based on National Student Health Survey, Pense 2015, we estimated the average treatment
    effect (schools that adhered the PSE) through propensity score matching and the
    Lewbel method (2012), which is based on the construction of instruments internally to
    deal with the possible bias of the unobserved characteristics that influence the treatment.
    The quantile treatment effects was also estimated. The results indicated that the
    PSE contributes to the prevention of drug and cigarette consumption and fights. In the
    case of alcohol and bullying, no significant results were observed.
