For the independence test, a chi-square Pearson test was carried out, given that the variables considered are of the nominal type and the ratio was used through the log-likelihood distance, a two-stage cluster analysis. The average age of the students was 19 years, 25.93% of students are men and 74.07% are women, single students represent 95.87%, 53.5% of students are native of the province of Chimborazo, 89.52% of students are mestizos. 21.8% of students smoke 10 or more cigarettes per day. 55.34% of students or consume marijuana. The 14.39 students do not have cell phone dependence.
