Consumo de bebidas alcoólicas e direção de veículos nas capitais brasileiras e no Distrito Federal, segundo dois inquéritos nacionais de saúde

Abstract

ABSTRACT:Objective: To present the results of indicators of alcohol consumption and driving for Brazilian capitals based on two population surveys performed in Brazil in 2013. Methods: Cross sectional study with data from adults (≥ 18 years) participants of the Telephone Survey on Risk and Protective Factors for Chronic Diseases (Vigitel) and the National Health Survey (NHS). Prevalence for indicators of alcohol consumption and driving was then calculated. Results: The proportion of adult drivers who drove soon after drinking was significantly higher among males (29.3% -Vigitel and 24.4% -NHS), the young aging 18 to 29 years (31.6% -Vigitel and 24.1% -NHS) and among residents of the capitals of the Midwest (33.7% -Vigitel and 28.3% -NHS). The proportion of adults who reported drinking and driving was higher among males (9.4% -Vigitel and 7.4% -NHS) in the 18 to 29 age group (7.1% -Vigitel; 4.5% -NHS), and among residents of the capitals of the Midwest (7.9% -Vigitel and 6.1% -NHS). Conclusion: The study estimated the prevalence of the habit of driving after alcohol consumption among drivers and in the general population. There was consistency between the results from two nationwide surveys.

Prevalence and Factors Associated with Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol in Brazil: An Analysis by Macroregion

“…The prevalence of DUIA found in previous studies varies according to geographical location, methodological differences, economic factors, and sociodemographic or behavioral characteristics of the drivers assessed [21,23,[36][37][38]. It is also influenced by country-level differences in legal BAC limits, enforcement, and alcohol use norms [23].…”

“…As previously described, the NHS collected data from 60,202 individuals from various health-related aspects [25]. As described in the research protocol published in previous reports [23,26], the target population for DUIA in NHS estimates was composed of drivers of cars and/or motorcycles who have consumed alcohol during the previous 30 days (n = 9527; 12.8% of the total NHS sample), this being the denominator for the DUIA prevalence calculation. This population answered the following question "On any of these days (previous 30 days) when you drank alcohol, did you drive right after drinking?"…”

“…This population answered the following question "On any of these days (previous 30 days) when you drank alcohol, did you drive right after drinking?" (no or yes) [23]. Thus, the dependent variable was DUIA within the previous 30 days, second self-report and the variable could assume only two values (0 = no or 1 = yes), for each participant.…”

Burden of disease in Brazil, 1990–2016: a systematic subnational analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2016

“…Alcohol consumption, economic growth, and urbanisation are among the factors that have contributed to the high DALY burden of road injuries in Brazil, particularly among young males and their main victims, pedestrians 64, 65. The increasing use of motorcycles has also contributed 66, 67.…”

Internações por acidentes de transporte terrestre envolvendo motocicletas

“…Em ambas as pesquisas registrou-se a média de 25% de motoristas adultos de carro ou moto que dirigiram logo depois de beber, sendo essa proporção significativamente maior no sexo masculino e para indivíduos jovens de 18 a 29 anos (21) . A morbidade por ATT é um fenômeno de grande magnitude e alta complexidade (6) , em que vários fatores podem interferir nos acidentes e variar durante os anos.…”
