“…The information about drug use in a given population assists and defines the type of intervention that should be developed. In order to implement such actions, there is a need for specific knowledge about the evolution of use of given substances within particular settings, as well as working descriptions of current prevention programs in place (Andrade et al, 1997, Galduróz et al, 2005, Stempliuk et al, 2005, Carlini et al 2006, SENAD, 2007.…”

“…Marijuana is the most abused illicit drug worldwide, with an annual prevalence of 2.5% and affecting mostly young populations (3). The use of cocaine is also increasing during adolescence, particularly in developing countries (2). The worldwide prevalence of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adolescents was recently estimated by our group in a meta-analysis of the literature (2.74; 95%CI = 2.04-3.45) (4).…”

Our objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of a long-acting formulation of methylphenidate (MPH-SODAS) on attentiondeficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms in an outpatient sample of adolescents with ADHD and substance use disorders (SUD). Secondary goals were to evaluate the tolerability and impact on drug use of MPH-SODAS. This was a 6-week, singleblind, placebo-controlled crossover study assessing efficacy of escalated doses of MPH-SODAS on ADHD symptoms in 16 adolescents with ADHD/SUD. Participants were randomly allocated to either group A (weeks 1-3 on MPH-SODAS, weeks 4-6 on placebo) or group B (reverse order). The primary outcome measures were the Swanson, Nolan and Pelham Scale, version IV (SNAP-IV) and the Clinical Global Impression Scale (CGI). We also evaluated the adverse effects of MPH-SODAS using the Barkley Side Effect Rating Scale and subject reports of drug use during the study. The sample consisted of marijuana (N = 16; 100%) and cocaine users (N = 7; 43.8%). Subjects had a significantly greater reduction in SNAP-IV and CGI scores (P < 0.001 for all analyses) during MPH-SODAS treatment compared to placebo. No significant effects for period or sequence were found in analyses with the SNAP-IV and CGI scales. There was no significant effect on drug use. MPH-SODAS was well tolerated but was associated with more severe appetite reduction than placebo (P < 0.001). MPH-SODAS was more effective than placebo in reducing ADHD symptoms in a non-abstinent outpatient sample of adolescents with comorbid SUD. Randomized clinical trials, with larger samples and SUD intervention, are recommended.

“…Mesmo com números dessa magnitude, poucos estudos relatam a associação entre uso de álcool e acidentes de trânsito em motoristas e passageiros brasileiros 9,10 . Sabe-se que o uso de álcool está aumentando no Brasil 11 ; e Porto Alegre (RS) apresenta uma alta prevalência desse uso entre os jovens, assim como uma das mais altas taxas de uso de maconha do país 12 . Uma prática comum entre adolescentes e adultos jovens na cidade é dirigir até lojas de conveniência de postos de gasolina, usualmente com amigos, e lá fazer uso de bebidas alcoólicas.…”

ResumoIntrodução: O uso de álcool é um forte preditor de acidentes de trânsito. Este artigo descreve a factibilidade e dados preliminares de um estudo que avalia a alcoolemia entre jovens que utilizam bebidas alcoólicas em estacionamentos de postos de gasolina de Porto Alegre (RS). Método: Estudo transversal, com amostra em alvo, estratificada por idade e gênero. Os dados foram coletados através de um questionário autopreenchido, e a alcoolemia foi estimada com uso de bafômetro. Resultados: A taxa de recusa foi de 13,7%, e medida da alcoolemia acima de 0,06% foi encontrada em 35,5% (IC95% 24,3-47,9) da amostra. Aproximadamente 10% destes indivíduos (18% dos homens) relatavam intenção de dirigir nas 2 horas subseqüentes à coleta. Conclusão: É discutida a potencial utilização deste tipo de dado, bem como a necessidade de novos estudos sobre uso de substâncias em motoristas brasileiros. Descritores: Consumo de bebidas alcoólicas, acidentes de trânsito, assunção de riscos. AbstractIntroduction: Alcohol use is a strong predictor of traffic accidents. This paper reports feasibility issues and preliminary data on blood alcohol concentration in youths who drink alcohol in gas stations of Porto Alegre, Brazil. Method: It used a cross-sectional design with a purposive sample stratified by age and gender. Data were collected through a selfadministered questionnaire and blood alcohol concentration was estimated with breath alcohol analyzers. Results: Refusal rate was 13.7% and blood alcohol concentration over 0.06% was found in 35.5% (95%CI 24.3-47.9) of the sample. Almost 10% of the subjects (18% of the males) reported they would drive within 2 hours of the interview. Conclusion: The potential utilization of such measures is discussed, as well as the need for studies on substance use in young Brazilian drivers.
