“…Although high, the sex ratio in this study was lower than that observed in India . This phenomenon can be attributed to the increased exposure of men through their social and cultural behavior, predisposing them to greater risk of injury and deaths [22,24]. The lifestyle and cultural differences in this region of the country mean that most females work indoors (office work) or at home plus they drive more carefully and less frequently than males [12].…”

“…Uma parcela significativa, cerca de 1 em cada 7 entrevistados, referiram já ter se envolvido em algum momento de sua vida em acidentes automobilísticos em decorrência dos efeitos do álcool em concordância com diversos estudos da literatura que destacam a presença de alcoolemia como um fator frequente nas vítimas de acidentes de trânsito. [23][24][25][26] Dessa forma, conclui-se que os jovens universitários predominaram entre estudantes entrevistados nos bares, sendo que a maioria iniciou precocemente o consumo de bebidas alcoólicas principalmente devido à influência dos amigos. Além disso, ainda hoje, a maior parte deles costuma associar álcool e direção e ignorar o fato do motorista estar alcoolizado ao aceitarem uma carona, apesar de terem consciência dos prejuízos advindos dessa associação.…”
