Resumo
Road traffic injuries are the cause of an
expressive number of deaths and hospitalizations
among young people in the world. In Brazil, it is
responsible for 17.1% of all deaths among adolescents
aged 10 to 14 years. This article presents the
results of the National Adolescent School-based
Health Survey (PeNSE), using a probabilistic
sample of students in the 9th grade of high schools
(public and private) of the Brazilian capitals in
2009. The prevalence (and 95%CI) of risk factors
for road traffic injury among adolescents were
estimated. Main results from the 60,973 interviews
were: in the last 30 days, 26.3% (25.5% to
27.0% 95%CI) reported no use of seat-belts while
riding in a moving vehicle; 18.5% (18.0% to
19.1% 95%CI) of youths younger than 18 years
reported driving a motor vehicle (> once); 18.7%
(18.1% a 19.2% 95%CI) reported a history of
being driven by a driver who had been drinking
(> once); and 35.0% (33.8% to 36.2% 95%CI)
reported no use of helmets while riding a motorcycle
(> once). The results are in accordance with
the high rates of morbidity and mortality from
traffic injury among youths, reinforcing the need
of integrated intersectoral actions, specific legal
measures and strict control.
