Resumo
Alcohol-related injuries are an important
public health issue worldwide. The objective of this
study was to describe the epidemiology of alcohol
intake perceived by interviewers among injury victims
seen at emergency departments in selected Brazilian
cities. Cross-sectional data were collected from
the injury surveillance system based on sentinel
health services recently implemented in the country
through intentional sampling in 2006 and 2007 and
analyzed in Epi Info 3.5.1. Alcohol intake perception
was higher in violence-related injuries than in
unintentional injuries (37.9% versus 8%). For violence-
related injuries, highest proportions of alcohol
intake perception were observed among males
(43.7%), 20 to 39 years old (45.3%), blacks (40.5%),
and low schooling level victims (40.3%). Settings
where these injuries occurred with the highest concerned
proportions were taverns (78.2%) and public
places (39.5%). Higher alcohol intake perception
was observed in assaults (39.1%), suicide attempts
(25.4%), transport-related injuries (16.8%), and falls
victims (5.9%).
