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

Resumo

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.
