“…5 Socio-demographic factors such as sex, age and schooling are related to the occurrence and the severity of accidents. 12,20 Individuals who are single are at greater risk than married individuals of suffering a serious or fatal traffi c accident, even after adjusting for sex, age and alcohol, 21 which may be due to the fact that singles expose themselves more to risk factors, as confi rmed in this study. The times and roads on which fatal accidents occur suggest less congested driving conditions and travelling connected to leisure activities, characterized by imprudence.…”

“…The dynamic of this multi-causal phenomenon affects victims to different degrees depending on the type of accident (run over pedestrian, motorbike accident or another type of accident involving a vehicle or motorbike) 1 and demographic characteristics (sex, age, skin color, marital status and schooling). 12,20 Monthly distribution is differentiated by day of the week and time of day. 5 Research using analysis techniques to understand these characteristics are relevant to redirecting activities aiming to reduce the severity of the accidents.…”

“…A large part of this output refers to problems with the coverage and quality of the offi cial information systems as limiting factors to understanding this phenomenon. 20 For specialists, the lack of an integrated information system based on standardized police reports of traffi c accidents makes it impossible to really know the situation of traffi c accidents in the country and, therefore, makes it impossible to put in place appropriate measures to mitigate it. 7 As a way of overcoming this diffi culty, techniques to relate databases were used in order to improve the quality of information on the number of variables investigated and the number of valid records, achieving more complete information.…”

OBJECTIVE:To describe the main characteristics of victims, roads and vehicles involved in traffi c accidents and the risk factors involved in accidents resulting in death. METHODS:A non-concurrent cohort study of traffi c accidents in Fortaleza, CE, Northeastern Brazil, in the period from January 2004 to December 2008. Data from the Fortaleza Traffi c Accidents Information System, the Mortality Information System, the Hospital Information System and the State Traffi c Department Driving Licenses and Vehicle database. Deterministic and probabilistic relationship techniques were used to integrate the databases. First, descriptive analysis of data relating to people, roads, vehicles and weather was carried out. In the investigation of risk factors for death by traffi c accident, generalized linear models were used. The fi t of the model was verifi ed by likelihood ratio and ROC analysis. RESULTS:There were 118,830 accidents recorded in the period. The most common types of accidents were crashes/collisions (78.1%), running over pedestrians (11.9%), colliding with a fi xed obstacle (3.9%), and with motorcycles (18.1%). Deaths occurred in 1.4% of accidents. The factors that were independently associated with death by traffi c accident in the fi nal model were bicycles (OR = 21.2, 95%CI 16.1;27.8), running over pedestrians OR = 5.9 (95%CI 3.7;9.2), collision with a fi xed obstacle (OR = 5.7, 95%CI 3.1;10.5) and accidents involving motorcyclists (OR = 3.5, 95%CI 2.6;4.6). The main contributing factors were a single person being involved (OR = 6.6, 95%CI 4.1;10.73), presence of unskilled drivers (OR = 4.1, 95%CI 2.9;5.5) a single vehicle (OR = 3.9, 95%CI 2,3;6,4), male (OR = 2.5, 95%CI 1.9;3.3), traffi c on roads under federal jurisdiction (OR = 2.4, 95%CI 1.8;3.7), early morning hours (OR = 2.4, 95%CI 1.8;3.0), and Sundays (OR = 1.7, 95%CI 1.3;2.2), adjusted according to the log-binomial model. CONCLUSIONS:Activities promoting the prevention of traffi c accidents should primarily focus on accidents involving two-wheeled vehicles that most often involves a single person, unskilled, male, at nighttime, on weekends and on roads where they travel at higher speeds.

“…Nobre Essas percepções foram expressas por um agente essencial no enfrentamento de um problema que exige fiscalização com abordagem pública em vias públicas: os policiais de trânsito. Trata-se, portanto, de um tipo de material importante a ser considerado pelos formuladores de políticas em relação à mobilidade humana, com foco privilegiado na questão de expressivo impacto social que diz respeito à prática de dirigir sob efeito de bebida alcoólica (Bacchieri, & Barros, 2011). Esse material também é importante para atualizar conhecimento sobre os procedimentos de fiscalização e seu planejamento por órgãos superiores da polícia e da justiça, mas também sugere cuidados importantes em relação à formação dos policiais militares.…”

Resumo: Dirigir sob efeito de bebida alcoólica é comportamento de risco associado a expressivo volume de acidentes de trânsito. Em vários estados brasileiros foram adotadas ações de fiscalização e punição de motoristas flagrados em tal comportamento de risco. O objetivo do presente estudo foi conhecer o contexto atual de realizações e dificuldades um programa de fiscalização implantado em 2003, no estado do Espírito Santo, por meio de entrevistas com 25 policiais militares que atuam em tal programa. O material textual composto pela transcrição das entrevistas foi processado por meio do software Alceste, que organizou as respostas dos policiais em 6 classes de conteúdos: Naturalização e valorização do beber excessivo; Menosprezo do risco da associação entre bebida e direção; Realizações e dificuldades no contexto das ações de fiscalização; Realizações e dificuldades no contexto das ações educativas; Aspectos Legais e operacionais em torno da verificação da embriaguez; Aspectos legais e operacionais relativos à punição do condutor. Considera-se que as concepções de profissionais que participam de forma direta da intervenção relativa ao problema podem contribuir para a discussão e aprimoramento das modalidades de intervenção a serem continuadas. Palavras-chave: Bebida alcoólica, Direção automotiva, Blitz, Educação para o trânsito, Avaliação psicológica de motorista, Programa madrugada viva. Alcoholic Beverage and Driving: Reports of Military Policy Officers on "Lei Seca"Abstract: To drive under the influence of alcohol is considered a risky behaviour and has been associated with a significant number of car accidents. Considering that, several Brazilian states have adopted control and punishing actions against drivers who are caught in such risky behaviour. The main objective of this study was to understand the current context of achievements and difficulties of a monitoring program implemented in 2003 in the state of Espirito Santo. To this end, twenty-five military officers who work in this program were interviewed. The resulting data was transcribed and processed through the software Alceste, which organized the responses of police officers in 6 classes of contents: naturalization and appreciation of excessive drinking; underestimation of the risk of association between drinking and driving; achievements and difficulties in the context of enforcement actions; achievements and difficulties in the context of educational activities; legal and operational aspects around the verification of drunkenness; and legal and operational aspects regarding punishment of the driver. It is considered that the views of professionals who participate directly on the issue of intervention can contribute to the discussion and improvement of methods of future possible intervention.

Introduction Motorcycles accidents are responsible for most of the injuries due to external causes and consequent high hospitalization rates. Objective This study aimed to analyze the temporal trend in motorcycle accident morbidity among young male adults in the State of Santa Catarina. Methods This is an ecological study on motorcycle accident morbidity in men aged 20 to 39 years in the State of Santa Catarina between 1998 and 2012. Data from the Hospital Information System of the Brazilian Unified Health System were used in the study. Specific hospital morbidity rates adjusted for age, age group and geographical region, were calculated to analyze the temporal trend in the State through regression model estimates obtained using the Joinpoint program. Results A total of 19.889 hospital admissions for motorcycle accidents occurred in the State of Santa Catarina in the period studied, with a significant increase of 10.9% per year. In the studied age groups, the 20-29 year old group increased 9.7% per year, whilst the 30-39 year old group increased 13.7%. Except for Foz do Rio Itajaí, all geographical regions of the state showed a significant increase of morbidity. Conclusion There has been an increasing trend of morbidity for motorcycle accidents in State of Santa Catarina. These results show the need for improvement of policies to reduce the causes of this type of accident.
