“…Thus, the prevalence of use patterns among this demographic segment should be especially monitored. (19,20) An important factor regarding drug use among construction workers is that work sites consist primarily of men, for the work activities require conditions considered to be masculine, such as physical strength. We present the hypothesis that men are more solicited for this type of work activity because they are more prone to adventure and risk-taking.…”

“…Como exemplo, temos o estudo de Costa et al 20 apontando que o consumo de álcool está associado negativamente com situação socioeconômica, educação, ocupação e renda. Abreu et al 21 , ao avaliarem o consumo nocivo de bebidas alcoólicas entre os usuá-rios de uma Unidade de Saúde da Família na Zona Oeste do Rio de Janeiro, revelaram a prevalência do consumo fortemente associada ao baixo nível de escolaridade e à baixa renda familiar. Já outros estudos contemplando universitários mostram que quanto maior o nível de escolaridade e renda, maior o consumo de álcool [20][21][22] .…”

Já outros estudos contemplando universitários mostram que quanto maior o nível de escolaridade e renda, maior o consumo de álcool [20][21][22] . Embora vários estudos associem os acidentes de trânsito ao consumo de bebidas alcoólicas e que os resultados descritivos deste estudo apontem este desfecho como o mais prevalente entre os demais, foi possível observar que a média de concentração de álcool relaciona-se com circunstâncias como Agressão, Indeterminada, Queda, Vítima de Projétil de Arma de Fogo, Enforcamento e Afogamento.…”
