“…It is a cross-cultural project carried out in eight countries (Brazil, Estonia, India, Iran, China, South Africa, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam) as part of a WHO initiative to prevent suicide, under the scientifi c supervision of the Australian Institute for Suicide Research and Prevention, Griffi th University, Brisbane, Australia, and the National Center for Suicide Research and Prevention of Mental Ill-Health, Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden. 5,26 The survey was carried out in the city of Campinas, located 100 km from the capital of the State of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil.

OBJECTIVE:To estimate the prevalence of alcohol abuse/dependence and identify associated factors among demographic, family, socioeconomic and mental health variables. METHODS:A household survey was carried out in the urban area of Campinas, southeastern Brazil, in 2003. A total of 515 subjects, aged 14 years or more were randomly selected using a stratifi ed cluster sample. The Self-Report Questionnaire and the Alcohol Use Disorder Identifi cation Test were used in the interview. Prevalences were calculated, and univariate and multivariate logistic analyses performed by estimating odds ratios and 95% confi dence intervals. RESULTS:The estimated prevalence of alcohol abuse/dependence was 13.1% (95% CI: 8.4;19.9) in men and 4.1% (95% CI: 1.9;8.6) in women. In the fi nal multiple logistic regression model, alcohol abuse/dependence was signifi cantly associated with age, income, schooling, religion and illicit drug use. The adjusted odds ratios were signifi cantly higher in following variables: income between 2,501 and 10,000 dollars (OR=10.29); income above 10,000 dollars (OR=10.20); less than 12 years of schooling (OR=13.42); no religion (OR=9.16) or religion other than Evangelical (OR=4.77); and illicit drug use during lifetime (OR=4.47). Alcohol abuse and dependence patterns were different according to age group. CONCLUSIONS:There is a signifi cantly high prevalence of alcohol abuse/ dependence in this population. The knowledge of factors associated with alcohol abuse, and differences in consumption patterns should be taken into account in the development of harm reduction strategies.

palavras-chaveTentativas de suicídio, desordens relacionadas ao uso de substâncias, ingestão de álcool, pronto-socorro. resumo objetivo: Descrever as tentativas de suicídio atendidas em um pronto-socorro (PS) e o consumo agudo ou dependência de substâncias nestes indivíduos. métodos: O estudo epidemiológico descritivo foi conduzido durante um ano para avaliação de tentativas de suicídio assistidas em um PS de Embu das Artes, SP. Os pacientes foram agendados para uma entrevista psiquiátrica não estruturada. As principais variáveis de desfecho foram: dados sociodemográficos, métodos da tentativa de suicídio, uso de álcool ou drogas seis horas antes da tentativa, pacientes com diagnóstico de dependência de substância pela CID-10. Utilizaram-se a análise descritiva e o teste qui-quadrado (p < 0,05) para verificar associações entre as diversas variáveis estudadas. resultados: A amostra constituiu-se de 80 casos, cujos participantes tinham idade média de 26,9 anos (DP = 8,91), predominantemente de mulheres (72,5%), 21,2% de adolescentes. A maioria das tentativas de suicídio foi por ingesta de medicação (62,5%). Aproximadamente 21,2% e 7,5% relataram ter feito uso de álcool e de drogas ilícitas, respectivamente, nas seis horas que antecederam a tentativa e 10% da amostra têm dependência de substâncias. Todos os dependentes de substâncias já tentaram suicídio anteriormente (p-valor = 0,4). Houve associação significativa entre a forma da tentativa de suicídio por ingesta de medicação e histórico de tratamento psiquiátrico (p = 0,02). Conclusão: Mais estudos nacionais são necessários para considerar o papel do uso de álcool e drogas em tentativas de suicídio assistidas em PS, especialmente em dependentes químicos cujo comportamento suicida é relevante.
