RESUMOObjetivo: Verifi car a ocorrência de acidentes não fatais em adolescentes escolares do município de Belém, Pará.Métodos: Estudo transversal. Amostra probabilística por conglomerados obtida em múltiplos estágios, que incluiu 2.828 adolescentes escolares, com idades entre 17 e 18 anos, matriculados na terceira série do ensino médio de escolas públicas e privadas de Belém, no ano 2000. Coleta de dados: questionário semi-estruturado de autopreenchimento. Análise estatística: comparação das variáveis categóricas por teste do qui-quadrado, calculado pelo programa Epitable, do Epi-Info 6.01.Resultados: A média de idade dos escolares foi 17,7 anos, sendo 60% meninas, 82% estudavam na rede pública, 61% residiam com pai e mãe e 23% com apenas um dos genitores. A ocorrência de pelo menos um acidente foi relatada por 1.987 (70%) adolescentes. Os mais freqüentes foram: quedas (35%), contato com vidro, faca, espada e punhal (30%), contato com fonte de calor ou substâncias quentes (22%), acidentes de transporte (20%) e mordeduras por cão ou outros mamíferos (18%). A ocorrência foi maior no sexo masculino (78%) do que no feminino (65%) e entre estudantes da rede privada (77%) em comparação aos da rede pública (69%). Um terço dos acidentes levou os adolescentes à procura do serviço de saúde e, destes, 9% foram hospitalizados.Conclusões: Verifi cou-se elevada ocorrência de acidentes em adolescentes escolares, confi rmando a vulnerabilidade desta faixa etária. Concluiu-se que a melhor condição social, aqui representada pela procedência da escola privada, não conferiu proteção a esses escolares.Palavras-chave: acidentes; estudantes; adolescente.
