Alcohol-related injuries are an important public health issue worldwide. The objective of this study was to describe the epidemiology of alcohol intake perceived by interviewers among injury victims seen at emergency departments in selected Brazilian cities. Cross-sectional data were collected from the injury surveillance system based on sentinel health services recently implemented in the country through intentional sampling in 2006 and 2007 and analyzed in Epi Info 3.5.1. Alcohol intake perception was higher in violence-related injuries than in unintentional injuries (37.9% versus 8%). For violence-related injuries, highest proportions of alcohol intake perception were observed among males (43.7%), 20 to 39 years old (45.3%), blacks (40.5%), and low schooling level victims (40.3%). Settings where these injuries occurred with the highest concerned proportions were taverns (78.2%) and public places (39.5%). Higher alcohol intake perception was observed in assaults (39.1%), suicide attempts (25.4%), transport-related injuries (16.8%), and falls victims (5.9%).
酒精相关伤害是全球一个重要的公共卫生问题。本研究的目的是描述在巴西部分城市急诊科就诊的受伤患者中，访谈者所感知到的酒精摄入情况的流行病学特征。横断面数据是从该国近期通过在2006年和2007年进行的立意抽样实施的哨点卫生服务的伤害监测系统中收集的，并在Epi Info 3.5.1中进行分析。与暴力相关伤害相比，在意外伤害中酒精摄入感知更高（37.9%对8%）。对于与暴力相关的伤害，在男性（43.7%）、20至39岁（45.3%）、黑人（40.5%）以及受教育程度低的受害者（40.3%）中观察到酒精摄入感知比例最高。这些伤害发生比例最高的场所是酒馆（78.2%）和公共场所（39.5%）。在袭击（39.1%）、自杀未遂（25.4%）、交通相关伤害（16.8%）和跌倒受害者（5.9%）中观察到更高的酒精摄入感知。
