Abstract

Introduction: Alcohol use is a strong predictor of traffic accidents. This paper reports feasibility issues and preliminary data on blood alcohol concentration in youths who drink alcohol in gas stations of Porto Alegre, Brazil. Method: It used a cross-sectional design with a purposive sample stratified by age and gender. Data were collected through a selfadministered questionnaire and blood alcohol concentration was estimated with breath alcohol analyzers. Results: Refusal rate was 13.7% and blood alcohol concentration over 0.06% was found in 35.5% (95%CI 24.3-47.9) of the sample. Almost 10% of the subjects (18% of the males) reported they would drive within 2 hours of the interview. Conclusion: The potential utilization of such measures is discussed, as well as the need for studies on substance use in young Brazilian drivers.
