Abstract
Acidentes de transporte constituem problema mundial de saúde pública, especialmente nos países em desenvolvimento. O objetivo foi descrever o perfil das vítimas e circunstâncias dos acidentes de transportes com residentes de Goiânia (GO), na faixa etária de 15 a 24 anos e atendidos no Hospital de Urgências. Estudo transversal prospectivo, realizado de agosto de 2005 a agosto de 2006, por amostragem sistemática de 301 vítimas de acidentes de transporte. Os dados primários foram tratados por meio de estatística descritiva. A maioria era do sexo masculino, com idade média de 19,88 ± 2,7 anos e condutor dos veículos. O meio de transporte mais utilizado foi motocicleta (67,33%), seguido da bicicleta (16,67%). Os acidentes ocorreram predominantemente em torno das 18 horas, sextas-feiras e domingos. As vítimas estavam principalmente no trajeto para atividades físicas, esportivas, escolares, lazer e entretenimento. A suspeita do uso de álcool foi relatada por 15,16% dos entrevistados. Comparados aos ciclistas, mais motociclistas julgaram que houve imprudência/negligência no acidente. Equipamentos de segurança não foram usados por 8,58% dos motociclistas e 95,45% dos ciclistas. São necessárias medidas de educação dirigida aos motociclistas e fiscalização que priorizem o período noturno e os finais de semana.

It's a prospective cross-sectional study carried out from August 2005 to August 2006 by systematic sampling. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics. Most of the 301 victims were male, mean age of 19.94 ± 2.73 years, and drivers. Motorcycles (67.33%) and bicycles (16.67%) were frequently mode of transport. Accidents usually occurred around 6pm, on Fridays and Sundays. The victims were generally traveling/walking to/from exercise, sports, school, recreational or entertainment activities. Suspicion of alcohol use was reported by 15.16% of the cases. More motorcyclists believed that there was imprudence/ negligence than the cyclists. Security equipment was not used by 8.58% of motorcyclists, 95.45% of cyclists. Educational measures for motorcyclists and law enforcement highlighting the nights and weekends are needed.
