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.
