Epidemiologia do uso de substâncias psicoativas em operadores de segurança pública: diretrizes para políticas institucionais no campo da promoção de saúde

Abstract

Some epidemiological studies point to conclusions about the health conditions of the military police, which trigger the need to establish institutional policies aimed at the problem of the consumption of psychoactive substances. Thus, the general objective is to describe the Prevalence of alcohol and other drug use and to analyze factors associated with the harmful consumption of alcohol by the Tocantins military police. In order to do so, we performed a quantitative analysis of the final report of the institutional research carried out by the PMTO, through adjustment of multivariate models to determine the prevalence ratio of factors associ-ated with "harmful use" of alcohol, using the regression model of Poisson with robust variance (95% CI). Thus, the final model of possible associated factors indicates that being a woman (RP = 0.46, p = 0.002), calling herself evangelical (RP = 0.65, p = 0.000), and being crowded in battalion (RP = 0.52, p = 0.000) indicate protective factors, while having 4 or more children (RP = 1.2, p = 0.000), reporting motives for drinking for recreation (RP = 1 , P = 0.000), relieving stress (RP = 2.37, p = 0.000) or seeking pleasure (RP = 2.24, p = 0.000), or having responded to problems with alcohol and other drugs ( RP= 1.65, p = 0.000) are considered as possible factors associated with the harmful use of alcohol.
