0225/2024 - Alcoolismo em homens residentes em comunidades quilombolas do Norte de Minas Gerais, Brasil Alcoholism in men living in quilombola communities in North of Minas Gerais, Brazil
O objetivo deste artigo é estimar a prevalência e os fatores associados ao transtorno por uso de álcool em homens residentes em comunidades rurais quilombolas localizadas no norte de Minas Gerais, Brasil. Trata-se de estudo transversal realizado em 2019 a partir de entrevistas estruturadas e aplicação do Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT). Foi conduzida regressão logística binária. Verificou-se que 21,3% dos respondentes apresentavam consumo de risco, uso nocivo e provável dependência do álcool. Houve maior chance de transtorno por uso de álcool entre homens quilombolas com idade entre 18 a 39 anos (OR= 3,98 – IC 95% 1,65;9,57) e 40 a 59 anos (OR= 3,62 – IC 95% 1,53-8,57), que sofreram discriminação em serviços de saúde (OR=3,38 – IC 95% 1,00-11,71) e com autorrelato de depressão (OR=2,79 – IC 95% 1,24-6,27). As vulnerabilidades sobrepostas revelam a importância de intervenções de saúde que atendam a essas demandas e que dialoguem com a cultura local. É preciso que os currículos formativos incorporem discussões sobre a saúde das comunidades tradicionais e que as políticas e programas de saúde adentrem os espaços rurais para que possam ser efetivadas com equidade.

Abstract:
The objective of this article is to estimate the prevalence and factors associated with alcohol use disorder in men living in rural quilombola communities located in the north of Minas Gerais, Brazil. This is a cross-sectional study carried out in 2019 based on structured interviews and application of the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT). Binary logistic regression was conducted. It was found that 21,3% of respondents had risky consumption, harmful use and probable alcohol dependence. There was a greater chance of alcohol use disorder among quilombola men aged between 18 and 39 years old (OR= 3,98 – 95%CI 1,65;9,57) and 40 to 59 years old (OR= 3,62 – 95%CI 1,53-8,57), who suffered discrimination in health services (OR=3,38 – 95%CI 1,00-11,71) and self-reported depression (OR=2,79 – 95%CI 1,24-6,27). The overlapping vulnerabilities reveal the importance of health interventions that meet these demands and that dialogue with the local culture. It is necessary that training curricula incorporate discussions about the health of traditional communities and that health policies and programs enter rural spaces so that they can be implemented with equity.
