- Abstract
This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of risk behaviors related to personal safety, as well to identify associated factors. This is a cross-sectional study with 902 academic students. We used the instrument Youth Risk Behavior Survey - College. Prevalences were estimated at intervals of 95% of confindence and reasons of crude and adjusted prevalences by Poisson regression. Most of the students was female (67.1%) and aged up to 21 years (56.2%). Risk behaviors most prevalent: Not using seat belts (34.7%) and alcohol associated with the vehicle direction (39.6%). Main associations: men and involvement in fights (PR = 2.04), age up to 21 years and non-use of seat belts (PR = 1.32) and no helmet (PR = 1.87); area of exact sciences and drink associated with the direction (P R = 0.64); humanities and drink associated with the direction (PR = 0.73); area of applied social sciences and drink associated with the direction (PR = 0.76); better education of the mother and drink associated with the direction (PR = 1.43); economic classes C and D and drink associated with the direction (PR = 0.77). Men have more chances of involvement in fights and, for younger, of not using the safety belt and helmet.
