Consumo de álcool e povos indígenas: revisão integrativa da literatura

Abstract

To identify and synthesize the evidence found in national and international databases on the implications of alcohol consumption in indigenous communities in Brazil. Method: This is an integrative literature review using the PubMed, Scopus and LILACS databases with articles found in Portuguese, English and Spanish available in full from november 2023 to january 2024. The descriptors used were: álcool/alcohol; indígenas/indigenous; Brasil/Brazil. Results: 21 articles were selected for analysis, 57.1% of which were published in LILACS (n=12), 28.6% in Scopus (n=6) and 14.3% in PubMed (n=3). Among the study scenarios, 52.4% were carried out in the North and journals based in Brazil predominated with 76.1% of the publications (n=16). After careful analysis, 4 categories emerged: alcoholization process; consumption, factors and outcomes; indigenous and professional perception; applicability of instruments in the indigenous context. Conclusion: Given the diversity of ethnic groups in Brazil, there is a lack of exploration for a more comprehensive perception of the subject, the adequacy of questionnaires for a better analysis of the context in this population and the consequent acculturation of these peoples
