Abstract

Objective: to identify the sociodemographic profile of interpersonal violence associated with
alcohol consumption in São Paulo-SP, Brazil. Method: a cross-sectional study carried out through
notifications of suspected or confirmed cases of interpersonal violence from the Notifiable Diseases
Information System submitted between 2016 and 2019. Collection took place between March and
June 2020. Chi-square or Fisher’s exact tests were performed in the statistical analysis. Results:
27,775 notifications were obtained, whose prevalent profile was female victims (60.6%), aged
between 20 and 34 years old (41.4%), brown- or black-skinned (51%), and with complete high
school (18.8%). Physical violence was more frequent (81.9%), perpetrated by an intimate partner
(20.3%), motivated by sexism (9.9%) and generational conflict (11.2%). In sexual violence, rape
prevailed with 69.4% and there was a low supply of emergency contraception methods (14.7%).
Conclusion: the study contributes to reflections and subsidies in the planning of public policies to
control the problem.
