ROCHA, Patrícia Rodrigues da  and  DAVID, Helena Maria Scherlowski Leal. Alcohol and drugs questionnaire among workers: a literature review. SMAD, Rev. Eletrônica Saúde Mental Álcool Drog. (Ed. port.) [online]. 2011, vol.7, n.2, pp. 107-116. ISSN 1806-6976.

Alcohol and drug use has been increasingly recognized as an occupational health problem, despite methodological difficulties to accomplish this type or research. A bibliographic review was carried out to identify and analyze papers that have focused on workers‘ use of alcohol and drugs, focusing on data collection instruments. The review period was from 1998 to 2008. The method included the definition of descriptors and the search in on-line databases. After abstract reading and exclusion criteria use, 33 papers were selected for analysis. Results showed that CAGE and AUDIT questionnaires were the most frequently used, and that the majority of studied workers were from service sector, with few studies in other sectors.
