OBJECTIVE: to identify the prevalence of use in binge in indigenous Karipuna and to verify the association of this use with sociodemographic, clinical and behavioral variables of the sample. METHOD: this is a cross-sectional study carried out with 230 indigenous people from 12 Karipuna villages in Oiapoque. Binge use screening was obtained through the Key Question. Data was collected between May and December 2017. A priori, the frequency analysis of the variables involved in the study was carried out, following the chi-square test and logistic regression model. RESULTS: it is revealed that the prevalence of use in binge was 24.8% from one to three times; 20.4% four to six times; 12.2% seven to ten times and 9.6% more than ten times. The following factors were associated: student (OR = 2.99); migration from the village of origin (OR = 2.22); condom use (OR = 2.62) and sexual intercourse after alcohol consumption (OR = 1.61). CONCLUSION: it is warned that the occasional use of alcohol risk demands consideration, as well as knowledge of the particularities of the population now investigated, in order to establish control, planning of therapeutic resources so that effective results are achieved in the planned actions and especially in those that are adopted in practice in order to prevent alcohol abuse.
