Resumen

El consumo de alcohol, cocaína y cannabis se asocia a comportamientos agresivos, a ser víctima de lesiones de diversas causas, y a accidentes de tráfi co, pero existen pocos estudios acerca de cómo afecta el consumo de estas sustancias la experiencia de agresividad vial. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar la bibliografía existente sobre el tema y extraer conclusiones claras respecto de su verdadero impacto. Se analizaron cinco publicaciones. Más de un tercio de los conductores tuvieron alguna experiencia de agresividad vial. Los predictores sociodemográfi cos fueron: sexo masculino, edad joven, vivir en grandes ciudades, nivel educativo alto y no vivir en pareja. Diferentes variables relacionadas con el alcohol resultaron predictoras de victimización y/o perpetración, en particular para agresiones severas y frecuentes. Considerando tres subescalas del test AUDIT, la �dependencia� se asoció sólo a ser agresor verbal, mientras que el �consumo� y especialmente los �problemas� se relacionaron con casi todas las formas de agresividad vial. La frecuencia de consumo y el conducir después de haber bebido no aumentaron la agresividad vial, a menos que se condujera estando ebrio. Conducir bajo la infl uencia de cannabis se relacionó con ser perpetrador de agresividad vial. Los estimulantes (cocaína y éxtasis) se asociaron a victimización, agresión, y de manera signifi cativa a formas severas de agresividad vial. Existe una asociación entre consumo de drogas ilegales o alcohol y agresividad vial, particularmente para los ítems de perpetración. La medida en que estos hallazgos representan efectos farmacológicos, procesos psicosociales, o ambos, es un tema importante para futuras investigaciones
