Resumo: The aim of this article was to describe the attention functioning of twenty-two truck drivers and its relationship with amphetamine use. Those drivers who reported using amphetamines in the twelve months previous to the interview had the best performance in a test evaluating sustained attention functioning. Although amphetamine use may initially seem advantageous to the drivers, it may actually impair safe driving. The findings suggest the importance of monitoring the laws regarding amphetamine use in this country.

Os motoristas que relataram usar anfetaminas nos doze meses prévios à entrevista tiveram desempenho melhor em um teste de atenção sustentada. Apesar de inicialmente representar uma vantagem para motoristas, o uso de anfetaminas pode dificultar a direção segura. Os resultados sugerem a importância de supervisionar as leis que regulamentam o uso de anfetaminas no País.El objetivo de éste estudio fue describir el desempeño de atención de choferes de camión y su relación con el uso de anfetaminas.
