Describe the sociodemographics, work conditions, minor psychiatric disorders (MPD) and CAGE positivity of physicians, nurses and dentists employed by the FHS in Feira de Santana (Bahia, Brazil).
Methods

The data were analyzed with SPSS software.

The features “female gender”, “young adult”, “married”, “affiliated with a cooperative”, “long work week” and “more than one job” predominated in the sample.
