Alcohol-related injuries linked to drinking patterns in Swedish emergency room patients.
The study looked at how alcohol consumption is linked to injuries among patients in a Swedish emergency room. They found that patients who drank more alcohol were more likely to attribute their injuries to alcohol. Those who were unhappy with their drinking habits were also more likely to see a connection between alcohol and their injuries. This suggests that understanding the role of alcohol in injuries could help patients see the link and motivate them to change their drinking habits to prevent future injuries.
