Alcohol consumption and dependence, employment status, social and family history and history of previous violence in 49 patients injured in city-centre violence were compared with that in 49 paired, age and sex matched control individuals in a major accident and emergency department. All control individuals had been in the same locations as the patients at the time of injury. Alcohol consumption was recorded in units and dependence was assessed by means of the CAGE questionnaire. Patients had consumed significantly more alcohol in the 6 h before injury (mean consumption: 9 units/controls 7.1 units) and had been involved in more previous violence (mean number of incidents in previous 5 years: 4.3/controls: 1.5 incidents). In comparison with controls, male patients tended to be single rather than married (P = 0.051), to have lost a parent (P = 0.058) and to feel guilty about their alcohol consumption (P = 0.068). These results indicate that in relation to young adults, injury in urban violence was associated with excessive binge-alcohol consumption, but not with alcohol dependence, unemployment at the time of violence or socio-economic group.
在一家大型事故与急诊科，将49名在市中心暴力事件中受伤患者的饮酒与酒瘾情况、就业状况、社会和家族史以及既往暴力史，与49名年龄和性别匹配的对照个体进行了比较。所有对照个体在受伤时均身处与患者相同的地点。饮酒量以单位记录，酒瘾通过CAGE问卷进行评估。患者在受伤前6小时饮酒量显著更多（平均饮酒量：9单位/对照7.1单位），且既往暴力事件更多（过去5年平均事件数：4.3/对照：1.5起事件）。与对照相比，男性患者往往单身而非已婚（P = 0.051），失去过父母（P = 0.058），且对饮酒感到内疚（P = 0.068）。这些结果表明，对于年轻人而言，城市暴力中的受伤与过度暴饮酒精有关，但与酒瘾、暴力发生时的失业状况或社会经济群体无关。
