The present study is a systematic review of the literature examining the relationship between alcohol mixed with energy drinks (AmED) and injury. The study provides a summary and critical analysis of the current literature.
The review was conducted using PRISMA guidelines for systematic reviews. Studies included in the review were those that quantified the relationship between AmED use and injury risk relative to alcohol only. Records were considered along the following theme areas: controlled for drinking behaviors, controlled for impulsivity or risk-taking propensity, examined sex differences, and self-reported injury outcomes for (a) AmED versus alcohol consumers and (b) AmED versus alcohol sessions.
The results support the association between AmED and increased risk of injury; however, substantial variability in harm outcomes and methodology makes it difficult to determine the extent of this risk.
There is significant need for further examination of the role of AmED use in the risk of injury. A better understanding of the relationship between AmED use and injury and of the potential underlying mechanisms is crucial for informing effective preventive intervention strategies. This review can be used to inform the public and health practitioners of the risks associated with AmED use. Further, translating this knowledge to policy makers could inform regulations on the availability of AmED, with the goal of reducing injury-related outcomes.
本研究是一项对文献的系统综述，旨在探究酒精与能量饮料混合饮品（AmED）和伤害之间的关系。该研究对当前文献进行了总结和批判性分析。
本综述按照系统综述的PRISMA指南进行。纳入综述的研究是那些量化了AmED使用与仅饮酒相比的伤害风险之间关系的研究。记录沿着以下主题领域进行考量：控制饮酒行为、控制冲动性或冒险倾向、研究性别差异，以及（a）AmED消费者与酒精消费者和（b）AmED饮用时段与酒精饮用时段的自我报告伤害结果。
结果支持AmED与伤害风险增加之间的关联；然而，伤害结果和方法存在很大差异，使得难以确定这种风险的程度。
非常有必要进一步研究AmED使用在伤害风险中的作用。更好地理解AmED使用与伤害之间的关系以及潜在的潜在机制，对于制定有效的预防干预策略至关重要。本综述可用于向公众和健康从业者通报与使用AmED相关的风险。此外，将这些知识传达给政策制定者可为AmED的可得性法规提供参考，目标是减少与伤害相关的结果。
