Drinking patterns, alcohol-related problems and drinking-in-the-injury event were compared between those admitted to the emergency room (ER) with and without injuries resulting from violence. A probability sample of 1770 adult casualty patients in four hospitals in a single California suburban county were breathalyzed and interviewed at the time of the ER visit. Among all males and females over 30, those with violence-related injuries were more likely than those with other injuries to have positive breathalyzer readings and to report drinking prior to the event, frequent heavy drinking, consequences of drinking, experiences associated with alcohol dependence and loss of control and prior treatment for an alcohol problem. The data suggest a need for research to test whether a brief intervention at the time of the ER visit for problem drinking or a referral for more extensive alcohol treatment can effect a reduction in alcohol-related violence and other alcohol-related problems.
对因暴力受伤和未因暴力受伤而入住急诊室（ER）的患者的饮酒模式、与酒精相关的问题以及受伤时饮酒情况进行了比较。在加利福尼亚州一个郊区县的四家医院，对1770名成年急诊患者进行了概率抽样，在他们就诊时进行了呼气酒精含量测试并进行了访谈。在所有30岁以上的男性和女性中，与暴力相关受伤的患者比其他受伤患者更有可能呼气酒精含量测试呈阳性，并报告在事件发生前饮酒、频繁大量饮酒、饮酒后果、与酒精依赖相关的经历、失控以及曾接受过酒精问题治疗。数据表明需要进行研究，以测试在急诊就诊时针对问题饮酒进行简短干预或转介接受更广泛的酒精治疗是否能减少与酒精相关的暴力行为和其他与酒精相关的问题。
