Using a self-administered alcohol-related questionnaire and the clinical records a survey was made of the prevalence and severity of alcohol-related problems in the accident and emergency department at the Belfast City Hospital. Of 10,410 consecutive attendances during three months, 6,625 completed a questionnaire: 4,349 admitted they took alcohol at some time, 906 men exceeded 21 units weekly, and 490 women exceeded 14 units weekly. The majority of those who drank were under the age of 35 years. Only 182 considered that they might have an alcohol-related problem. Possible health promotion initiatives for these at-risk patients are considered which might be used specifically in an accident and emergency department.
通过一份自行填写的酒精相关调查问卷和临床记录,对贝尔法斯特市医院急诊科与酒精相关问题的患病率及严重程度进行了调查。在三个月内连续就诊的10410人次中,6625人完成了问卷调查:4349人承认曾在某个时候饮酒,906名男性每周饮酒量超过21单位,490名女性每周饮酒量超过14单位。大多数饮酒者年龄在35岁以下。只有182人认为自己可能存在与酒精相关的问题。文中考虑了针对这些高危患者可能采取的健康促进措施,这些措施可能专门用于急诊科。
