Could reasons for admission help to screen unhealthy alcohol use in emergency departments? A multicenter French study
This study highlights that unhealthy alcohol use is frequent among ED patients and particularly among those who come for injuries or mental disorders. Men under 65 years old with a mental disorder require special attention because of their increased prevalence of daily or almost daily HED
Efficacy of Brief Intervention for Alcohol Consumption during Pregnancy in Argentinean Women: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Introduction Although Brief Intervention (BI) has proven to reduce alcohol consumption during pregnancy in high income countries, there is no evidence from the Southern Cone of America. Thus, we conducted a study to assess BI efficacy among Argentinean pregnant women.Method and Materials We collected data on pregnant women receiving prenatal care at the public health system in Mar del Plata, Argentina. Women with less than 26 weeks of gestation (…
Road traffic injury risk from alcohol and cannabis use among emergency department patients in Argentina
Objective. To report the risk from alcohol, cannabis, and their combined use for non-fatal road traffic injuries for drivers, passengers, and pedestrians. Methods. Risk was estimated using the case-crossover method. Participants (N= 306) were injured patients from an emergency department in Mar del Plata, Argentina. Results. Alcohol use (OR= 6.78, CI 95% 3.75-12.25) as well as combined alcohol and cannabis use (OR= 7.05, CI 95% 1.16-42.73) signif…
Time for carefully tailored set of alcohol policies to reduce health‐care burden and mitigate potential unintended consequences
The burden of alcohol on health care during Covid ‐19
Alcohol's impact on global health is substantial and of a similar order of magnitude to that from COVID‐19. Alcohol now also poses specific concerns, such as increased risk of severe lung infections, domestic violence, child abuse, depression and suicide. Its use is unlikely to aid physical distancing or other preventative behavioural measures. Globally, alcohol contributes to 20% of injury and 11.5% of non‐injury emergency room presentations. We…
The Early Impact of the Covid-19 Lockdown on Stress and Addictive Behaviors in an Alcohol-Consuming Student Population in France
Background: This study evaluated factors linked with perceived stress related to the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown and addictive behaviors prior to and during lockdown in a sample of students who indicated engaging in alcohol consumption behaviors before lockdown. Methods: Cross-sectional study. French students from four universities participated in this study, and 2,760 students reported alcohol use. During the first week of lockdown, students …
Shifting patterns of disparities in unintentional injury mortality rates in the United States, 1999-2016
Objectives . To analyze changes in racial/ethnic disparities for unintentional injury mortality from 1999-2016. Methods . Mortality data are from the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) for all unintentional injuries, analyzed separately by injury cause (motor vehicle accidents [MVA], poisonings, other unintentional) for white, black, and Hispanic populations within four age groups: 15-19, 20-34, 35-54, 55-74 for males and for females. R…
Road traffic injuries and substance use among emergency department patients in the Dominican Republic and Peru
Objective . To report demographic and substance use characteristics and risk of road traffic injury (RTI) from alcohol use, cannabis use, and combined use in a sample of emergency department patients from two countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. Methods . A cross-sectional study in which patients 18 years and older admitted within six hours of suffering an RTI to one emergency department in Santa Domingo, Dominican Republic ( n = 501) an…
Understanding differences in prescription drug misuse between two Texas border communities
Objectives: The misuse of prescription drugs in the U.S. is an alarming public health crisis. Prior research at the U.S.-Mexico border has found high rates of prescription drug misuse, but with rates varying significantly across border communities. We aimed to examine a model of permissive climate measures and stress exposures as potential mediators of community differences in prescription drug misuse at the U.S.-Mexico border. Design: We analyze…
Development of the International Alcohol Policy and Injury Index
Findings support the IAPII as a reliable indicator of the relationship between alcohol policies and injury deaths; the stronger the policy the less the likelihood of both overall and vehicular injury death. Future work should test the effectiveness of the IAPII in reducing alcohol-related injury morbidity, which accounts for a larger share of the global burden of disease than alcohol-related injury mortality
Risk of violence-related injury from alcohol consumption and its burden to society in Latin America and the Caribbean
A dose-response relationship was found between the volume of alcohol consumed prior to the event and risk of violence-related injury. Risk was not uniform across gender or age. At higher volumes, females compared to males were at greater risk of injury but had a lower AAF due to their lower prevalence of drinking at higher levels
Prevalence and correlates of arrests or stops for drunk driving on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border
Risk for driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) may be higher in U.S. and Mexico border cities as compared to nonborder cities in each country. We examine rates and correlates of self-reported DUI arrests or stops on both sides of the border, drawing on a large-scale survey of 4,796 Mexicans and Mexican Americans in border and nonborder cities of Texas and two states in Mexico. Findings varied by site and country and did not consistently sh…
The Effects of Acute Cannabis Use on Nontraffic Injury Risk: Reviewing the Available Literature and Identifying Ways Forward
Recent evidence has indicated that cannabis use before driving is associated with a modest but increased risk for traffic-related injuries. However, the question of whether recent cannabis use is associated with a greater risk for other types of injuries remains unanswered. Aiming to understand better how acute cannabis use might affect the risk for all causes of injury, we have summarized the limited data available in the literature on the risk …
Hazardous Drinking and Exposure to Interpersonal and Community Violence on Both Sides of the U.S.-Mexico Border
Different patterns of heavy drinking occur by country and proximity to the U.S.-Mexico border. Few studies describe the impact of violence on drinking between countries and along the border. Survey data is from U.S.-Mexican-origin adults living in Texas and Mexican border and nonborder cities, N = 4,796. Participants were asked about alcohol consumption, interpersonal physical violence (IPV), and exposure to community violence. Monthly hazardous …
Wanting and Getting Help for Substance Problems on Both Sides of the US-Mexico Border
Differences by gender at twelve months in a brief intervention trial among Mexican-origin young adults in the emergency department
In this study, we investigate the role of gender in prevalence and consequences of binge drinking and brief intervention outcomes among Mexican-origin young adults aged 18-30 years at the U.S.-Mexico border. We conducted a secondary analysis, stratified by gender, from a randomized controlled trial of a brief motivational intervention in a hospital emergency department. Intervention effects for males included reductions in drinking frequency, bin…
Substance Use and Cumulative Exposure to American Society: Findings From Both Sides of the US–Mexico Border Region
Objectives. We investigated whether Mexican immigration to the United States exerts transnational effects on substance use in Mexico and the United States. Methods. We performed a cross-sectional survey of 2336 Mexican Americans and 2460 Mexicans in 3 Texas border metropolitan areas and their sister cities in Mexico (the US–Mexico Study on Alcohol and Related Conditions, 2011–2013). We collected prevalence and risk factors for alcohol and drug us…
How Cage, Raps4-QF, and Audit Can Help Practitioners for Patients Admitted with Acute Alcohol Intoxication in Emergency Departments
Different thresholds proposed for the CAGE, RAPS4-QF, and AUDIT could be used to guide the choice of intervention for a patient: brief intervention, brief negotiation interviewing, or longer more intensive motivational intervention
A Comparison of Two Case-Crossover Methods for Studying the Dose-Response Relationship between Alcohol and Injury
This study compares dose-response injury risk estimates for two control periods defined as the same 6-hour period the week prior and the set of all non-sleeping 6-hour periods over the past year. Dose-response injury risk estimates for the multiple match controls are generated via the application of a maximum-likelihood approach. Injury risk associated with any (i.e., 1 drink or more) drinking 6 hours prior to injury was similar for the two contr…
Alcohol Use Disorders in National Samples of Mexicans and Mexican-Americans: The Mexican National Addiction Survey and the U.S. National Alcohol Survey
The authors show associations between immigration and alcohol disorders using data from the 1995 and 2000 U.S. National Alcohol Surveys and the 1998 Mexico National Household Survey on Addictions. The prevalence of alcohol dependence was 4.8% for the Mexicans, 4.2% for the Mexico-born immigrants, and 6.6% for the U.S.-born Mexican Americans. They found a general lack of significance for the immigration variables with few consistent dose-response …
Attributable Risk of Injury Associated With Alcohol Use: Cross-National Data From the Emergency Room Collaborative Alcohol Analysis Project
Objectives. We sought to determine gender- and age-specific attributable risks of all-cause and violence-related injuries associated with alcohol use. Methods. We used meta-analytic techniques to estimate attributable risks observed in emergency room studies conducted in 7 countries (n=17708). Results. In the case of both alcohol consumption before the injury event and individual drinking patterns, pooled attributable risk effect sizes for all-ca…
Risk of injury after alcohol consumption: A Case-Crossover Study in the Emergency Department
Screening for Alcohol Problems: A Comparison of Instrument Performance Between the Er and the General Population Among Mexican Americans in the U.S. And Mexicans in Mexico
Relatively little is known about the performance of screening instruments for alcohol use disorders in the general population compared to clinical populations, or among Mexicans or Mexican Americans. The sensitivity and specificity of three screening measures: CAGE, TWEAK, and holding five or more drinks (HOLD), for alcohol dependence, are compared between ER and general population samples in the U.S. (Santa Clara, County, California) and in Mexi…
The end of U.S. prohibition: A case study of Mississippi
Natural experiments involving changes in alcoholic beverage availability are valuable opportunities to examine the corresponding associated changes in alcohol consumption and alcohol-related problems. Usually one is able to examine the relationship between changes in availability and consumption (all other things being equal), changes in consumption and problems and/or changes in availability and problems (see Giesbrecht et al., 1982; Smart, 1979…
