"Injuries often occur when people have been drinking or are intoxicated. The individual who is drinking and/or intoxicated may be injured, and/or their actions may result in injuries to family members, friends and strangers. Injuries can be accidental; for example from road traffic accidents and falls, or non-accidental; for example, from assault and suicide.
This review focuses on research that considers the role of alcohol in causing injury and the effectiveness of educational and environmental strategies in preventing alcohol-related injury. It should be read in the context of other research on the effectiveness of policies and interventions
directed at alcohol-related harm generally, including taxation, regulations, enforcement, and the development of effective treatment services" (Executive summary). Record #4638
