A cross sectional study of alcohol consumption and non-fatal injuries in the emergency departments in Mainland China:Data from the WHO/NIAAA collaborative study on alcohol and injuries
The association of alcohol consumption and non-fatal injuries has been documented extensively.With a rapidly expanding economy in China, the prevalence of alcohol consumption has been increasing steadily, but the link between alcohol consumption and nonfatal injury in China remains unclear.Analyzing data collected from 2540 participants in five emergency departments (EDs) in China,we found that the prevalence of alcohol related-injury (ARI) for the total sample was 16.5 %.This rate was substantially higher among younger patients (age < 35 years).Significant regional differences in prevalence was found: Beijing (14.8%), Zhejiang (6.2%), Hunan (20.6%), Sichuan (19.8%).35.6% of ED patients attributed the injury to their own drinking.Among patients with ARI, 26.5% were classified as moderately to severely intoxicated, and 36.7% of these sustained alcohol-caused intentional injuries (ACII).Our findings indicated that the problem associated alcohol-related injuries is an important public health concern in China.The challenges facing the Chinese legislative officials and public health professionals include devising and implementing strategies and public health campaigns to address the rising rates of alcohol use disorders and related disabilities including alcohol-related injuries.
