Project Description

NDRI will explore the feasibility of estimating alcohol-attributable ED presentations for SA using ED-specific alcohol aetiologic fractions developed by NDRI. Explore the feasibility of estimating alcohol-related emergency department presentations using time of day as a surrogate measure. Estimate alcohol-attributable ED presentations contingent on the outcomes of 1. Devise a suitable alcohol-related surrogate indicator for EDs contingent on the outcomes of 2.
