Project Description

This case control study will investigate the relationship between injuries and alcohol consumption, particularly the quantity of alcohol taken and the sites in which it was consumed. Changes in this relationship according to season and location will be examined as well as the use of other licit and illicit drugs. Data collection from over 1000 injured people and 800 community controls has been completed.
