Injury Risk Among Medically Identified Alcohol and Drug Abusers

Injury Risk Among Medically Identified Alcohol and Drug Abusers Background: Although nonfatal injury prevalence is higher among substance abusers than in the general population, few studies have estimated the injury risk for clinically recognized substance abusers. The extant studies, moreover, analyze rates of visits for injury treatment rather than rates of injury events. This study estimates the excess risk of medically treated and hospitalized nonoccupational injury for people under age 65 with medically identified substance abuse problems and private health care coverage. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research Wiley

Abstract

Background: Although nonfatal injury prevalence is higher among substance abusers than in the general population, few studies have estimated the injury risk for clinically recognized substance abusers. The extant studies, moreover, analyze rates of visits for injury treatment rather than rates of injury events. This study estimates the excess risk of medically treated and hospitalized nonoccupational injury for people under age 65 with medically identified substance abuse problems and private health care coverage.
