A new study in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine examines the proportion of non-traffic-related injury deaths that involve high levels of alcohol for 15 causes of injury. This systematic review and meta-analysis finds that excessive alcohol use is associated with a median of 27% of injury deaths. The findings underscore the importance of implementing and enforcing evidence-based strategies for preventing excessive drinking to reduce injuries and promoting safer community environments. |
