Abstract

Authors’ conclusions: young people with an alcohol-specific admission are at increased risk of subsequent injury requiring hospitalization, especially immediately post discharge, indicating a need for prompt intervention as soon as alcohol misuse behaviors are identified.

Reviewers’ commentary: this cohort study demonstrates the increased risk of injuries related to alcohol abuse in the population of the United Kingdom. Being the first month after discharge for alcohol abuse the period in which the highest risk is identified, an early intervention and a strict control of these adolescents should be carried out.
