The 3rd national emergency department survey of alcohol identification and intervention activity

The 3rd national emergency department survey of alcohol identification and intervention activity This research shows that emergency departments in England have increased the level of alcohol screening for adults - with the offer of specialist support for those attending with alcohol-related health problems and for those who frequently attend. However, it also shows that while most emergency departments attending to under-18s ask them about their drinking few do so routinely. It concludes that this needs to improve to ensure young people considered to be at risk of developing drink-related ill health receive the specialist support they need. Alcohol Research UK
