Prevention of Alcohol-Related Crime and Trauma (PACT): brief interventions in routine care pathway - a study protocol
Background Globally, alcohol-related injuries cause millions of deaths and huge economic loss each year . The incidence of facial (jawbone) fractures in the Northern Territory of Australia is second only to Greenland, due to a strong involvement of alcohol in its aetiology, and high levels of alcoho...
