| Popis: | A study of alcohol-related injuries presenting to the local emergency room and the campus health service indicated an annualized rate of 25.16 injuries per thousand students. Twenty-four percent of injuries presenting to the emergency room were assessed as alcohol-related; another 6% were listed as being “suspected.” Less than 4% of the injuries presenting to the campus health service were assessed as alcohol-related, and a similar number were listed as “suspected.” Males had a significantly higher rate of alcohol-related injuries than females, and undergraduates had a higher rate than graduate students. Differences among the undergraduate classes were not significant. An investigation of the time of presentation indicated that most alcohol-related injuries occurred after hours and on weekends. |
