| Popis: | We report the results from our second point‐prevalence survey of alcohol harm in Australasian emergency departments (EDs). This was conducted as part of the Australasian College for Emergency Medicine (ACEM) Alcohol Harm in EDs Project.1 The project's aim was to quantify the amount of alcohol harm presenting to Australasian EDs and to raise awareness of the scale of this public health issue. Previous research attempting to quantify alcohol harm in EDs has been largely retrospective, coding‐based or single‐site, and has estimated total ED alcohol‐related attendances in the range of 0.5 to nine per cent. |
