本研究调查了饮酒对受伤概率、住院时间和急诊就诊的影响。从北方加州县招募的成人样本（N = 1219）中获得数据。酒精使用措施包括饮酒次数，大量饮酒天数和问题饮酒的指标变量。分别估计男性和女性的模型，同时控制混杂因素。结果表明，大多数酒精使用的措施没有显着相关的伤害概率或医疗服务利用。在例外情况中，饮酒问题是男女急诊就诊的一个显著的积极预测因素。当饮酒者在过去的一年中被分为轻度，中度和重度饮酒组，并与终身戒酒者相比，所有男性饮酒者有更高的受伤概率，轻度和中度女性饮酒者有较低的急诊室就诊概率。
This study examined the effect of alcohol use on the probabilities of injury, inpatient hospital stay, and emergency department visit. Data were obtained from a sample of adults (N=1219) recruited from a Northern California county. Alcohol use measures included number of drinks, heavy drinking days, and an indicator variable for problem drinking. Models were estimated for men and women separately while controlling for confounders. Results indicate that most alcohol use measures were not significantly related to injury probability or medical care utilization. Among the exceptions, problem drinking was a significant positive predictor of any emergency department visit for both sexes. When drinkers during the past year were divided into light, moderate, and heavy drinking groups and compared to lifetime abstainers, all male drinkers had a higher probability of injury, and light and moderate female drinkers had a lower probability of an emergency department visit.
