TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - Alcohol related harm JO - Injury prevention A1 - Ker, Katharine A1 - Ivers, Rebecca Q. SP - 273 EP - 274 VL - 12 IS - 4 N2 - Alcohol related harm, particularly injuries and violence related to binge drinking, continues to enjoy a large amount of media interest. Such an ongoing concern cannot be considered misplaced; globally, alcohol related mortality and morbidity presents a significant public health problem. The World Health Organisation estimates that alcohol causes 1.8 million deaths worldwide (3.2% of total deaths), with unintentional injuries alone accounting for a third of these, and a loss of 58.3 million disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) (4% of total DALYs).
