TY - JOUR PY - 2008// TI - Alcohol Abuse Among English and French Psychiatric Referrals from Accident and Emergency Departments JO - Alcohol and alcoholism A1 - Klugman, Anthony A1 - Landron, Sophie A1 - Sarfraz, M. Aamer SP - 589 EP - 589 VL - 43 IS - 5 N2 - Despite cultural and historical differences, France and England today face similar levels of alcohol-related morbidity and care burden (European Commission, 2007). Accident and Emergency (A&E) departments and psychiatric services are at the forefront of detection and treatment of alcohol abuse in both countries. We noted the absence of collaborative interventions regarding alcohol-related harm in both countries and carried out a comparative study to highlight characteristic of those who abuse alcohol among psychiatric referrals to inform future policy and interventions.
