Mchugh, EE and Al-Awadhi, E and Stassen, LFA (2009) The role of the health services in the prevention of alcohol-related facial injury. Surgeon, 7, (5), pp. 307-315. https://doi.org/10.1016/s1479-666x(09)80009-7.
This paper outlines the preventive health strategic measures that are currently in place and it endeavours to consider how improvements can be made to our national preventive strategy with the goal of reducing alcohol-related facial injuries. It is based on a review of the literature sourced through PubMed, Ovid Medline and the Cochrane database. The main findings are that increased funding, legislative amendment and media involvement are key to improving the work of the health services in their struggle to limit the ever increasing alcohol-related incidents that are experienced by society today.
