• Abstract:
  Alcohol consumption is the third leading cause of death in the Unites States and costs over $148 billion each year.1 Studies have shown that rapid, accurate alcohol screening instruments can detect alcohol problems in primary care settings and can positively impact alcohol consumption, morbidity, and mortality.2 Alcohol consumption plays a key role in a large percentage of trauma incidents, including motor vehicle crashes. It is important to find a screening tool that can be used specifically for Hispanics because although heavy drinking is as common in Hispanics as it is in African Americans and non-Hispanic Whites, serious consequences of heavy drinking are more common in Hispanics than in other ethnic groups.
