Alcohol Related Hospital Admissions in a Country Town
View through CrossRef
Abstract: In order to determine the characteristics of the hospital morbidity associated with alcohol in a country town with a large Aboriginal population, we conducted a prospective study of alcohol related hospital admissions in 1985 in Bourke, an isolated community in northwest New South Wales. The alcohol related admission rate for Bourke Aboriginal adults was much higher (160/thousand) than for non Aboriginals (20/thousand). The most important difference in the primary diagnosis between the two ethnic groups was in the much higher proportion of Aboriginals admitted with seizures. Aboriginal alcohol related admissions to Bourke District Hospital appear to have declined as a proportion of total admissions from 1971 (39.5%) to 1985 (25.4%).
