Substance use is a common contributing factor to emergency department (ED) presentations. While screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment for alcohol and tobacco is common in ED settings, it is not routinely conducted for illicit substances. This study aimed to deploy the ASSIST-Lite to screen for risky use of alcohol and other drugs in the ED, to identify differences in risk based on between demographic characteristics.

急诊室的物质使用：使用 ASSIST-Lite 筛查危险药物使用

物质使用是急诊科 (ED) 就诊的常见促成因素。虽然酒精和烟草的筛查、简短干预和转诊治疗在急诊室很常见，但对于非法物质并不常规进行。本研究旨在部署 ASSIST-Lite 以筛查急诊室中酒精和其他药物的风险使用情况，以确定基于人口统计学特征的风险差异。
