NURSES CAN NOT JUST TREAT DRINK-RELATED INJURIES BUT HELP PREVENT THEM

This British study found that young men who had suffered facial injuries after heavy drinking significantly cut back after brief motivational counselling in a hospital clinic specialising in these types of injury. The fact that these clinics see many heavy drinkers makes such work particularly worthwhile. Importantly, the clinic's own nurses were able to conduct the intervention.
