A groundbreaking new 3 year trial taking place in Canberra will hopefully help curb alcohol fuelled violence, by providing more insight into the issue.
Calvary Hospital will be recording Canberra’s alcohol “hotspots”, including how much alcohol is being consumed by emergency department patients.
The study will reveal how much alcohol fuelled violence is impacting the health sector, as well as the venues that are doing the most harm.
This is important, given that assaults are on the rise in Canberra’s CBD, according to FARE.
