Preventing violence-related injuries in England and Wales: a panel study examining the impact of on-trade and off-trade alcohol prices
Conclusions
Small increases in the price of alcohol, above inflation, in both markets, would substantially reduce the number of patients attending EDs for treatment of violence-related injuries in England and Wales. Reforming the current alcohol taxation system may be more effective at reducing violence-related injury than minimum unit pricing.
