| Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Paddington
Alcohol Test (PAT) was first published in the Journal of Accident and
Emergency Medicine in 1996. It was designed to identify alcohol-related
problems amongst those attending Accident and Emergency departments. It
concords well with the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT)
questionnaire but is administered in a fifth of the time.When 40-70% of
the patients in an Accident and Emergency department (AED) are there
because of alcohol-related issues, it is useful for the staff of the AED
to determine which of them are hazardous drinkers so that they can treat
the underlying cause and offer brief advice which may reduce the health
impact of alcohol for that patient. |
