项目摘要

Little is known about alcohol use by persons with disabilities. Yet some persons with disabilities may be at risk for alcohol abuse, dependence or addiction. A pilot study examining pre- admission patterns of alcohol use by rehabilitation inpatients found that persons with spinal cord injuries may be at particular risk Medical and vocational rehabilitation outcome may be profoundly influenced by alcohol abuse; however, this relationship has yet to be established. This three-year, prospective project will study the relationship between alcohol use and rehabilitation outcome in a sample of 150 persons with recent injuries, Initial, 6-, 12-, 18- and 30-month evaluations are planned; to date, three-quarters of the initial evaluations are complete. While internal funds were made available to demonstrate the feasibility of this project; no further internal funds are available. Hence, this proposal requests funding to evaluate post-injury alcohol use, the rehabilitation outcome achieved by study participants, and the relationship between alcohol use and rehabilitation outcome. Instruments that produce quantifiable data will be used to assess demographic characteristics; medical history; depression; acceptance of disability; frequency, quantity and recency of alcohol abuse family history of alcohol abuse; and rehabilitation outcome. Frequency, discriminant, factor and path analyses will be used to analyze the data. Early identification of persons with spinal cord injuries who abuse or are addicted to alcohol, or who are at risk for abuse, should decrease the cost of rehabilitation and improve rehabilitation outcome. Since the annual medical cost for all persons with SCI is estimated at $1.9 billion, timely and effective intervention for persons with cord injuries who abuse or are at risk for alcohol abuse is both humane and cost effective.

对于残疾人的饮酒情况知之甚少。然而，一些残疾人可能面临酗酒的风险滥用、依赖或成瘾。一项试点研究检查预康复住院患者的入院饮酒模式发现脊髓损伤的人可能特别容易风险医疗和职业康复结果可能是深受酗酒影响；然而，这种关系尚未确定。这个为期三年的前瞻性项目将研究这种关系 150 名样本中的饮酒与康复结果之间的关系最近受伤的人，初始、6、12、18 和 30 个月评估已计划；迄今为止，最初的四分之三评估已完成。虽然内部资金可用论证该项目的可行性；没有进一步的内部资金到位。因此，该提案要求提供资金评估受伤后的饮酒情况、康复结果研究参与者所取得的成就以及之间的关系酒精使用和康复结果。生产仪器可量化的数据将用于评估人口统计特征;病史；沮丧;接受残疾；酗酒家庭的频率、数量和新近度酗酒史；和康复结果。频率，将使用判别分析、因子分析和路径分析来分析数据。及早识别有虐待行为的脊髓损伤者或酗酒成瘾，或有滥用风险的人，应该降低康复费用并改善康复效果结果。由于所有 SCI 患者的年度医疗费用估计需要 19 亿美元，及时有效的干预脊髓损伤、酗酒或有酗酒风险的人虐待既人道又具有成本效益。
