A Multilevel Model of Alcohol Outlet Density, Individual Characteristics and Alcohol-Related Injury in Argentinean Young Adults.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Previous research from high-income countries has consistently shown an association between alcohol-related harms and neighborhood characteristics such as alcohol outlet density, but this research has not been extended to middle- and low-income countries.
