Impact of Patients Presenting with Alcohol and/or Drug Intoxication on In-Event Health Care Services at Mass-Gathering Events: An Integrative Literature Review[1]
Summary
Integrative review (12 manuscripts) of how alcohol/drug-intoxicated patients affect in-event health services, organized into three themes: predictive factors, patient presentation rates, and levels of care. Concludes substance use strains in-event services and that music festivals are the most affected event type.
So what
The service-impact framing the toxicology domain needed alongside its clinical papers: intoxication is a workload and levels-of-care problem, not just a patient problem, and the review formalizes music festivals as the highest-strain class — the same conclusion van Dijken later quantified at 7.5M-attendee scale. Useful as the bridge citation between the Delany sporting-event review and the festival series.
Key findings
- 12-study integrative review of intoxication impact on in-event services
- Themes: predictive factors, PPRs, levels of care
- Music festivals identified as the most substance-affected event type
- Service-strain framing complements the clinical toxicology shelf
