Association of Substance Use with Types of Assault-Related Injury Among Black Men in Baltimore, Maryland
Among Black men who received care for an assault-related injury, those who were shot were more likely to have screened positive for cannabis and less likely to have screened positive for alcohol. Socio-contextual factors and acute intoxication effects may explain why differing substance types were associated with different types of assault injury. Future research should examine environmental and social contexts of substance use types among assault-injured men.
