Alcohol and electric scooter injuries in an emergency department: a prospective observational study
Alcohol use was more prevalent among e-scooter riders presenting nighttime to the ED. Face and head injuries were more frequent with alcohol use. E-scooter city trips and injuries in the ED were reduced when the number of rental e-scooters had been limited. Future studies should evaluate interventions targeting intoxicated nighttime riding and helmet use.
