Prevent Alcohol and Risk Related Trauma in Youth

Last updated

Prevent Alcohol and Risk Related Trauma in Youth (P.A.R.T.Y.) is an evidence-based [1] [2] international health promotion program. The model was initially developed in 1986 at the Sunnybrook Hospital [3] in Ontario, Canada. It targets adolescents: an age group with a particularly high likelihood of sustaining trauma related to alcohol use and other high-risk behaviours in North America [4] and countries around the world. [5]

Overview

Whereas the general model is grounded in health promotion theory and best practices, [1] [6] [7] individual P.A.R.T.Y. programs generally run out of local hospitals, working closely with local law enforcement, education, mental health, emergency services, and other agencies [8] to deliver relevant, evidence-based programming appropriate for each community.[ citation needed ]

In North America, P.A.R.T.Y often runs complementary to other community initiatives such as the DARE Program, [9] which is aimed at a younger audience. Differences amongst individual P.A.R.T.Y. programs reflect cultural and geographical differences as well as statistical priorities (e.g., priorities can range from abnormally high levels of drinking and driving to excessive all-terrain vehicle injuries). In addition to programs in Eastern [10] and Western Canada, [11] for example, programs have been developed for aboriginal groups [12] within Canada, as well as urban America, [13] Australia, [14] and Japan.

In medicine, triage is a process by which care providers such as medical professionals and those with first aid knowledge determine the order of priority for providing treatment to injured individuals and/or inform the rationing of limited supplies so that they go to those who can most benefit from it. Triage is usually relied upon when there are more injured individuals than available care providers, or when there are more injured individuals than supplies to treat them.

A trauma center, or trauma centre, is a hospital equipped and staffed to provide care for patients suffering from major traumatic injuries such as falls, motor vehicle collisions, or gunshot wounds. A trauma center may also refer to an emergency department without the presence of specialized services to care for victims of major trauma.
