A ground-breaking new study suggests that at least 200 people in Donegal may have had an alcohol-related brain injury in recent years, a condition the report said has been under-diagnosed in Ireland.
Eamon O’Kane, director of the North West Alcohol Forum, which published the study, said the research came about because the organisation believed the lack of accurate research was impairing the diagnosis of alcohol-related brain injury (ARBI) within the north-west and cross-border region.
“Our report outlines how best to respond and highlights best practice actions and recommendations that would greatly improve the care of patients with ARBI in this country,” Mr. O’Kane said.
