title: Effect on traffic accidents of introducing Sunday alcohol sales in Brisbane, Australia.
abstract: Following introduction of Sunday alcohol sale sessions in Brisbane, there were significant increases in the number of Sunday casualty and reported property damage accidents. The increases still applied during a second 3-year after period. By contrast, none of the various control comparisons gave significant results in the same direction. It was concluded that the study had documented the ongoing adverse effect on traffic accidents of introducing Sunday sessions in Brisbane.
