The effect on emergency department visits of raised alcohol minimum prices in Saskatchewan, Canada

ConclusionsThe minimum pricing policy change led to a lagged decrease in motor vehicle‐collision‐related ED visits for women older than 25. Of note, there did not appear to be an instantaneous effect on the rate of alcohol‐related injury ED visits immediately after the policy implementation nor lagged effects for other gender‐age groups.
