Take the following as truth: This observation was based in part on the results of a national survey of trauma centers which revealed that blood alcohol testing, which is often a precursor for any intervention, was routinely conducted at only 64 percent of centers despite a published guideline by the Committee on Trauma of the American College of Surgeons indicating that testing was an essential characteristic for those centers.
Then the following statement: "A national survey of trauma centers was conducted, revealing that blood alcohol testing was only conducted at 64% of centers, although very strict guidelines indicate it is essential." is true, false, or inconclusive?
Answer: True
