This study examined the prevalence of drug use in a nationally representative sample of 1989 recipients and 6840 nonrecipients of four welfare programs. Data from the 1995 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA) were analyzed using the conditional form of multiple logistic regression with matching of respondents on neighborhood of residence. Weighted proportions and variances accounting for the complex sample design of the NHSDA survey were estimated using the Taylor series linearization method. The results indicate that drug use is 50% more common in households with welfare recipients than in nonwelfare households. Programs making welfare eligibility contingent on the recipient working toward a drug-free lifestyle are worth examining, although a vigilant eye must be kept on the potential unintended consequences.
本研究调查了四个福利项目的1989名受助者和6840名非受助者的全国代表性样本中的药物使用流行情况。使用条件形式的多重逻辑回归分析了1995年全国药物滥用家庭调查（NHSDA）的数据，并根据受访者居住的社区进行匹配。采用泰勒级数线性化方法估计了考虑NHSDA调查复杂样本设计的加权比例和方差。结果表明，有福利受助者的家庭中药物使用的情况比无福利家庭普遍50%。尽管必须密切关注潜在的意外后果，但那些将福利资格与受助者努力实现无毒品生活方式挂钩的项目值得研究。
