This study determined the prevalence of and risk factors for substance use among rural Taiwanese.
We used a survey of a representative sample of 6318 participants aged 13 to 35 years in I-Lan, Taiwan, in 1996 through 1997.
Perceived use of illicit drugs by peers, tobacco smoking, betel quid chewing, and male gender were the strongest predictors of illicit drug use. The prevalence of illicit drug use ranged from 0.3% among those who did not use any other substance to 7.1% among those using tobacco, betel quid, and alcohol.
Preventive measures should address substance use in general rather than aiming at single substances.
本研究确定了台湾农村地区物质使用的患病率及危险因素。
我们于1996年至1997年对台湾宜兰6318名年龄在13至35岁的代表性样本进行了一项调查。
同伴对非法药物的感知使用、吸烟、嚼槟榔和男性性别是非法药物使用的最强预测因素。非法药物使用的患病率范围从未使用任何其他物质的人群中的0.3%到使用烟草、槟榔和酒精的人群中的7.1%。
预防措施应针对一般物质使用,而不是针对单一物质。
