The aim of the study was to investigate factors related to initiation and abandonment of illegal drugs. A follow-up study on 53 drug addicts originally hospitalized because of parenterally acquired hepatitis was performed using questionnaires. The majority stated that curiosity and peer pressure were the main reasons for starting drug use. Family conflicts, school and mental problems were each reported by about 40% of the subjects. Thirty-nine patients (74%) had abandoned addictive drugs during the approximately 25 years that had elapsed since the hospital stay. All of these thought that own efforts had been most important in this achievement. Other important factors were help and support from family and friends, establishing a family or experiencing acute hepatitis or an overdose.
该研究的目的是调查与非法药物使用起始及戒除相关的因素。对53名最初因注射感染性肝炎而住院的吸毒者进行了一项随访研究，采用问卷调查方式。大多数人表示，好奇心和同伴压力是开始吸毒的主要原因。约40%的受试者分别报告了家庭冲突、学校问题和心理问题。自住院以来大约25年的时间里，39名患者（74%）已戒除成瘾性药物。所有这些人都认为自身努力对这一成果最为重要。其他重要因素包括家人和朋友的帮助与支持、组建家庭或经历急性肝炎或药物过量。
