A sample of 457 undergraduate university students were surveyed to assess their current use of illicit drugs. Such information is to be used as a baseline to examine the effectiveness of drug prevention programs designed for this population. Marijuana was the most common illicit drug used among these students, and men were significantly more likely to report use. Age differences were noted; older students (age greater than or equal to 22 yr.) were more likely to report drug use than those students under 22 years of age. The age differences suggest that there may be a shift away from drug use among the younger students. The low over-all rate of drug use may make difficult the evaluation of prevention programs.
对457名本科大学生进行了抽样调查,以评估他们目前非法药物的使用情况。这些信息将用作基线,以检验为该人群设计的毒品预防项目的有效性。大麻是这些学生中最常使用的非法药物,男性报告使用大麻的可能性显著更高。注意到了年龄差异;年龄较大的学生(年龄大于或等于22岁)比22岁以下的学生更有可能报告使用毒品。年龄差异表明,年轻学生中可能存在远离毒品使用的转变。总体较低的毒品使用率可能会使预防项目的评估变得困难。
