This study aimed to examine patterns of illicit recreational drug use, alcohol consumption, and smoking in a community-based population sample. A postal questionnaire survey was conducted of people who were selected at random from the Electoral registers of Cardiff and Merthyr Tydfil. Twelve percent of respondents reported illicit recreational drug use in the last year, and 7% in the last month. Among respondents aged under 25 years, 34% (39% of males and 31% of females) had used illicit drugs in the last year, and 19% (23% of males and 17% of females) in the last month. Twenty-one percent of respondents smoked (20% of males and 22% of females). Twenty-seven percent of respondents reported drinking more alcohol than currently recommended sensible limits (36% of males and 21% of females). Among respondents aged under 25 years, 53% of men and 38% of women drank over these limits. Illicit drug use was associated with heavy alcohol consumption and, in particular, with smoking. Smoking and heavy alcohol consumption combined was most strongly associated with illicit drug use. Rates of illicit recreational drug use were higher than have previously been reported for Wales. Illicit drug use and smoking varied with age, sex, work status and geographical location, whereas heavy alcohol consumption varied with age, sex and work status, but not geographical location. Both smoking and alcohol consumption were associated with illicit drug use, with smokers who were also heavy drinkers being those most likely to report illicit drug use.
本研究旨在调查以社区为基础的人群样本中非法娱乐性药物使用、饮酒和吸烟的模式。对从加的夫和梅瑟蒂德菲尔选民登记册中随机抽取的人员进行了邮政问卷调查。12%的受访者报告在过去一年中使用过非法娱乐性药物，7%的受访者报告在过去一个月中使用过。在25岁以下的受访者中，34%（男性为39%，女性为31%）在过去一年中使用过非法药物，19%（男性为23%，女性为17%）在过去一个月中使用过。21%的受访者吸烟（男性为20%，女性为22%）。27%的受访者报告饮酒量超过目前建议的合理限度（男性为36%，女性为21%）。在25岁以下的受访者中，53%的男性和38%的女性饮酒量超过这些限度。非法药物使用与大量饮酒有关，尤其是与吸烟有关。吸烟和大量饮酒同时存在与非法药物使用的关联最为强烈。非法娱乐性药物使用的比例高于此前威尔士所报告的比例。非法药物使用和吸烟因年龄、性别、工作状态和地理位置而异，而大量饮酒则因年龄、性别和工作状态而异，但与地理位置无关。吸烟和饮酒都与非法药物使用有关，既是吸烟者又是大量饮酒者的人最有可能报告使用过非法药物。
