To identify the prevalence, patterns and trends of illicit drug use in the general population of selected high-prevalence areas in China between 1993 and 2000.
DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: Cluster sampling was employed and the Epidemiological Inventory for Illicit Drug Use (EIIDU) used as survey instrument. In 1993, 1996 and 2000, 56 792, 67 319 and 53 747 individuals aged 15 or above in community were interviewed, respectively, at the three time-points.
Demographics and drug-related data were collected and the prevalence patterns of illicit drug are described.
The life-time prevalences of illicit drug use in the three consecutive surveys in 1993, 1996 and 2000 were 1.08, 1.60 and 1.52%, respectively, and the 1-year prevalence rates were 0.91, 1.17 and 1.17%, respectively. Heroin was the first choice for drug use (51.8% in 1993, 83.4% in 1993 and 95.9% in 2000). The two most frequent routes of drug administration were inhalation (89.2% in 1993, 60.1% in 1996 and 93.5% in 2000) and intravenous injection (27.2% in 1993, 31.0% in 1996 and 25.7% in 2000).
At least for the time being, illicit drug use may have plateaued in these selected high-prevalence areas.
确定1993年至2000年间中国部分高流行地区普通人群中非法药物使用的流行率、模式和趋势。
设计、地点和参与者:采用整群抽样,并使用非法药物使用流行病学调查表(EIIDU)作为调查工具。在1993年、1996年和2000年这三个时间点,分别对社区中15岁及以上的56792名、67319名和53747名个体进行了访谈。
收集人口统计学和与药物相关的数据,并描述非法药物的流行模式。
1993年、1996年和2000年这三次连续调查中,非法药物使用的终生流行率分别为1.08%、1.60%和1.52%,1年流行率分别为0.91%、1.17%和1.17%。海洛因是首选的毒品(1993年为51.8%,1993年为83.4%,2000年为95.9%)。两种最常见的给药途径是吸入(1993年为89.2%,1996年为60.1%,2000年为93.5%)和静脉注射(1993年为27.2%,1996年为31.0%,2000年为25.7%)。
至少目前,在这些选定的高流行地区,非法药物使用可能已趋于平稳。
