A significant number of young, low-income women experiment with ecstasy outside of club or rave settings. The current study examined patterns and risk factors of ecstasy use among this group of women. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 696 women aged 18 to 31 who sought gynecological care from two university clinics in southeast Texas between December 1, 2001, and May 30, 2003. Fifteen percent of participants reported ever using ecstasy. Of those, over 90% used it at a friend's home. Compared with women who used only marijuana or other illicit drugs, ecstasy users were more likely to be white, use a larger number of other drugs, be willing to use drugs in the future, and have more friends who used drugs. Fewer ecstasy users strongly disapproved of adult drug use than users of other illicit drugs. Future interventional efforts should target young, low-income women to prevent future experimentation with illicit drugs.
相当多年轻的低收入女性在俱乐部或狂欢派对场合之外尝试摇头丸。当前的研究调查了这群女性使用摇头丸的模式及风险因素。2001年12月1日至2003年5月30日期间，对在得克萨斯州东南部两家大学诊所寻求妇科护理的696名年龄在18至31岁之间的女性进行了横断面调查。15%的参与者报告曾使用过摇头丸。其中，超过90%是在朋友家中使用。与仅使用大麻或其他非法药物的女性相比，摇头丸使用者更可能是白人，使用更多种类的其他药物，愿意在未来使用毒品，并且有更多吸毒的朋友。强烈反对成年人吸毒的摇头丸使用者比其他非法药物使用者更少。未来的干预措施应针对年轻的低收入女性，以防止她们未来尝试非法药物。
