While studies show evidence of a clear problem with the prevalence of crack cocaine and codeine cough syrup use separately, the relationship between these substances of abuse and concurrent polydrug use is unknown. In an attempt to ascertain beyond anecdotal evidence, the authors carried out a cross-sectional study among 482 African-American crack users to investigate the differences between those who were concurrently codeine cough syrup users and those who were not codeine cough syrup users in Houston, Texas. Logistic regression indicated that codeine use was significantly associated with lower participant age and lower education; codeine cough syrup users were significantly more likely than nonusers to not have a main sexual partner. In addition, codeine users had significantly higher odds of ever trading sex for money, marijuana use, and fry use. These findings are important in determining the "cultural novelties" relative to crack and codeine use among younger African Americans.
虽然研究表明，单独使用快克可卡因和可待因止咳糖浆的流行存在明显问题，但这些滥用物质与同时使用多种药物之间的关系尚不清楚。为了确定确凿证据，作者对482名非裔美国快克使用者进行了一项横断面研究，以调查在得克萨斯州休斯敦同时使用可待因止咳糖浆的使用者与不使用可待因止咳糖浆的使用者之间的差异。逻辑回归表明，使用可待因与参与者年龄较小和受教育程度较低显著相关；与不使用者相比，可待因止咳糖浆使用者没有主要性伴侣的可能性显著更高。此外，使用可待因的人通过性行为换取金钱、使用大麻和使用快克的几率显著更高。这些发现对于确定年轻非裔美国人中与使用快克和可待因相关的“文化新奇现象”具有重要意义。
