To examine the contributions of international holiday resorts and visitors' nationality to recruitment, relapse into, and escalation in frequency of recreational drug use.
Retrospective design surveying British, German and Spanish (n = 3,003) holidaymakers aged 16-35 visiting Ibiza or Majorca (Spain).
Individuals' drug use in international resorts was related to use at home, holiday destination and nationality. While visiting Ibiza, 7.2% of British tourists tried ecstasy for the first time with similar recruitment amongst Spanish (8.6%) but not Germans (1.8%) or those visiting Majorca (0.8, 1.5 and 1.2%, respectively). Recruitment into cocaine use was associated with being Spanish, male, visiting Ibiza and drunkenness. One in 5 British holidaymakers visiting Ibiza tried at least one new drug. British and Spanish were most likely to relapse into using a drug after at least 12 months' abstinence; 6.8% of British (1.3% German, 2.9% Spanish) relapsed into using at least one drug. Across nationalities, substance use frequency increased on holiday.
International nightlife resorts are major sources of recruitment, relapse and escalation in drug use. Such resorts contribute to the international spread of drug cultures but have been largely ignored as settings for interventions to tackle drugs.
研究国际度假胜地及游客国籍对消遣性药物使用的招募、复吸及使用频率增加的影响。
采用回顾性设计，对16 - 35岁前往伊维萨岛或马略卡岛（西班牙）的英国、德国和西班牙度假者（n = 3003）进行调查。
个人在国际度假胜地的药物使用与在家中的使用情况、度假目的地及国籍有关。在访问伊维萨岛时，7.2%的英国游客首次尝试摇头丸，西班牙游客中的招募比例与之相似（8.6%），但德国游客（1.8%）或访问马略卡岛的游客（分别为0.8%、1.5%和1.2%）中该比例较低。可卡因使用的招募与西班牙国籍、男性、访问伊维萨岛及醉酒有关。访问伊维萨岛的英国度假者中有五分之一至少尝试了一种新药物。英国人和西班牙人在至少禁欲12个月后最有可能复吸使用药物；6.8%的英国人（1.3%的德国人、2.9%的西班牙人）复吸使用了至少一种药物。在不同国籍中，度假期间药物使用频率增加。
国际夜生活度假胜地是药物使用招募、复吸及使用频率增加的主要来源。此类度假胜地促成了毒品文化的国际传播，但在很大程度上被忽视作为应对毒品干预措施的场所。
