We examined the association between five types of childhood maltreatment and initiation of injection drug use among a cohort of high-risk youth in Vancouver, Canada. Among 560 participants, 230 (41.1%) had injected drugs previously. In multivariate logistic analyses, only physical abuse (adjusted odds ratio = 1.91, 95% confidence interval: 1.29-2.83) was associated with injection drug use. These findings highlight the impact of childhood physical abuse on subsequent initiation into injection drug use among high-risk youth.
我们在加拿大温哥华的一组高危青少年队列中,研究了五种类型的童年期虐待与注射吸毒起始之间的关联。在560名参与者中,230人(41.1%)曾注射过毒品。在多变量逻辑分析中,只有身体虐待(调整后的优势比=1.91,95%置信区间:1.29 - 2.83)与注射吸毒有关。这些发现凸显了童年期身体虐待对高危青少年随后开始注射吸毒的影响。
