The purpose of this study was to estimate differences between perceived and reported drug use among sophomore and junior university students, aged 18 to 24 years, from a public university in Medellin, Colombia.
this is a descriptive and cross-sectional study. All second- and third-year students at the Schools of Medicine, Dentistry, Nursing and Public Health were invited to answer an anonymous questionnaire. In total, 427 students participated.
data suggest that students overestimate the use of tobacco, marijuana and cocaine over the last 12 months. Alcohol use was perceived accurately. Students who reported using those substances during that period overestimated their peers' drug use more than those who did not. Furthermore, more women than men overestimated marijuana use.
本研究的目的是评估哥伦比亚麦德林市一所公立大学18至24岁的大二和大三学生在感知到的和报告的药物使用情况之间的差异。
这是一项描述性横断面研究。邀请了医学院、牙科学院、护理学院和公共卫生学院的所有二年级和三年级学生回答一份匿名问卷。共有427名学生参与。
数据表明,学生高估了过去12个月内烟草、大麻和可卡因的使用情况。酒精使用情况被准确感知。在那段时间报告使用这些物质的学生比未使用的学生更高估其同龄人药物的使用情况。此外,高估大麻使用情况的女性多于男性。
