The objective of this study was to estimate the difference between perceived norms for drug use among university students and their peers, with ages between 18 and 24 years, and attending education and health courses. This cross-sectional study was based on a survey and an anonymous self-administered questionnaire.
in total, 365 students participated. The rates for drug use over the last year were as follows: 43.6% for tobacco; 96.2% for alcohol; 8.2% for marijuana; and 2.2% for cocaine. The perceived norm for drug use over the last year was 78.9% for tobacco, 88.3% for alcohol, 35.4% for marijuana and 20.9% for cocaine. The consumption of alcoholic beverages and the perceived norm were very close, but it was overestimated for tobacco use. Regarding access to drugs being easy or very easy on campus, access to cigarettes and cocaine was underestimated, while marijuana was overestimated.
university students overestimate the use of tobacco, marijuana and cocaine by their peers and have a correct perception of alcohol use. Tobacco is the substance with the most overestimated use.
本研究的目的是评估18至24岁、参加教育和健康课程的大学生与其同龄人在药物使用认知规范上的差异。这项横断面研究基于一项调查和一份匿名自填问卷。
共有365名学生参与。过去一年的药物使用率如下：烟草为43.6%；酒精为96.2%；大麻为8.2%；可卡因为2.2%。过去一年药物使用的认知规范为：烟草78.9%，酒精88.3%，大麻35.4%，可卡因为20.9%。酒精饮料的消费与认知规范非常接近，但烟草使用被高估。关于在校园内获取毒品容易或非常容易，香烟和可卡因的获取被低估，而大麻被高估。
大学生高估了同龄人对烟草、大麻和可卡因的使用，对酒精使用有正确认知。烟草是使用被高估最多的物质。
