Abstract

OBJECTIVE

To estimate the prevalence of tobacco, alcohol and drug use among dental undergraduates at one English university in 2008, and compare these with prevalence in 1998.

DESIGN

Cross-sectional survey using an anonymous self-report questionnaire.

SUBJECTS AND METHODS

In 2008 all 384 dental undergraduates at one English university were sent a questionnaire in order to obtain data on the frequency and amount of tobacco, alcohol, cannabis and other illicit drugs used before and during their time as a dental undergraduate. The same survey had been conducted on dental undergraduates at the university 10 years earlier.

RESULTS

Tobacco smoking was reported by 27% of males and 13.5% of females, a reduction from 1998 (42% of males and 32% of females) being significant among females. 63% of males and 69.5% of females reported drinking alcohol: significantly fewer than in 1998 (82% males and 90% females). Binge drinking was reported by 69.5% of males compared to 56% in 1998. In females 66% binged compared to 58.5% in 1998. The increase in males was significant. 62% of males and 68% of females had never used cannabis compared to 38% in males and 50.5% of females in 1998, a significant reduction. A significant reduction in amphetamine use was reported among both male and female undergraduates in 2008 compared to 1998 and a significant increase in amyl nitrate use was reported by females. Reported illicit drug use was associated with alcohol drinking, and particularly with tobacco use.

CONCLUSION

Dental undergraduates at one English university in 2008 when compared to those in 1998 are reported to be significantly less likely to drink alcohol, use cannabis and amphetamines. If female, they are significantly less likely to smoke tobacco and overestimate the number of units of alcohol they can safely consume in a week, but more likely to use amyl nitrate. If male, those who drink alcohol are significantly less likely to drink at a level of increased risk, but more likely to binge drink.

摘要

目的

评估 2008 年英国一所大学牙科学本科生的烟草、酒精和药物使用情况，并将其与 1998 年的情况进行比较。

设计

使用匿名自报问卷进行横断面调查。

对象和方法

2008 年，英国一所大学的 384 名牙科学本科生全部收到了一份问卷，以获取他们在成为牙科学本科生之前和期间使用烟草、酒精、大麻和其他非法药物的频率和数量的数据。10 年前，该校的牙科学本科生也接受了同样的调查。

结果

男性中有 27%，女性中有 13.5%报告吸烟，女性的吸烟率明显低于 1998 年（男性为 42%，女性为 32%）。63%的男性和 69.5%的女性报告饮酒：明显少于 1998 年（男性为 82%，女性为 90%）。69.5%的男性报告狂饮，而 1998 年为 56%。66%的女性狂饮，而 1998 年为 58.5%。男性的增幅显著。62%的男性和 68%的女性从未使用过大麻，而 1998 年男性为 38%，女性为 50.5%，这一比例显著下降。2008 年，男女本科生报告的安非他命使用量均显著减少，而女性报告的亚硝酸戊酯使用量显著增加。报告的非法药物使用与饮酒有关，特别是与吸烟有关。
