These analyses assess contextual profiles of 612 young adult ecstasy users, 18-30 years of age, from St. Louis (USA), Miami (USA) and Sydney (Australia). Bivariate analyses revealed different contextual factors influencing ecstasy use. Friends were the most common sources of ecstasy at all sites and most used with friends. St. Louis and Miami use mostly occurred in residences, whereas in Sydney use was mostly at clubs, bars or restaurants. Ecstasy consumption at public places and in cars, trains or ferries was significantly higher in Miami (89% and 77%) than in St. Louis (67% and 65%) and Sydney (67% and 61%). At all sites, simultaneous use of LSD/mushroom and nitrous oxide with ecstasy was common; concurrent amphetamines predominated in Sydney and heroin/opiates in St. Louis Contextual factors influencing ecstasy use among young adults vary by geographic region. Their inclusion may help tailor effective prevention programs to reduce or ameliorate ecstasy use.
这些分析评估了来自美国圣路易斯、美国迈阿密和澳大利亚悉尼的 612 名年龄在 18-30 岁之间的年轻阿片剂使用者的情境特征。双变量分析显示，不同的情境因素影响着阿片剂的使用。在所有地点，朋友都是阿片剂最常见的来源，并且大多数是与朋友一起使用。圣路易斯和迈阿密的使用大多发生在住所，而在悉尼，使用则大多在俱乐部、酒吧或餐馆。在公共场所和汽车、火车或渡轮上消费阿片剂的比例在迈阿密（89%和 77%）显著高于圣路易斯（67%和 65%）和悉尼（67%和 61%）。在所有地点，同时使用 LSD/蘑菇和一氧化二氮与阿片剂很常见；同时使用安非他命在悉尼很普遍，而在圣路易斯则是海洛因/阿片类药物。影响年轻人使用阿片剂的情境因素因地理位置而异。将这些因素纳入考虑可能有助于制定有针对性的预防计划，以减少或改善阿片剂的使用。
