Subst Use Misuse. 2011;46 Suppl 1:21-6. doi: 10.3109/10826084.2011.580175.
Volatile substance misuse (VSM) among Israeli youth has been identified as widespread and growing. Using data from the 2009 National School Survey of 12-18 year olds (N = 7,166), this study describes VSM prevalence among Jews and Arabs, examining relationships between past-month VSM and sociodemographic, behavioral, psychological, and interpersonal characteristics. Past-month VSM, reported by 7.5% of respondents, was significantly associated with other risky behaviors including past-month illicit drug use (Adjusted odds ratios (AOR) = 5.41, 95% CI: 3.5-8.1), Internet gambling (AOR = 2.12, 95% CI: 1.5-3.1), smoking, binge drinking, and truancy. National drug policy must address VSM and develop strategies to reduce demand and supply. Potential study limitations are noted.
以色列青年中挥发性物质滥用（VSM）的问题已被确认为广泛存在且呈上升趋势。本研究利用 2009 年对 12-18 岁青少年进行的全国学校调查（N=7166）的数据，描述了犹太人和阿拉伯人之间 VSM 的流行情况，考察了过去一个月 VSM 与社会人口统计学、行为、心理和人际关系特征之间的关系。过去一个月 VSM 的报告率为 7.5%，与其他危险行为显著相关，包括过去一个月非法药物使用（调整后的优势比（AOR）=5.41，95%置信区间：3.5-8.1）、互联网赌博（AOR=2.12，95%置信区间：1.5-3.1）、吸烟、狂饮和逃学。国家毒品政策必须解决 VSM 问题，并制定减少需求和供应的策略。注意到潜在的研究局限性。
