This article summarizes data from a 2004 study of over 300,000 high school students (aged 13-18 years) in nine South American countries. A probabilistic sample targeted urban secondary schools, utilizing a self-administered questionnaire on prevalence and frequency of substance use. Multivariate analysis showed that volatile substances were the first or second most commonly reported substances used after alcohol and cigarettes in all countries (lifetime prevalence range: 2.67% [Paraguay] to 16.55% [Brazil]). Previous studies have highlighted volatile substance misuse among street children, whereas this study demonstrates that it is common among South American high school students.
本文总结了 2004 年对 9 个南美国家超过 30 万名 13-18 岁高中生的研究数据。采用概率抽样方法，针对城市中学，利用自填式问卷，调查物质使用的流行率和频率。多变量分析显示，在所有国家，挥发性物质是继酒精和香烟之后，报告率最高或第二高的物质（终生流行率范围：2.67%[巴拉圭]至 16.55%[巴西]）。先前的研究强调街头儿童中挥发性物质滥用问题，而本研究表明，这在南美高中生中也很常见。
