Subst Use Misuse. 2011;46 Suppl 1:50-6. doi: 10.3109/10826084.2011.580209.
Volatile substance misuse (VSM) is increasing among Colombian youth. Rates and correlates of VSM, exposure-opportunity (EO) to VSM, and positive VSM intentions were examined in 2006 among 2,279 students (mean age 14.8 years) in 23 schools in Bogotá, Colombia. Sixteen percent experienced an EO, 3% reported past-year VSM, and 7-10% reported positive VSM intentions. Multilevel-logistic models revealed that VSM among friends was associated with past-year VSM (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 5.56, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 2.3-13.6) and VSM intention (AOR = 2.48, 95%CI = 1.6-3.9). Other correlates include male gender, a low perceived risk, and poor academic achievement. At-risk groups were identified, and targeted prevention strategies were suggested. The study's limitations are also noted.
挥发性物质滥用(VSM)在哥伦比亚青年中呈上升趋势。在 2006 年,对哥伦比亚波哥大 23 所学校的 2279 名学生(平均年龄 14.8 岁)进行了 VSM 的发生率和相关性、接触机会(EO)和 VSM 阳性意向的研究。16%的学生经历过 EO,3%的学生报告过去一年有 VSM,7-10%的学生报告 VSM 阳性意向。多水平逻辑模型显示,朋友中的 VSM 与过去一年的 VSM(调整后的优势比(AOR)=5.56,95%置信区间(CI)=2.3-13.6)和 VSM 意向(AOR=2.48,95%CI=1.6-3.9)有关。其他相关因素包括男性、低风险感知和学业成绩差。确定了高危人群,并提出了有针对性的预防策略。该研究还指出了其局限性。
