The main objective of this paper is to explore poly-drug use among young adult ecstasy users. This phenomenon of using multiple substances within a specific time period is multi-faceted. In this paper, we focus on the various patterns of poly-drug use and the reasons for combining multiple drugs among ecstasy users. Using a mixed-methods design, we conducted interviews with young adults who used ecstasy and other licit and illicit drugs in the past 90 days. Based on the qualitative analyses, we define three distinct types of poly-drug experiences: separate, synergistic, and indiscriminate use. While separate and synergistic poly-drug use tended to be intentional, indiscriminate poly-drug use often was unintentional. These findings show the importance of recognizing poly-drug use as a common phenomenon. The findings presented here suggest areas for further research aimed at identifying risk and protective behaviors and risk reduction strategies.
本文的主要目的是探究年轻的摇头丸使用者中的多药滥用情况。在特定时间段内使用多种物质的这一现象具有多方面的特点。在本文中，我们聚焦于多药滥用的各种模式以及摇头丸使用者中联合使用多种药物的原因。我们采用混合研究方法，对在过去90天内使用过摇头丸及其他合法和非法药物的年轻人进行了访谈。基于定性分析，我们定义了三种不同类型的多药使用体验：分开使用、协同使用和无差别使用。虽然分开使用和协同使用多药往往是有意的，但无差别使用多药通常是无意的。这些发现表明认识到多药滥用是一种常见现象的重要性。此处呈现的研究结果为进一步研究指明了方向，旨在确定风险和保护行为以及降低风险的策略。
