BACKGROUND
Marijuana is currently the most commonly used drug on college campuses. Marijuana use among college students is increasing, and many students begin using marijuana during college. The goal of this study was to investigate predictors of lifetime marijuana use at college entry and initiation during freshman year.
METHODS
We used responses from the first two semesters of a longitudinal study of 3146 students from 11 colleges in North Carolina and Virginia. Random-effects logistic regression models were constructed to identify factors that predict lifetime marijuana use at college entry and initiation during freshman year.
RESULTS
Nearly 30% of students reported ever having used marijuana at college entry. Among students who had never used marijuana prior to college, 8.5% initiated use during freshman year. In multivariable logistic regression models, having at least $100 per month in spending money; attending church rarely or never; current use of cigarettes, alcohol, and hookah tobacco; lifetime use of other illicit drugs; and a higher propensity toward sensation seeking were associated with a higher likelihood of having used marijuana at least once at college entry. Hispanic ethnicity, living on campus, and current use of cigarettes and alcohol were associated with a higher likelihood of initiating marijuana use during freshman year.
CONCLUSION
These results have implications for targeting substance abuse prevention programs on college campuses.
背景
大麻是目前大学校园里最常用的毒品。大学生中使用大麻的人数正在增加，许多学生在大学期间开始使用大麻。本研究的目的是调查进入大学时和大一期间终生使用大麻的预测因素。
方法
我们使用了北卡罗来纳州和弗吉尼亚州 11 所大学 3146 名学生在前两个学期的纵向研究中的回复。构建了随机效应逻辑回归模型，以确定预测进入大学时和大一时终生使用大麻的因素。
结果
近 30%的学生报告在进入大学时曾使用过大麻。在进入大学前从未使用过大麻的学生中，有 8.5%在大一期间开始使用。在多变量逻辑回归模型中，每月至少有 100 美元的零花钱；很少或从不参加教堂活动；目前使用香烟、酒精和水烟；终生使用其他非法药物；以及更高的寻求刺激倾向与在大学时至少使用过一次大麻的可能性更高相关。西班牙裔、住校和目前使用香烟和酒精与在大一期间开始使用大麻的可能性更高相关。
结论
这些结果对针对大学校园的药物滥用预防计划具有重要意义。
