Cannabis users are at high risk of developing cannabis use disorder which is a problematic pattern of cannabis use leading to clinically significant impairment or distress.
To assess the magnitude of cannabis use disorder and associated factors among young adults using cannabis at Shashemene Town, Oromia Region, Ethiopia.
A cross-sectional study was conducted at Shashemene Town, from May to June 2016. Young adults aged 18-25 who use cannabis and are permanent residents of Shashemene were included in the study. Using single proportion formula, 423 participants were selected using exponential discriminative snow ball sampling.
This study revealed that the magnitude of cannabis use disorder was 42.2%. The most contributing factors that remained to be statistically significant with cannabis use disorder were common mental disorder (AOR = 2.125, 95% CI: 1.218, 3.708), current cigarette smoking (AOR = 6.118, 95% CI: 2.13, 17.575), and current use of shisha (AOR = 4.313, 95% CI: 2.427, 7.664).
The magnitude of cannabis use disorder among young adults using cannabis was high.
大麻使用者患大麻使用障碍的风险很高,大麻使用障碍是一种有问题的大麻使用模式,会导致临床上明显的损害或痛苦。
评估埃塞俄比亚奥罗米亚州沙舍梅内镇使用大麻的年轻人中大麻使用障碍的严重程度及相关因素。
2016年5月至6月在沙舍梅内镇进行了一项横断面研究。研究纳入了年龄在18 - 25岁、使用大麻且为沙舍梅内永久居民的年轻人。使用单比例公式,通过指数判别式雪球抽样选取了423名参与者。
本研究显示大麻使用障碍的严重程度为42.2%。与大麻使用障碍在统计学上仍具有显著相关性的最主要因素是常见精神障碍(比值比 = 2.125,95%置信区间:1.218,3.708)、当前吸烟(比值比 = 6.118,95%置信区间:2.13,17.575)以及当前使用水烟(比值比 = 4.313,95%置信区间:2.427,7.664)。
在使用大麻的年轻人中,大麻使用障碍的严重程度较高。
