The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of illicit drug use among medical students in Northern Greece, to identify the motivations for cannabis use and also to investigate the possible associations with smoking and alcohol misuse.
A sample of undergraduate students completed an anonymous, self-administered, web-based survey assessing lifetime and past-year illicit substance use. To further evaluate the motivation to use, the responders were classified into three subtypes (self-medication, recreational, and mixed). The CAGE questionnaire and a question assessing binge drinking were also used. Illicit substance use was correlated with age, gender, study year, CAGE and binge drinking.
Five hundred and ninety-one undergraduate medical students completed the survey. The lifetime prevalence of illicit drug use was 24.7 %, while the most used drug was cannabis (22.2 %). The past-month prevalence of cannabis use was 8.1 %. Experimentation was the predominant reported motivation for its use, and the recreational subtype was the most prevalent. Binge drinking behavior was reported by 22.7 % of the sample, and the CAGE screening test was positive for 6.4 % of the students. Most students (80.4 %) characterized themselves as non-smokers. In the multivariate analysis, lifetime use of illicit drugs was significantly correlated with smoking and binge drinking. No associations were found with gender, age, study year or CAGE.
Smoking and binge drinking were found to be risk factors for illicit drug use, whereas no association was found with gender, age, study year and CAGE. HIPPOKRATIA 2017, 21(1): 13-18.
本研究旨在估计希腊北部医学生中非法药物使用的流行率，确定大麻使用的动机，并调查其与吸烟和酒精滥用之间可能存在的关联。
抽取一组本科生完成一项基于网络的匿名自填式调查，评估终生及过去一年的非法药物使用情况。为进一步评估使用动机，将应答者分为三种亚型（自我治疗型、娱乐型和混合型）。还使用了CAGE问卷和一个评估暴饮的问题。非法药物使用与年龄、性别、学年、CAGE和暴饮情况相关。
591名本科医学生完成了调查。非法药物使用的终生流行率为24.7%，而使用最多的药物是大麻（22.2%）。过去一个月大麻使用的流行率为8.1%。报告的使用大麻的主要动机是尝试，娱乐型亚型最为普遍。22.7%的样本报告有暴饮行为，6.4%的学生CAGE筛查试验呈阳性。大多数学生（80.4%）称自己不吸烟。在多变量分析中，非法药物的终生使用与吸烟和暴饮显著相关。未发现与性别、年龄、学年或CAGE存在关联。
吸烟和暴饮被发现是非法药物使用的风险因素，而未发现与性别、年龄、学年和CAGE存在关联。《希波克拉底》2017年，21(1): 13 - 18。
