There is inconsistent evidence examining the relationship between bullying victimization and illicit drug use, with most studies only examining the association between bullying victimization and marijuana use. The current study aims to (1) determine the relationship between bullying victimization and six types of illicit drug use among boys and girls in grades 7 to 12 and (2) examine gender and grade differences in the relationships between bullying victimization and drug use.
Data were drawn from the Manitoba Youth Health Survey (N = 64,174) collected in the 2012-2013 school year among students in grades 7 to 12 from Manitoba, Canada. Logistic regression models were used to analyze the relationships between nine different types of bullying victimization and marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamines, ecstasy, hallucinogens, and prescription/over-the-counter drugs used to get high. All analyses were stratified by gender and grade.
Bullying victimization was associated with increased odds of all types of drug use among boys and girls in grades 7 to 12. A dose-response relationship was noted with more frequent bullying victimization corresponding to greater odds of drug use. Grade and gender differences were found for some drug use types.
There are strong relationships between bullying victimization and illicit drug use among boys and girls in grades 7 to 12, indicating that reductions in bullying victimization may result in reductions in illicit drug use. Grade and gender differences may signify the need for early and gender-specific bullying prevention and intervention strategies.
有证据表明，受欺凌与使用非法药物之间的关系并不一致，大多数研究仅检验了受欺凌与大麻使用之间的关联。本研究旨在：(1) 确定 7 至 12 年级的男女生中受欺凌与六种非法药物使用之间的关系；(2) 检验欺凌与药物使用之间的关系在性别和年级上的差异。
数据来自加拿大马尼托巴省 2012-2013 学年 7 至 12 年级学生参加的马尼托巴青年健康调查（N=64174）。使用逻辑回归模型分析了 9 种不同类型的欺凌受害与大麻、可卡因、冰毒、摇头丸、迷幻剂和用于致瘾的处方/非处方药物之间的关系。所有分析均按性别和年级分层。
受欺凌与 7 至 12 年级男女生的所有类型药物使用的几率增加相关。随着受欺凌的频率增加，药物使用的几率也随之增加，呈现出剂量反应关系。在某些药物使用类型上发现了年级和性别差异。
在 7 至 12 年级的男女生中，受欺凌与非法药物使用之间存在很强的关系，这表明减少受欺凌可能会导致非法药物使用的减少。年级和性别差异可能表明需要制定早期和针对特定性别的欺凌预防和干预策略。
