Intention and willingness to use drugs are proximal predictors of drug use; however, willingness to use requires more research to inform prevention efforts. This study examines willingness to use drugs among electronic dance music (EDM) party attendees, a population at high risk for drug use. Data were examined from a repeated cross-sectional study of 2,426 adult EDM party attendees surveyed entering nightclubs and festivals in New York City from 2017 to 2019 using time-space sampling. Trends and correlates of reporting whether participants would use ten different synthetic drugs if offered by a friend in the next thirty days were examined. Ecstasy (31.9%), powder cocaine (25.5%), LSD (20.0%), and opioids (16.4%) were most likely to be used if offered. Willingness to use powder cocaine, LSD, ketamine, amphetamine, tryptamines, and 2C series drugs significantly increased from 2017 to 2019, particularly powder cocaine (increasing from 19.1% to 34.2%, <.001). Any or more recent use of each drug was associated with increases in willingness to use. Past drug use is a consistent predictor of willingness to use if offered, and willingness to use is increasing in this population. Findings can inform prevention efforts by allowing better targeting of those at risk for use.
意图和使用毒品的意愿是使用毒品的近因预测指标；然而，使用意愿需要更多的研究来为预防工作提供信息。本研究调查了电子舞曲 (EDM) 派对参与者的使用毒品意愿，这是一个有高毒品使用风险的人群。该数据来自于 2017 年至 2019 年期间对在纽约市使用时空抽样进入夜总会和音乐节的 2426 名成年 EDM 派对参与者进行的重复横断面研究。研究检查了报告参与者在接下来的 30 天内如果朋友提供十种不同的合成毒品，他们是否会使用这些毒品的趋势和相关因素。如果提供的话，摇头丸（31.9%）、粉可卡因（25.5%）、LSD（20.0%）和阿片类药物（16.4%）最有可能被使用。如果提供的话，使用粉可卡因、LSD、氯胺酮、苯丙胺、色胺和 2C 系列药物的意愿从 2017 年到 2019 年显著增加，尤其是粉可卡因（从 19.1%增加到 34.2%，<.001）。每种药物的任何或最近使用都与使用意愿的增加有关。过去的药物使用是提供药物时使用意愿的一致预测指标，并且这种人群中使用意愿正在增加。研究结果可以为预防工作提供信息，以便更好地针对有使用风险的人群。
