Substance use disorder is a serious public health problem. It is essential to know who is prone to substance use in order to adopt appropriate measures.
This study aims to determine the use prevalence ratios of substance use (tobacco, alcohol, cannabis, cocaine, synthetic cannabinoids, ecstasy, and others) in a large-scale sample of a general population. It also intends to examine related sociodemographic factors.
This study is based on a cross-sectional survey conducted with a nationally representative sample of 24,494 individuals in face-to-face interviews conducted by a trained team of 125 clinical psychologists.
Lifetime prevalence of single substance use and polysubstance use are 4.5 and 2.6%, respectively (nicotine and alcohol excluded). Age, gender, education level, and marital status are important sociodemographic determinants for other substance use. Similarly, smoking and alcohol consumption are important determinants for other substance use. The multinomial regression analysis results showed that compared with adults aged 39 years and older, early-emerging adults (aged 18-23 years), late-emerging adults (aged 24-29 years), and young adults (aged 30-39 years) are more likely to turn to single substance use and polysubstance use.
Tobacco, alcohol, and other substance use are serious health concerns in Turkey. Sociodemographic status is an important determinant of several aspects of tobacco, alcohol, and other substance use and, therefore, should be examined thoroughly to be able to develop effective protective and preventive strategies.
物质使用障碍是一个严重的公共卫生问题。了解哪些人容易出现物质使用问题对于采取适当措施至关重要。
本研究旨在确定在一个大规模的一般人群样本中，物质使用（烟草、酒精、大麻、可卡因、合成大麻素、摇头丸和其他物质）的使用流行率，并探讨相关的社会人口学因素。
本研究基于一项横断面调查，对一个由 125 名经过培训的临床心理学家组成的团队进行的面对面访谈的 24494 名个体进行了全国代表性抽样。
终生单一物质使用和多物质使用的流行率分别为 4.5%和 2.6%（不包括尼古丁和酒精）。年龄、性别、教育水平和婚姻状况是其他物质使用的重要社会人口学决定因素。同样，吸烟和饮酒也是其他物质使用的重要决定因素。多项回归分析结果表明，与 39 岁及以上的成年人相比，早期成年（18-23 岁）、晚期成年（24-29 岁）和年轻成年人（30-39 岁）更倾向于单一物质使用和多物质使用。
烟草、酒精和其他物质使用是土耳其严重的健康问题。社会人口学地位是烟草、酒精和其他物质使用的几个方面的重要决定因素，因此应进行彻底检查，以便能够制定有效的保护和预防策略。
