The purpose of the current study was to estimate prevalence of pornography use and addiction in Rhode Island young adults, identify sociodemographic disparities, and determine if use and addiction were associated with mental illness.
Data from n=1022 participants of the Rhode Island Young Adult Survey were used. Pornography use and addiction, depression, anxiety, and suicide ideation were assessed. Multivariable logistic regressions controlled for age, social status, sex, gender, sexual orientation, and race/ethnicity.
54% indicated pornography use; 6.2% met the criteria for addiction. Odds of pornography use were 5 times higher (95%CI=3.18,7.71), and addiction 13.4 times higher (95%CI=5.71,31.4) among heterosexual cis-males. Pornography addiction was associated with increased odds of depression (OR=1.92, 95%CI=1.04,3.49) and suicide ideation (OR=2.34, 95%CI=1.24,4.43).
Pornography use is highly prevalent, and addiction may be associated with mental illness. New screenings, media literacy training, and developing new therapeutic interventions should be considered.
本研究旨在估计罗德岛州青年成年人中色情制品使用和成瘾的流行率，确定社会人口统计学差异，并确定使用和成瘾是否与精神疾病有关。
使用了罗德岛青年调查中 n=1022 名参与者的数据。评估了色情制品的使用和成瘾、抑郁、焦虑和自杀意念。多变量逻辑回归控制了年龄、社会地位、性别、性别认同、性取向和种族/民族。
54%的人表示使用过色情制品；6.2%符合成瘾标准。异性恋顺性别男性使用色情制品的可能性高出 5 倍（95%CI=3.18,7.71），成瘾的可能性高出 13.4 倍（95%CI=5.71,31.4）。色情制品成瘾与抑郁（OR=1.92，95%CI=1.04,3.49）和自杀意念（OR=2.34，95%CI=1.24,4.43）的几率增加有关。
色情制品的使用非常普遍，成瘾可能与精神疾病有关。应考虑新的筛查、媒体素养培训和开发新的治疗干预措施。
