Substance abuse is a term that refers to the harmful or hazardous use of psychoactive substances, including alcohol and illicit drugs. One of the key impacts of illicit drug use on society is the negative health consequences experienced by its members.
This study recorded the pattern of substance abuse and the sociodemographic characteristics of adult substance abusers in Makkah City.
An online self-administered survey was provided to the general population through social media platforms between March 2023 and August 2023. Males and females living in Makkah over the age of 18 were included in it. The participants who refused to take part or those who were younger than 18 were not included in the study.
The number of participants in this study was 720; 73.5% were under the age of 30 and 424 were females (58.9%). The significant variables between substance abuse and sociodemographic data were gender (P=0.001), depression (P≤0.000), anxiety (P≤0.000), stress (P=0.025), and bad/shocking experience during childhood (P=0.004).
Substance abuse positively correlates with sociodemographic data, with males having a higher risk, and psychiatric neurosis is associated with childhood trauma and anxiety.

本研究记录了麦加市成人药物滥用的模式以及药物滥用者的社会人口学特征。
2023年3月至2023年8月期间,通过社交媒体平台向普通人群提供了一项在线自我管理调查。居住在麦加的18岁以上男性和女性被纳入其中。拒绝参与或年龄小于18岁的参与者未被纳入研究。
本研究的参与者人数为720人;73.5%的人年龄在30岁以下,424人为女性(58.9%)。药物滥用与社会人口学数据之间的显著变量为性别(P = 0.001)、抑郁(P≤0.000)、焦虑(P≤0.000)、压力(P = 0.025)以及童年时期的不良/令人震惊的经历(P = 0.004)。
药物滥用与社会人口学数据呈正相关,男性风险更高,且精神神经症与童年创伤和焦虑有关。
