Youth with parents who use opioids are more likely to engage in early substance use, especially cannabis use. The purpose of this study was to describe the context of cannabis use among families affected by parental opioid misuse. We conducted 25 in-depth interviews with families affected by parental opioid misuse. Participants were parents with a history of opioid misuse and young adults (ages 18-24) who had parents with a history of opioid misuse. Interviews were digitally recorded and professionally transcribed. Data were analyzed inductively using a qualitative content analytic approach. Familial cannabis use was common among young people and their parents. Participants described familial cannabis use as a bonding activity that felt safe and lightened the mood. Additional research is needed to understand the complex role that cannabis use may play in families affected by opioid misuse. Strategies for intergenerational substance use prevention are discussed.
父母使用阿片类药物的青少年更有可能过早使用毒品,尤其是大麻。本研究的目的是描述受父母阿片类药物滥用影响的家庭中使用大麻的情况。我们对受父母阿片类药物滥用影响的家庭进行了25次深入访谈。参与者是有阿片类药物滥用史的父母以及父母有阿片类药物滥用史的年轻人(18至24岁)。访谈进行了数字录音并由专业人员转录。使用定性内容分析方法对数据进行归纳分析。家庭中使用大麻在年轻人及其父母中很常见。参与者将家庭中使用大麻描述为一种能带来安全感并改善情绪的增进感情的活动。需要更多研究来了解使用大麻在受阿片类药物滥用影响的家庭中可能发挥的复杂作用。讨论了预防代际药物使用的策略。
