The literature on solvent abuse is reviewed. Methods of use, symptoms of use, and effects of long-term solvent abuse are discussed. Several surveys on solvent use are summarized. The highest prevalence of solvent abuse seems to occur in native peoples undergoing periods of cultural change. Environmental conditions which are postulated as leading to psychological vulnerability and solvent abuse include: low social assets, parental drug use, peer and sibling influence, and acculturative stress. Solvent abuse seems to provide a pharmacological way out of a stressful environment for people who feel helpless to improve their situation in other ways. Methods of intervention that have been proposed for dealing with solvent abuse are discussed. Methods of intervention thus far employed generally have not been evaluated in any systematic fashion. Suggestions for future research are provided.
本文综述了关于溶剂滥用的文献。讨论了使用方法、使用症状以及长期溶剂滥用的影响。总结了几项关于溶剂使用的调查。溶剂滥用的最高患病率似乎发生在经历文化变迁时期的原住民中。被认为导致心理脆弱性和溶剂滥用的环境条件包括：社会资产少、父母吸毒、同龄人和兄弟姐妹的影响以及文化适应压力。对于那些觉得无法以其他方式改善自身处境的人来说，溶剂滥用似乎提供了一种摆脱压力环境的药理学途径。讨论了为应对溶剂滥用而提出的干预方法。迄今为止采用的干预方法一般尚未以任何系统的方式进行评估。提供了对未来研究的建议。
