Five hundred cocaine users who called the 800-COCAINE helpline received an extensive telephone interview to assess the nature, extent and consequences of their self-reported cocaine use. The data revealed a high incidence of dysfunctional cocaine use associated with numerous physical, psychological, and social problems. The typical caller was a white, middle-income male between 25 and 40 years old with no history of drug dependency or serious psychiatric problems. The findings are discussed with regard to the high abuse potential of cocaine and other factors that lead to problematic use and adverse effects.
拨打800-COCAINE帮助热线的500名可卡因使用者接受了一次广泛的电话访谈，以评估他们自我报告的可卡因使用情况的性质、程度和后果。数据显示，功能失调性可卡因使用的发生率很高，且与众多身体、心理和社会问题相关。典型的来电者是一名25至40岁的白人、中等收入男性，没有药物依赖史或严重精神疾病史。针对可卡因的高滥用潜力以及导致问题使用和不良影响的其他因素对研究结果进行了讨论。
