Abstract

A nationwide interview study conducted in Finland in 1976 shows that 6% of the adults and 0.2% of the children were using prescribed psychotropic drugs. The proportion of users was 7% among women and 5% among men, a difference smaller than in most studies from other countries. Both women and men used most commonly antianxiety drugs, followed by hypnotics among women and antipsychotics among men. A multivariate analysis showed that the use of psychotropic drugs was significantly (P less than 0.001) related to both chronic illness and psychiatric symptomatology as well as to the number of physician visits, and--among women only--to age. At a slightly less significant level (P less than 0.01) the use was among women related to family income, region and the interaction of age and chronic morbidity, and among men to family income.

摘要

1976年在芬兰进行的一项全国性访谈研究表明，6%的成年人和0.2%的儿童正在使用处方精神药物。女性使用者的比例为7%，男性为5%，这一差异比其他国家的大多数研究中的差异要小。女性和男性最常使用的都是抗焦虑药物，其次是女性使用的催眠药和男性使用的抗精神病药。多变量分析表明，精神药物的使用与慢性病、精神症状以及就诊次数显著相关（P<0.001），而且——仅在女性中——与年龄相关。在略低的显著水平（P<0.01）上，女性的药物使用与家庭收入、地区以及年龄和慢性病发病率的相互作用有关，而男性的药物使用与家庭收入有关。
