Interrelationships in the use of nonmedical drug use and tobacco use are explored based on self-reports by 165 medical students at an average-sized southeastern medical school. Lifetime and current use of drugs among these students appears consistent with earlier studies. Several background and demographic characteristics are correlated with drug use; higher rates of use are found among males, older students, and students who frequently miss classes. No correlation is observed between drug use and class standing, sibling position, social relationships, or family drug use patterns. Tobacco use was found to be low among these medical students but was highly correlated with nonmedical drug use. Drug use patterns appear to have developed in high school and college, and to persist, albeit at a diminished rate, during medical school. The findings provide little support for the belief that marijuana or cocaine use substitutes for alcohol use; higher consumption of virtually any recreational drug is predictive of higher use of other recreational drugs.
基于一所规模中等的东南部医学院165名医学生的自我报告，探讨了非医疗药物使用与烟草使用之间的相互关系。这些学生的终身和当前药物使用情况与早期研究一致。几个背景和人口统计学特征与药物使用相关；在男性、年龄较大的学生以及经常缺课的学生中，药物使用率较高。未观察到药物使用与班级排名、兄弟姐妹顺序、社会关系或家庭药物使用模式之间存在关联。这些医学生中烟草使用率较低，但与非医疗药物使用高度相关。药物使用模式似乎在高中和大学就已形成，并在医学院期间持续存在，尽管发生率有所下降。这些发现几乎没有支持这样一种观点，即使用大麻或可卡因可以替代饮酒；几乎任何一种娱乐性药物的高消费量都预示着其他娱乐性药物的高使用率。
