Self-reported reasons for drug use were examined among a sample of detained and adjudicated juveniles at a state residential facility. By means of a series of factor analyses, three common motives or reasons for using a variety of drugs were identified: (1) an expanded awareness-insight motive, (2) a drug effect motive, and (3) an increased activity motive. No relationship was found between type of offense and drug use. The overall findings suggest that drug use may be a means of coping with stress as well as a means of altering consciousness.
在一个州立寄宿机构中，对一批被拘留和被判决的青少年样本进行了关于自我报告的吸毒原因调查。通过一系列因素分析，确定了使用多种毒品的三个常见动机或原因：（1）增强的意识洞察动机，（2）药物效果动机，（3）增加活动动机。未发现犯罪类型与吸毒之间存在关联。总体研究结果表明，吸毒可能是应对压力的一种方式，也是改变意识的一种方式。
