The relationship between benzodiazepine and regular amphetamine use was examined in a sample of 301 regular amphetamine users. Benzodiazepine use was widespread, with 37% of subjects having used them in the month preceding interview, and 55% in the preceding 6 months. Injectors of amphetamines were more likely to have ever used, and to be currently using, benzodiazepines. Comparisons of benzodiazepine users with other subjects indicated that benzodiazepine users had higher levels of polydrug use and psychopathology, as well as poorer health and social functioning than non-users. The odds of benzodiazepine using injectors having injected with a borrowed used needle in the preceding month were 3.8 times of those of non-benzodiazepine-using injectors. These results are consistent with studies of other groups of illicit drug users, such as heroin users, in indicating that benzodiazepine use is associated with greater levels of risk and psycho-social dysfunction.
在301名经常使用苯丙胺的样本中，研究了苯二氮䓬与经常使用苯丙胺之间的关系。苯二氮䓬的使用很普遍，37%的受试者在访谈前一个月使用过，55%在之前6个月使用过。注射苯丙胺的人更有可能曾经使用过且目前正在使用苯二氮䓬。将苯二氮䓬使用者与其他受试者进行比较表明，苯二氮䓬使用者的多药使用和精神病理学水平更高，健康和社会功能也比非使用者更差。在之前一个月，使用苯二氮䓬的注射者使用借来的用过的针头注射的几率是非苯二氮䓬使用者的3.8倍。这些结果与对其他非法药物使用者群体（如海洛因使用者）的研究一致，表明使用苯二氮䓬与更高水平的风险和心理社会功能障碍有关。
