While a number of risk factors have been identified for drug misuse in the United States, little evidence is available about such factors in other societies. This study attempted to identify risk factors in Pakistan. Ten of 11 sociodemographic variables which had previously been identified as predictors in the United States successfully differentiated groups of addicts and controls in Pakistan. About 97% of the 60 addicts studied were at risk on four or more factors; 100% of controls were at risk on four or fewer factors. It appears that the precursors for misuse cut across cultural lines.
虽然在美国已确定了一些药物滥用的风险因素，但在其他社会中，关于此类因素的证据却很少。本研究试图确定巴基斯坦的风险因素。之前在美国被确定为预测因素的11个社会人口统计学变量中的10个成功地区分了巴基斯坦成瘾者和对照组。在研究的60名成瘾者中，约97%的人存在四个或更多因素的风险；100%的对照组存在四个或更少因素的风险。看来滥用的先兆跨越文化界限。
