This study aimed at investigating the relationship between the use of unprescribed licit and illicit drugs and problematic drinking with reported depressive symptoms and suicidal behaviour in a nationwide general population sample of 4291 respondents aged 12 to 64. Depressive symptoms were detected by the use of the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). A higher proportion of respondents who have reported illicit drug use in their lifetime were found to be depressed with a > 16 score in the CES-D in all age groups and both sexes, than of the other categories of substance use. A multiple range test revealed 3 groups of substance users. The more frequent illicit drug users together with the problematic drinkers exhibited the higher average depressive symptoms scores. The 12-month prevalence of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts was found to be in accordance with the severity and frequency of substance consumption.
本研究旨在调查在一个包含4291名年龄在12至64岁的全国普通人群样本中，使用非处方合法及非法药物和存在问题饮酒与报告的抑郁症状及自杀行为之间的关系。抑郁症状通过使用流行病学研究中心抑郁量表（CES-D）进行检测。在所有年龄组和两性中，报告有过终生非法药物使用经历的受访者中，CES-D得分大于16分的抑郁者比例高于其他药物使用类别。多重极差检验显示存在3类药物使用者。非法药物使用更频繁者与存在问题饮酒者表现出更高的平均抑郁症状得分。自杀意念和自杀未遂的12个月患病率与药物消费的严重程度和频率一致。
