OBJECTIVES
This study sought to evaluate the association of drug use with disability in a representative sample of the US household population.
METHODS
The use of illicit drugs and alcohol reported by respondents in the 1991 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse who identified themselves as "disabled, unable to work" was compared with respondents without disabilities.
RESULTS
Among younger adults (18-24 years), persons with disabilities were more likely than those without disabilities to report that they had used heroin (adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 6.89; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.35, 35.1) or crack cocaine (OR = 6.38; 95% CI = 1.05, 38.6). Among older adults (35 years and older), persons with disabilities were more likely to report the use of sedatives (OR = 2.46; 95% CI = 1.21, 4.94) or tranquilizers (OR = 2.18: 95% CI = 1.08; 4.42) not medically prescribed.
CONCLUSIONS
These results suggest that use of illicit drugs is a potentially serious problem among persons with disabilities and requires both research and clinical attention.
目的
本研究旨在评估在美国家庭人口代表性样本中药物使用与残疾之间的关联。
方法
将1991年全国药物滥用家庭调查中自认为“残疾，无法工作”的受访者报告的非法药物和酒精使用情况与无残疾的受访者进行比较。
结果
在较年轻成年人（18 - 24岁）中，残疾人士比非残疾人士更有可能报告使用过海洛因（调整后的优势比[OR]=6.89；95%置信区间[CI]=1.35，35.1）或快克可卡因（OR = 6.38；95% CI = 1.05，38.6）。在年龄较大的成年人（35岁及以上）中，残疾人士更有可能报告使用过非医学处方的镇静剂（OR = 2.46；95% CI = 1.21，4.94）或镇静安眠药（OR = 2.18：95% CI = 1.08；4.42）。
结论
这些结果表明，非法药物的使用在残疾人士中是一个潜在的严重问题，需要研究和临床关注。
