The use of minor tranquilizers (hypnotics and anxiolytics) during the last month before a questionnaire was answered was studied in a postal survey of a nation-wide representative sample of Norwegian physicians (n = 1467), aged 25 to 69 years. The response rate was 73%. A total of 12.2% of the physicians had used minor tranquilizers in the past month, one third of these on a daily or weekly basis. There was no gender difference. High age, high mental distress, and working outside the hospital was identified as risk factors for drug use. Compared to a representative sample of subjects from the general population with the same age and education level, (The Nord-Trøndelag Health Survey), more male physicians than males in the comparison sample had used minor tranquilizers in the past month, also when controlled for subjective well-being. However, the physicians had used the drugs more sporadic. When self-prescription of minor tranquilizers was studied in a different sample of 1024 Norwegian physicians, it was found that 72.6% of the physicians had self-prescribed the drugs. There was no gender difference in self-prescribing.
在一项针对挪威全国具有代表性的25至69岁医生样本（n = 1467）的邮寄调查中，研究了在回答问卷前最后一个月使用轻度镇静剂（催眠药和抗焦虑药）的情况。回复率为73%。共有12.2%的医生在过去一个月使用过轻度镇静剂，其中三分之一是每天或每周使用。不存在性别差异。高龄、高度精神困扰以及在医院外工作被确定为用药的风险因素。与来自同年龄和教育水平的普通人群代表性样本（北特伦德拉格健康调查）相比，在过去一个月中，使用轻度镇静剂的男性医生比对照样本中的男性更多，即使在控制了主观幸福感的情况下也是如此。然而，医生使用这些药物更为零散。在对1024名挪威医生的另一个样本中研究轻度镇静剂的自我开处方情况时，发现72.6%的医生曾自我开处方使用这些药物。自我开处方不存在性别差异。
