This study reports the demographic and social characteristics and level of psychological dysfunction in regular khat users compared with matched non-users. The results indicate that khat users resemble non-users on a number of psychosocial variables and GHQ scores, with no evidence to suggest higher morbidity amongst users. The two groups appear to differ only in the level of their use of nicotine and also in their perception of the harmful effects associated with khat use.
本研究报告了经常咀嚼巧茶者与匹配的非咀嚼者相比的人口统计学和社会特征以及心理功能障碍水平。结果表明，在一些心理社会变量和一般健康问卷（GHQ）得分方面，咀嚼巧茶者与非咀嚼者相似，没有证据表明使用者的发病率更高。两组似乎仅在尼古丁使用水平以及对与咀嚼巧茶相关的有害影响的认知方面存在差异。
