确定了以家庭为基础的年轻男同性恋和双性恋男性样本（n = 428）中使用重物质的相关性，并计算了比值比（OR）。共有13.6%的人报告频繁使用大量酒精，43%的人报告使用多种药物。与从事专业职业的男性相比，服务职位（OR = 3.77）和销售职位（OR = 2.51）的男性更有可能是重度酒精消费者。频繁的同性恋酒吧出席和多个性伴侣与大量饮酒以及多种药物的使用有关。多种药物使用者更可能是艾滋病毒血清阳性（OR = 2.05）或未知的艾滋病毒血清状态（OR = 2.78）。艾滋病毒血清状况与频繁使用毒品也有类似关系。年轻男同性恋者和双性恋者中较重物质使用的这些相关性可用于识别和早期干预这一人群中有物质滥用风险以及艾滋病毒/艾滋病风险的成员。(C)2001爱思唯尔科学爱尔兰有限公司保留所有权利。
Correlates of heavy substance use among a household-based sample of young gay and bisexual men (n = 428) were identified and the odds ratio (OR) was calculated. A total of 13.6% reported frequent, heavy alcohol use and 43% reported polydrug use. Compared with men employed in professional occupations, men in service positions (OR = 3.77) and sales positions (OR = 2.51) were more likely to be heavy alcohol consumers. Frequent gay bar attendance and multiple sex partners were related to heavy alcohol use, as well as to polydrug use. Polydrug users were more likely to be HIV seropositive (OR = 2.05) or of unknown HIV serostatus (OR = 2.78). HIV serostatus was similarly related to frequent drug use. These correlates of heavier substance use among young gay and bisexual men could be used to identify and intervene early with members of this population who are at risk of substance misuse, as well as HIV/AIDS risk.
