这项研究旨在量化西澳大利亚州珀斯狂欢派对现场一群参与者的吸毒模式。这项调查采访了83名最近参加过狂欢派对的人。本研究采用半结构化定性访谈和结构化定量问卷相结合的方法。本文报告了最近一次参加狂欢派对所收集到的有关吸毒模式的定量数据。在76名在最后一次狂欢中至少使用过一种药物的受访者中，有86.8%的人报告使用过舞蹈药物(摇头丸、安非他明或LSD)。其中近80%的人在这一场合也使用过至少一种其他药物(平均使用次数=2.4)。大麻和吸入剂是最常与“舞蹈毒品”结合在一起的毒品，多名受访者同时使用不止一种“舞蹈毒品”，16.7%的受访者曾饮酒。似乎很大比例的人在狂欢和舞会中使用“舞蹈药物”，将这些药物与其他物质混合在一起，尽管减少伤害的建议是相反的。讨论了在这一领域开展更多研究的必要性。
This study aimed to quantify the patterns of drug use among a group of participants in the rave scene in Perth, Western Australia. Interviews were conducted with 83 people who had recently been to a 'rave'. The study incorporated a semi-structured qualitative interview and a structured quantitative questionnaire. This paper reports on the quantitative data collected concerning patterns of drug use in association with the last rave attended. Use of 'dance drugs' (ecstasy, amphetamines or LSD) was reported by 86.8% of the 76 respondents who had used at least one drug in association with their last rave. Nearly 80% of these had also used at least one other drug on this occasion (mean number used = 2.4). Cannabis and inhalants were the drugs most commonly combined with the 'dance drugs', several respondents used more than one 'dance drug' concurrently and 16.7% had used alcohol. It seems that a significant proportion of those using 'dance drugs' in association with raves and dance parties are mixing these drugs with other substances despite harm reduction advice to the contrary. The need for more research in this area is discussed.
