目的：本研究旨在探讨青少年药物使用模式与其身体和/或性虐待史之间的关系。方法：于1995年对122,824名公立学校6、9、12年级学生进行明尼苏达州学生调查。物质使用者组是根据使用频率和使用物质的数量来划分的。使用单个物质、使用多种物质、首次使用年龄和使用原因均与身体和/或性虐待的历史有关。结果：在调查的三个年级中，无论男女，身体虐待和性虐待都与使用酒精、大麻和几乎所有其他药物的可能性增加有关。滥用多种物质的比例在受虐待的学生中非常高，其中报告身体虐待和性虐待的学生比例最高。与未受虐待的同龄人相比，受虐待的人更早开始使用药物，并给出了更多使用药物的理由，包括为了应对痛苦的情绪和逃避问题。结论：由于他们的脆弱性增加，身体和性虐待的年轻受害者需要改进与药物使用相关的预防、早期干预和治疗服务。(C) 1997爱思唯尔科学有限公司。
Objective: This study was conducted to examine the relationship between substance use patterns among adolescents and their histories of physical and/or sexual abuse.Method: The Minnesota Student Survey was administered in 1995 to 122,824 public school students in Grades 6, 9, and 12. Substance user groups were created based on frequency of use and the number of substances used. Use of individual substances, use of multiple substances, age of first use, and reasons for use were examined with respect to histories of physical and/or sexual abuse.Results: physical and sexual abuse were associated with an increased likelihood of the use of alcohol, marijuana, and almost all other drugs for both males and females in the three grades surveyed. Use of multiple substances was highly elevated among victims of abuse, with the highest rates seen among students who reported both physical and sexual abuse. Abuse victims also reported initiating substance use earlier than their nonabused peers and gave more reasons for using, including use to cope with painful emotions and to escape from problems.Conclusion: Because of their increased vulnerability, young victims of physical and sexual abuse need improved prevention, early intervention, and treatment services related to substance use.
