本研究的目的是确定普通人群中同时使用酒精和可卡因的流行率，并检查重要的社会人口亚群之间这些比率的差异。结果表明，相当大比例的美国人同时从事这两种药物使用模式。在面谈前一个月，同时使用这两种物质(即同时或同时使用)的人口估计约为400万人，考虑到过去一年的时间框架，这一数字上升到约900万人。同时使用酒精和可卡因(即在同一时期同时使用这两种物质)的相应数字在过去一个月约为500万，在过去一年约为1200万。每种物质使用实践的程度随着社会人口因素的不同而不同。从需要制定针对年龄、性别和族裔的预防战略的角度，讨论了这些调查结果的影响。强调了未来分析性流行病学研究的必要性，以确定同时使用和同时使用的剂量、频率和持续时间与每种不良后果之间的精确关系。还强调了在普通人群中进行纵向研究的必要性。
The purpose of the present study was to determine the prevalence of the concurrent and simultaneous use of alcohol and cocaine in the general population and to examine differences in these rates between important sociodemographic subgroups. The results indicated that a sizable proportion of Americans were engaged in both substance use patterns. The population estimate for simultaneous use of both substances (i.e., simultaneously or on the same occasion) was approximately 4 million for the month preceding the interview, rising to approximately 9 million when the past year timeframe was considered. Corresponding figures for the concurrent use of alcohol and cocaine (i.e., use of both substances during the same time period) were approximately 5 million during the past month and 12 million during the past year. The extent of each substance use practice varied as a function of sociodemographic factors. Implications of these findings are discussed in terms of the need for age-sex-ethnic-specific prevention strategies. The need for future analytic epidemiologic research to determine the precise relationship between dose, frequency and duration of concurrent and simultaneous use and each adverse consequence is emphasized. The need for longitudinal research in the general population is also highlighted.
