尽管流行病学报告表明患有社交焦虑症（SAD）的人患大麻使用障碍（CUD）的风险较高，但仍缺乏调查这种同时发生的本质机制的研究。本研究在非参考样本 (N = 123) 中检验了大麻使用的既定风险因素（同伴影响）对 SAD 和 CUD 症状之间关系的作用。使用结构化诊断访谈评估 SAD 和 CUD 的终生症状。 SAD 症状与 CUD 症状显着相关，并且这种关系因同伴使用酒精和大麻而减弱。此外，性别效应表明 SAD 和 CUD 症状之间的关系仅发生在女性中。讨论了这些新发现的意义。 (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Despite epidemiological reports indicating that individuals with social anxiety disorder (SAD) are at heightened risk for cannabis use disorders (CUD), there is a dearth of research investigating the mechanisms underlying the nature of this co-occurrence. The present study examined the role of a well-established risk factor for cannabis use, peer influence, on the relationship between symptoms of SAD and CUD in a non-referred sample (N = 123). Lifetime symptoms of SAD and CUD were assessed using a structured diagnostic interview. SAD symptoms were significantly correlated with CUD symptoms and this relationship was moderated by peer use of both alcohol and cannabis. Further, a gender effect indicated that the relationship between symptoms of SAD and CUD occurred only in women. Implications of these novel findings are discussed. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.
