背景:饮酒者以外的人经历的酒精危害最近受到越来越多的关注,但尚未将其与其他人吸毒造成的危害进行比较。本研究的目的是将报告的由他人饮酒造成的危害与由毒品引起的危害进行比较,区分不同类型的危害,以强调报告的危害如何受到使用该物质的看法和社会地位的影响。方法:来自澳大利亚维多利亚州的 16-24 岁受访者完成了维多利亚州青少年酒精和药物调查(n = 5001),包括有关人口统计、药物和酒精消费以及他们所经历的伤害类型的问题可归因于毒品和酒精,以及他们在使用毒品或酒精后造成的伤害。结果:对于与毒品和酒精相关的伤害,使用多重对应分析将伤害报告分为两组:有形伤害(例如攻击)和舒适度影响(例如被醉酒的人惹恼)。那些报告吸毒的人更有可能经历因酒精造成的舒适度影响,反之亦然,而同时使用毒品和酒精的人则更有可能报告有形影响。结论:其他人关于舒适度影响的报告似乎更多地受到有关药物看法的影响,而不是攻击等有形影响。特别是对于舒适度的影响而言,与酒精相比,吸毒带来的更大耻辱可能会让受访者更有可能认为自己受到毒品的伤害,这一点在评估酒精或毒品的危害时需要考虑在内。 (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. 保留所有权利。
Background: Harms from alcohol experienced by someone other than the drinker have received increasing attention of late, but have not been compared to harms from others' drug use. The aim of the current study is to compare the reported harms that are attributable to the alcohol use of others to those attributable to drugs, distinguishing between different types of harm in order to highlight how reported harms may be influenced by perception and social standing of use of the substance.Method: Respondents aged 16-24 from Victoria, Australia, completed the Victorian Youth Alcohol and Drug Survey (n = 5001), including questions on demographics, drug and alcohol consumption, on the types of harms they experienced attributable to drugs and alcohol, as well as harms they perpetrated after using drugs or alcohol.Results: For both drug and alcohol related harms, reports of harms loaded into two groups using multiple correspondence analysis: tangible harms such as assault, and amenity impacts such as being annoyed by people under the influence. Amenity impacts attributed to alcohol were more likely to be experienced by those who reported drug use and vice versa, while the tangible impacts were more likely to be reported by those who used both drugs and alcohol.Conclusions: Reports of amenity impacts from others appear to be influenced by the perception of the drug in question more than tangible impacts such as assault. Particularly for amenity impacts, the greater stigma attached to drug use may make respondents more likely to consider themselves harmed by drugs than they would when compared to alcohol, something that needs to be taken into account when assessing harms by either alcohol or drugs.
