新闻文章、评论和观点文章表明，COVID-19期间持续的社交距离措施加上经济挑战可能会加剧地球仪的压力、情感状态和物质使用。我们试图增进我们对在公共卫生危机期间改变其物质使用模式的个人与不改变的个人之间差异的理解。对年轻人（18-25岁）进行横断面调查，评估受访者的特征和vaping，烟草，酒精和/或大麻的使用。我们计算了患病率估计值、患病率变化和患病率比以及相关的95%置信区间，并用卡方检验寻找差异。在总样本中，53.2%（n = 542/1018）的年轻人报告吸烟或使用烟草，酒精和/或大麻。在报告使用情况的542个答复者中，34.3%报告其使用模式发生了变化。在报告大流行期间物质使用模式发生变化的受访者中（n = 186），68.8%的人报告酒精使用增加，44.0%的人报告电子烟产品使用减少，47.3%的人报告烟草产品使用减少。随着孤独程度的增加，被调查者的物质使用发生了显着变化（持续孤独评分：患病率= 1.12，95%可信区间= 1.01-1.25），焦虑（患病率= 1.45，95%可信区间= 1.14-1.85）和抑郁症（患病率= 1.44，95%可信区间= 1.13-1.82）。据观察，年轻人自我报告的药物使用情况在大流行期间发生了变化，而孤独程度似乎会影响这些变化。在影响社会接触的全球健康危机期间，需要采取创新战略来解决孤独、焦虑、抑郁和物质使用问题。
News articles, commentaries, and opinion articles have suggested that ongoing social distancing measures coupled with economic challenges during COVID-19 may worsen stress, affective state, and substance use across the globe. We sought to advance our understanding of the differences between individuals who change their substance use patterns during a public health crisis and those who do not. Cross-sectional survey of young adults (18–25 years of age) assessing respondent characteristics and vaping, tobacco, alcohol, and/or marijuana use. We calculated prevalence estimates, prevalence changes, and prevalence ratios with associated 95% confidence intervals and looked for differences with the chi-square test. Of the total sample, 53.2% (n = 542/1018) young adults reported vaping or using tobacco, alcohol, and/or marijuana. Among the 542 respondents reporting use, 34.3% reported a change in their use patterns. Among respondents reporting changes in substance use patterns during the pandemic (n = 186), 68.8% reported an increase in alcohol use, 44.0% reported a decrease in vaping product use, and 47.3% reported a decrease in tobacco product use due to COVID-19. Substance use changed significantly for respondents with increasing degree of loneliness (continuous loneliness score: prevalence ratio = 1.12, 95% confidence interval = 1.01–1.25), anxiety (prevalence ratio = 1.45, 95% confidence interval = 1.14–1.85), and depression (prevalence ratio = 1.44, 95% confidence interval = 1.13–1.82). Self-reported substance use among young adults was observed to change during a pandemic, and the degree of loneliness appears to impact these changes. Innovative strategies are needed to address loneliness, anxiety, depression, and substance use during global health crises that impact social contact.
