我们研究了一个大型中西部大学的随机样本（N = 3606）的本科生，并探讨了摇头丸使用的相关性，以及如何使用不同的性别，种族和性别认同。大约10%的样本在其一生中使用过摇头丸; 7%在过去一年内使用过，3%在过去一个月内使用过。摇头丸是第二大最有可能被使用的非法药物，大麻是第一大。多变量logistic回归分析表明，虽然男性和女性使用摇头丸的可能性相同，但过度聚会、性别认同和平均成绩与摇头丸使用密切相关。在调整了几个因素后，性伴侣的数量增加了摇头丸使用的可能性，自我报告的性身份也是如此;男同性恋，女同性恋和双性恋学生在过去一年中使用摇头丸的可能性是两倍多。摇头丸的使用和其他物质的使用，如酗酒，大麻的使用和吸烟之间存在显着的关系。干预措施的影响进行了讨论。(C)2003年爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
We examined a random sample (N = 3606) of undergraduates at one large midwestern university and explored correlates of ecstasy use and how use varied by gender, race, and sexual identity. Approximately 10% of the sample used ecstasy in their lifetime; 7% had used within the past year and 3% within the past month. Ecstasy was the second most likely illicit drug to be used, marijuana being the first. Multivariate logistic regression indicated that while men and women were equally likely to have used ecstasy, excessive partying, sexual identity, and grade point average were strongly correlated with ecstasy use. After adjusting for several factors, the number of sexual partners increased the likelihood of ecstasy use, as did self-reported sexual identity; gay, lesbian, and bisexual students were more than two times as likely to have used ecstasy in the past year. Significant relationships existed between ecstasy use and other substance use such as binge drinking, marijuana use, and cigarette smoking. Implications for interventions are discussed.
