研究表明，在社会关系网络中的位置可以对个人的健康行为产生直接影响。本研究探讨吸毒和个人社会资本之间的联系社交网络的吸毒者（n=503）从农村阿巴拉契亚肯塔基州，美国受访者驱动的抽样招募个人年龄18岁及以上谁使用了以下药物之一，以获得高：可卡因，快克，海洛因，甲基苯丙胺，或处方阿片类药物。通过自我报告和参与者的药物使用网络的社会网络分析来测量物质使用，以计算有效规模，衡量社会资本。药物网络关系基于最近（过去6个月）药物共同使用的社会计量学数据。多元多水平有序回归模型的社会人口和药物使用特征对社会资本的独立影响。调整性别，收入和教育，发现每日使用奥施康定与更大的社会资本显著相关，每日使用大麻与更少的社会资本相关。这些结果表明，在经济差距明显的地区，如阿巴拉契亚农村地区，奥施康定®可能作为一种货币形式，与吸毒者的社会资本增加有关。侧重于增加获取社会资本的替代途径的干预措施可能是减轻这一高风险人群吸毒负担的一种方式。
Studies have shown that position within networks of social relations can have direct implications on the health behaviors of individuals. The present study examines connections between drug use and individual social capital within social networks of drug users (n=503) from rural Appalachian Kentucky, U.S.A. Respondent driven sampling was used to recruit individuals age 18 and older who had used one of the following drugs to get high: cocaine, crack, heroin, methamphetamine, or prescription opioids. Substance use was measured via self-report and social network analysis of participants’ drug use network was used to compute effective size, a measure of social capital. Drug network ties were based on sociometric data on recent (past 6 month) drug co-usage. Multivariate multi-level ordinal regression was used to model the independent effect of sociodemographic and drug use characteristics on social capital. Adjusting for gender, income, and education, daily OxyContin® use was found to be significantly associated with greater social capital, and daily marijuana use was associated with less social capital. These results suggest that in regions with marked economic disparities such as rural Appalachia, OxyContin® may serve as a form of currency that is associated with increased social capital among drug users. Interventions focusing on increasing alternate pathways to acquiring social capital may be one way in which to alleviate the burden of drug use in this high-risk population.
