简介和目标。影响太平洋岛屿国家和地区（PICT）年轻人药物使用的因素有很多。然而，物质使用的程度和性质的年轻人在PICTs是不清楚的，因为缺乏关于这个group.Design和Methods.A案头为基础的审查（包括白色和灰色文献）进行了探讨西太平洋地区的年轻人之间的物质使用。本文介绍了从PICTs的调查结果。结果：酒精的流行率，各种来源都报告了青年人使用大麻和苯丙胺类兴奋剂的情况，主要是根据"青年危险行为"和"第二代行为监测调查"得出的数据。与澳大利亚和新西兰相比，在某些太平洋岛屿国家和地区，然而，一般没有数据来确定任何趋势。定期、可靠和例行监测太平洋岛屿国家青年人使用药物的模式和趋势，有助于查明关切问题和制定循证干预措施，以预防、控制和处理当前和任何新出现的问题。[霍华德J，阿里H，罗宾斯L.太平洋岛屿年轻人使用酒精、大麻和苯丙胺类兴奋剂的情况。Drug Alcohol Rev 2011; 30; 104 - 110]。
Introduction and Aims.There are many factors that impact substance use in young people in the Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PICTs). However, the extent and nature of substance use by young people in the PICTs is not clear because of a lack of data on this group.Design and Methods.A desk-based review (including both white and grey literature) was conducted to explore substance use among young people in the Western Pacific region. This paper presents findings from the PICTs.Results.Prevalence of alcohol, cannabis and amphetamine-type stimulants use by young people is reported from various sources-primarily based on data derived from the Youth Risk Behaviour and the Second Generation Behaviour Surveillance Surveys.Discussion and Conclusion.There appear to be evidence of risky alcohol consumption and higher levels of cannabis and amphetamine-type stimulants use in some PICTs compared with Australia and New Zealand. However, data are generally unavailable to establish any trends. Regular, reliable and routine monitoring of patterns and trends in substance use among young people in the PICTs can assist in identifying concerns and developing evidence-informed interventions to prevent, contain and treat current and any emerging issues.
