本研究的目的是调查青少年分类之家青少年使用甲基苯丙胺的患病率和风险因素。本研究的对象是1362名（男1172名，女190名）被收进名古屋青少年分类之家的青少年。根据甲基苯丙胺使用史，参与者被分为两组，甲基苯丙胺使用者组和对照组。甲基苯丙胺使用的存在进行了分析的性别，年龄，入院人数，暴力（犯罪类型），精神病治疗史，家族史（犯罪，药物滥用和/或酒精相关的障碍），并被父母或负责抚养他们的人虐待的经历。甲基苯丙胺使用率为6.8%（93/1362）。多因素Logistic回归分析表明，性别（女性;比值比[OR]：8.1; 95%置信区间[CI]：4.6-14.3），年龄（OR：1.8，95%CI：1.5-2.1），入院人数（> 2，OR：2.9，95%CI：1.8-4.8），暴力（OR：0.4，95%CI：0.2-0.7），精神病治疗史（OR：8.7，95%CI：4.0-19.0）和药物滥用家族史（OR：4.0，95%CI：1.6-9.6）均与甲基苯丙胺使用显著相关。大约7%的参与者使用甲基苯丙胺。女性是一个危险因素。较高的年龄和多次入院表明犯罪的持续性和重复性。甲基苯丙胺使用者的暴力行为比对照组要少。心理社会环境（药物滥用家族史）和精神问题（精神病治疗史）也与甲基苯丙胺的使用有关。
The objective of the present study was to investigate the prevalence and risk factors of methamphetamine use in adolescents at a juvenile classification home. The present subjects were 1362 adolescents (1172 male and 190 female) who had been admitted to the Nagoya Juvenile Classification Home. The participants were divided into two groups, a methamphetamine user group and a control group, based on history of methamphetamine use. The presence of methamphetamine use was analyzed in terms of gender, age, number of admissions, violence (types of crime), history of psychiatric treatment, family history (crime, drug misuse and/or alcohol-related disorder), and experience of being abused by their parents or by the persons who were responsible for raising them. The prevalence of methamphetamine use was 6.8% (93/1362). Multivariate logistic regression analyses indicated that gender (female; odds ratio [OR]: 8.1; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 4.6-14.3), age (OR: 1.8, 95%CI: 1.5-2.1), number of admissions (> 2, OR: 2.9, 95%CI: 1.8-4.8), violence (OR: 0.4, 95%CI: 0.2-0.7), history of psychiatric treatment (OR: 8.7, 95%CI: 4.0-19.0), and family history of drug misuse (OR: 4.0, 95%CI: 1.6-9.6) were all significantly associated with methamphetamine use. Approximately 7% of participants used methamphetamine. Female gender was a risk factor. Higher age and multiple admissions suggest the persistency and repetition of delinquency. Methamphetamine users were less violent than control subjects. Psychosocial environment (family history of drug misuse) and psychiatric problems (history of psychiatric treatment) were also related to methamphetamine use.
