背景：大麻是目前大学校园中最常用的药物。大学生中大麻的使用正在增加，许多学生开始在大学期间使用大麻。本研究的目的是调查预测终身使用大麻在大学入学和启动在大一year.Methods：我们使用的响应从前两个学期的纵向研究3146名学生从11所大学在北卡罗来纳州和弗吉尼亚州。随机效应Logistic回归模型构建，以确定预测终身大麻使用在大学入学和启动在大一year.Results：近30%的学生报告曾经使用过大麻在大学入学的因素。在大学之前从未使用过大麻的学生中，8.5%的人在大一开始使用大麻。在多变量逻辑回归模型中，每月至少花费100美元;很少或从不去教堂;目前使用香烟，酒精和水烟;终身使用其他非法药物;以及更高的感觉寻求倾向与大学入学时至少使用过一次大麻的可能性较高相关。西班牙裔的种族，生活在校园里，目前使用的香烟和酒精与更高的可能性开始使用大麻在大一year.Conclusion：这些结果有针对性的药物滥用预防计划在大学校园的影响。(C)2013爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Background: Marijuana is currently the most commonly used drug on college campuses. Marijuana use among college students is increasing, and many students begin using marijuana during college. The goal of this study was to investigate predictors of lifetime marijuana use at college entry and initiation during freshman year.Methods: We used responses from the first two semesters of a longitudinal study of 3146 students from 11 colleges in North Carolina and Virginia. Random-effects logistic regression models were constructed to identify factors that predict lifetime marijuana use at college entry and initiation during freshman year.Results: Nearly 30% of students reported ever having used marijuana at college entry. Among students who had never used marijuana prior to college, 8.5% initiated use during freshman year. In multivariable logistic regression models, having at least $100 per month in spending money; attending church rarely or never; current use of cigarettes, alcohol, and hookah tobacco; lifetime use of other illicit drugs; and a higher propensity toward sensation seeking were associated with a higher likelihood of having used marijuana at least once at college entry. Hispanic ethnicity, living on campus, and current use of cigarettes and alcohol were associated with a higher likelihood of initiating marijuana use during freshman year.Conclusion: These results have implications for targeting substance abuse prevention programs on college campuses.
