本研究考察了成人戒毒过程中的社会控制过程。社会控制理论认为，吸毒和吸毒在一个人的社会网络之间的联系是由于一个人在寻找相似的同伴。数据包括629名报告过去一年海洛因或可卡因使用基线的个体，并在马里兰州巴尔的摩的一项社区研究中有随访数据。负二项回归模型表明，戒烟者在社交网络中吸毒的减少明显大于未戒烟者。与基线时未戒烟者相比，基线时戒烟者吸毒网络成员人数的发生率比（IRR）为0.86，随访时未戒烟者为0.71，随访时戒烟者为0.28（均p < 0.05）。这些发现支持了成人戒毒的社会控制理论。未来的研究应延长随访时间并评估双向影响。2008爱思唯尔爱尔兰有限公司版权所有。
The present study examined social control processes in drug cessation among adults. Social control theory posits that the association between drug use and the drug use of a person's social network results from an individual seeking out similar peers. The data included 629 individuals who reported past-year heroin or cocaine use at baseline and had follow-up data in a community study in Baltimore, MD. Negative binomial regression modeling indicated that the reduction in social network drug use was significantly greater for quitters than those who did not quit. Compared to non-quitters at baseline, the incidence rate ratio (IRR) of the number of drug-using network members was 0.86 for quitters at baseline, 0.71 for non-quitters at follow-up, and 0.28 for quitters at follow-up (all p < 0.05). These findings support social control theory in adult drug use cessation. Future research should extend the length of follow-up and assess bidirectional influences. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
