这项研究表明，在自然灾害后报告的创伤后应激反应较高的青年中，较高的药物使用和自我药疗之间存在重要联系。这项研究提供了二次分析的横截面数据收集170主要是非洲裔美国男性通过第五病房富集计划（FWEP）在休斯敦，得克萨斯州，2009年11月至12月。那些声称在过去的一周里他们试图避免思考或谈论飓风或提醒他们发生的事情的男性更有可能使用酒精（p <0.05），大麻（p <0.01），可待因咳嗽糖浆（p <0.00），抗能量饮料（p <0.00），甲基苯丙胺晶体（p <0.00）和伟哥（p <0.00）。未经调整的逻辑回归显示，他们在过去30天内报告饮酒的几率也增加了一倍以上。（OR = 2.57，95% CI = 0.98，6.8），大麻可待因止咳糖浆（OR = 5.22，95% CI = 1.4，19.5）和抗能量饮料（OR = 3.27，95% CI = 1.0，1.4）。调整后的Logistic回归分析显示，男性青年创伤后应激反应是大麻使用的显著预测因子（OR = 4.1，95%CI = 1.0，16.5）。这项研究表明，在自然灾害发生后，据报告创伤后应激反应较高的青年中，较高的吸毒率和自我药疗率之间存在重要联系。
This study shows the important link between higher drug use and self-medication among youth with higher reported posttraumatic stress reactions after natural disasters. The study offers secondary analysis of cross-sectional data collected on 170 predominately African American males through the Fifth Ward Enrichment program (FWEP) in Houston, Texas, between November and December 2009. Men who stated that in the last week they tried to keep from thinking or talking about the hurricane or things that remind them of what happen were significantly more likely to use alcohol (p < .05), marijuana (p < .01), codeine cough syrup (p < .00), anti-energy drinks (p < .00), crystal methamphetamines (p < .00), and Viagra (p < .00). Unadjusted logistic regression showed that they also experienced over twice the odds of reporting past 30 day use of alcohol (OR = 2.57, 95% CI = .98, 6.8), marijuana (OR = 4.31, 95% CI = 1.2, 15.3), codeine cough syrup (OR = 5.22, 95% CI = 1.4, 19.5), and anti-energy drinks (OR = 3.27, 95% CI = 1.0, 1.4). Adjusted logistic regression revealed that male youth post-traumatic stress reaction is a significant predictor of marijuana use (OR = 4.1, 95% CI = 1.0, 16.5). This study shows the important link of higher drug use and self-medication among youth with higher reported posttraumatic stress reactions after natural disasters.
