1994年对津巴布韦四个省的3061名中学生进行了调查。本文探讨了文化和社会因素与鼻吸剂和大麻使用之间的关系。受访者是通过两阶段抽样设计选出的，首先是基于四个省的完整学校名单，然后是随机选择的学校的学生名单。根据四个不同的社会文化群体进行分层。数据收集遵循标准化程序，由津巴布韦大学的一个研究小组进行。文化取向是通过Likert类型的14项规模的媒体，语言和音乐的选择操作。探索性的主成分分析揭示了一个双因素的解决方案，代表了全球或西方的文化取向和当地或津巴布韦的文化取向。年长的兄弟姐妹和最好的朋友吸毒代表了社会因素。文化和社会变量的组合模型进行多元逻辑回归分析。结果显示，社会变量和全球文化取向与这两种药物的使用增加显着相关，而当地的文化取向;发现与使用这些物质无关。调查结果进行了讨论的历史和文化因素。(C)1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
A survey among 3061 secondary school children in four provinces in Zimbabwe was conducted in 1994. In the present paper, the relationships between cultural and social factors and use of inhalants and cannabis are explored. Respondents were selected by means of a two-stage sample design, first based on a complete list of schools in the four provinces and subsequently on lists of students at the randomly selected schools. Stratification was based on the identification of four different sociocultural groups. Data collection followed standardised procedures and was conducted by a research team from University of Zimbabwe. Cultural orientation was operationalised by means of a Likert-type 14-item scale on choice of media, language and music. Exploratory principal component analysis revealed a two-factor solution, representing a global or Western cultural orientation and a local or Zimbabwean cultural orientation. Drug use by older siblings and best friends represented social factors. A combined model of cultural and social variables was subject to a multiple logistic regression analysis. Results revealed that the social variables and global cultural orientation were significantly associated with increased use of both drugs, whereas a local cultural orientation was;found not to be associated with use of these substances. Findings are discussed in the light of historical and cultural factors. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
