Abstract

Background: Substance abuse has significant health impacts on families and society as a whole. We aimed to provide detailed prevalence estimates of substance abuse among the Azar Cohort Study respondents in Tabriz, Iran.

Methods: Data on 15006 participants of Azar Cohort Study were analyzed. The variables included tobacco smoking, alcohol use, drug abuse, and socio-demographic characteristics. The prevalence of substance abuse (with a 95% confidence interval) was calculated using the direct standardization method.

Results: Overall, 9.3% and 6.2% of the participants were regular and heavy cigarette smokers, respectively. Also, 1.9% and 2.1% of participants reported a history of using illicit drugs and alcohol, respectively. Substance abuse was more prevalent among males than females. Substance abuse varied significantly with age and socioeconomic variables.

Conclusion: We identified specific demographic and socioeconomic groups with a higher prevalence of all studied behaviors. Such high-risk groups should be targeted when designing substance abuse prevention programs.

伊朗成年人吸烟、饮酒和药物滥用的患病率:Azar队列研究的结果

背景:药物滥用对家庭和整个社会都有重大的健康影响。我们的目的是在伊朗大不里士的阿扎尔队列研究受访者中提供药物滥用的详细患病率估计。方法:对15006例Azar队列研究的资料进行分析。这些变量包括吸烟、饮酒、滥用药物和社会人口特征。使用直接标准化方法计算药物滥用的发生率(95%置信区间)。结果:总体而言，9.3%和6.2%的参与者分别是经常吸烟者和重度吸烟者。此外，分别有1.9%和2.1%的参与者报告有使用非法药物和酒精的历史。药物滥用在男性中比在女性中更为普遍。药物滥用与年龄和社会经济变量有显著差异。结论:我们确定了特定的人口统计学和社会经济群体在所有研究行为中具有较高的患病率。在设计药物滥用预防方案时，应该针对这些高危人群。
