Abstract

Violence is a major adverse outcome associated with cocaine use. Brazil presents a unique case study with high levels of cocaine use. We present a systematized, comprehensive review of peer-reviewed studies investigating the association between cocaine product use and the perpetration or victimization of physical violence in Brazil since 2000. A systematized search strategy containing MeSH-based indexing terms focusing on cocaine use and physical violence was applied to five databases. Twenty-five studies were identified, comprising primarily quantitative-based investigations assessing associations of violence-related outcomes involving cocaine/crack-cocaine use in general, socially vulnerable, or treatment populations. Comparatively high levels of victimization or perpetration of violence in cocaine users were identified, including robbery, assault, homicide, and sexual abuse, and high rates of toxicology-positive tests for cocaine in victims of violent injuries or deaths (e.g., homicides). Violence outcomes appear to be disproportionately associated with cocaine use and represent a major component of cocaine use-related adverse outcomes for users and others in Brazil. Improved studies assessing factors associated with cocaine use and violence are necessary, also towards developing more effective intervention strategies to reduce the harm outcomes of cocaine use. The role of other psychoactive substance use influencing violence in cocaine users, especially alcohol, should be further investigated.

巴西可卡因产品使用与暴力结果之间的关系:一项全面、系统的审查
暴力是与可卡因使用有关的一个主要不良后果。巴西是可卡因使用率高的一个独特案例。我们对同行评议的研究进行了系统、全面的回顾,这些研究调查了自2000年以来巴西可卡因产品的使用与身体暴力的实施或受害之间的关系。对五个数据库采用了系统化的搜索策略,其中包含以可卡因使用和身体暴力为重点的基于mesh的索引词。确定了25项研究,主要包括基于定量的调查,评估了可卡因/快克可卡因使用者、社会弱势群体或治疗人群中与暴力有关的结果的关联。经查明,可卡因使用者中受害或实施暴力的程度相对较高,包括抢劫、殴打、杀人和性虐待,暴力伤害或死亡(例如杀人案)受害者的可卡因毒理学检测呈阳性的比例也很高。暴力结果与可卡因使用的关系不成比例,是巴西可卡因使用者和其他人使用可卡因相关不良后果的一个主要组成部分。为了制定更有效的干预战略以减少可卡因使用的危害后果,有必要改进评估与可卡因使用和暴力有关的因素的研究。应进一步调查其他精神活性物质使用对可卡因使用者暴力行为的影响,特别是酒精。

期刊介绍: Aggression and Violent Behavior, A Review Journal is a multidisciplinary journal that publishes substantive and integrative reviews, as well as summary reports of innovative ongoing clinical research programs on a wide range of topics germane to the field of aggression and violent behavior.
