Abstract

Background/aim: Increasing international migration poses unique challenges, especially regarding health outcomes and behaviors such as substance use. This study aims to identify risk factors influencing substance use among Turkish-origin immigrants in Germany.

Materials and methods: Data were obtained from the STEPS survey conducted by the Presidency for Turks Abroad and Related Communities (YTB) in 2021 in Germany. A total of 1157 participants were selected through a quota sampling method. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics and logistic regression utilizing IBM SPSS Statistics 21.

Results: The study found a significant association between substance use and variables such as generation status, age, and sex. Third-generation immigrants showed a higher propensity for substance use compared to the first and second generations. Significant relationships were also observed between substance use and other risk behaviors such as tobacco and alcohol consumption.

Conclusion: Substance use among Turkish-origin immigrants in Germany is influenced by generational status, with younger and third-generation individuals being at higher risk. Additionally, tobacco and alcohol use are strong predictors of substance use, highlighting the need for targeted interventions, especially for young migrants.

确定影响德国土耳其裔移民使用药物的风险因素。

背景/目的：日益增多的国际移民带来了独特的挑战，尤其是在健康结果和行为（如药物使用）方面。本研究旨在确定影响德国土耳其裔移民使用药物的风险因素：数据来自德国海外土耳其人及相关社区主席团（YTB）于 2021 年在德国进行的 STEPS 调查。通过配额抽样方法共选出 1157 名参与者。数据分析包括使用 IBM SPSS 统计软件 21 进行描述性统计和逻辑回归：研究发现，药物使用与代际状况、年龄和性别等变量之间存在明显关联。与第一代和第二代移民相比，第三代移民更倾向于使用药物。此外，还观察到药物使用与其他风险行为（如烟草和酒精消费）之间的重要关系：结论：在德国的土耳其裔移民使用药物受世代状况的影响，年轻一代和第三代移民的风险更高。此外，烟草和酒精的使用也是预测药物使用的重要因素，这突出表明有必要采取有针对性的干预措施，尤其是针对年轻移民。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
