Abstract

Background: Inhalation (Sniffing) of N₂O among adolescents has increased in Sweden during recent years. Both neurological and thromboembolic consequences have been reported. This study aims to evaluate the association between a sensation-seeking personality and sniffing of N₂O among students attending schools in Stockholm.

Method: Students, 15-18 years old, from 77% of schools in Stockholm participated summing up to 8389 boys and 8425 girls. Data was self-reported. Both crude and adjusted regression models were calculated.

Results: In the crude model, sensation seeking was associated with higher odds for use of N₂O OR = 4.22 (confidence interval = 3.66-4.86). When controlling for binge drinking of alcohol, use of nicotine and cannabis, parental education, own spending money per month, and school-related covariates and also considering gender, sensation-seeking was still related to higher odds OR = 1.50 (CI = 1.11-2.01).

Conclusions: The results suggest that sensation seeking is associated with sniffing of N₂O in boys as well as girls.

瑞典青少年娱乐性使用一氧化二氮（N2O）和寻求刺激：一项横断面研究

背景：近年来瑞典青少年吸入（嗅探）一氧化二氮的情况有所增加。神经系统和血栓栓塞的后果都有报道。本研究旨在评估在斯德哥尔摩上学的学生中寻求感觉的个性与嗅吸N2O之间的关系。方法：来自斯德哥尔摩77%学校的15-18岁学生参与了研究，共计8389名男生和8425名女生。数据是自我报告的。计算粗回归模型和调整后的回归模型。结果：在粗糙模型中，感觉寻求与使用N2O的几率较高相关OR = 4.22（置信区间= 3.66-4.86）。在控制了酗酒、使用尼古丁和大麻、父母教育程度、自己每月的支出和学校相关的变量并考虑到性别后，寻求感觉仍然与更高的几率相关，OR = 1.50 （CI = 1.11-2.01）。结论：结果表明男孩和女孩的感觉寻求与嗅探N2O有关。
