Abstract

Abstract This study investigated the prevalence and odds of, as well as risk factors for, substance use among Canadian adolescents with chronic health conditions. Adolescents ages 12 to 16 years from the Ontario Child Health Study were analyzed. Prevalence rates of heavy alcohol use, regular smoking, and having tried illicit drugs were 8.0% (N = 55), 11.0% (N = 76), and 13.8% (N = 95), respectively. Odds of ever having tried alcohol were higher among adolescents with chronic health conditions (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 2.24 [1.18, 4.25]). No associations were found with other forms of substance use. Among adolescents with chronic health conditions, those who were older and exhibited symptoms of mental health problems were at increased odds of reporting lifetime heavy alcohol use. Coordinated prevention strategies within the primary health care and educational systems are needed.

有和没有慢性健康问题的青少年物质使用的比较研究

摘要:本研究调查了加拿大慢性健康状况青少年药物使用的患病率和几率，以及危险因素。从安大略省儿童健康研究中分析了12至16岁的青少年。重度饮酒、经常吸烟和尝试过非法药物的患病率分别为8.0% (N = 55)、11.0% (N = 76)和13.8% (N = 95)。有慢性健康问题的青少年曾经尝试饮酒的几率更高(调整后的优势比[AOR] = 2.24[1.18, 4.25])。没有发现与其他形式的物质使用有关。在患有慢性健康问题的青少年中，那些年龄较大且表现出精神健康问题症状的青少年报告终生重度饮酒的几率更高。需要在初级卫生保健和教育系统内制定协调一致的预防战略。
