Abstract

ABSTRACT Research on college substance use and mental illness is limited and inconsistent. Measures of substance use, and anxiety and depressive symptoms, were completed by 1,316 undergraduates within a major drug transportation corridor. Hierarchical linear regressions were used to test associations between anxious and depressive symptoms and substance use (i.e., alcohol, cannabis, tobacco, cocaine, other amphetamines, sedatives, hallucinogens, and designer drugs). Depressive symptoms were associated with use of cannabis, tobacco, amphetamines, cocaine, sedatives, and hallucinogens. Anxiety symptoms were unrelated to substance use. These findings support the need for education and prevention at universities, emphasizing tobacco, cannabis, and certain “harder” drugs.

大学生的物质使用、焦虑和抑郁症状

大学生药物使用与精神疾病的关系研究有限且不一致。在一个主要的毒品运输通道内，1316名大学生完成了物质使用、焦虑和抑郁症状的测量。使用层次线性回归来检验焦虑和抑郁症状与物质使用(即酒精、大麻、烟草、可卡因、其他安非他明、镇静剂、致幻剂和设计药物)之间的关系。抑郁症状与大麻、烟草、安非他明、可卡因、镇静剂和致幻剂的使用有关。焦虑症状与药物使用无关。这些发现支持了大学教育和预防的必要性，强调烟草、大麻和某些“更难”的毒品。
