Abstract

The current study analyzes a sample of questions about drugs asked online by youth who participated in the National Institute on Drug Abuse’s (NIDA) “Drug Facts Chat Day.” The types of drugs youth asked about were coded into 17 substance categories, and the topics they raised were coded into seven thematic categories. The top five queried drugs were marijuana (16.4%), alcohol (8.5%), tobacco (6%), cocaine (5.7), and pharmaceutical drugs (4.5%). The effects of drug use, experience of being high, the addictiveness of drugs, pharmacology, and drug sales were among the more common types of questions to emerge but varied depending on the substance. These findings show the types of information young people are seeking about drugs and have clear implications to inform youth drug education programs.

青少年对毒品有什么问题?NIDA药物事实日报告

目前的研究分析了参加国家药物滥用研究所(NIDA)“毒品真相聊天日”的年轻人在网上提出的关于毒品的问题样本。青年所询问的毒品类型被编码为17个物质类别，他们提出的题目被编码为7个专题类别。被问及最多的5种毒品分别是大麻(16.4%)、酒精(8.5%)、烟草(6%)、可卡因(5.7)和药物(4.5%)。药物使用的影响、兴奋的经历、药物的成瘾性、药理学和药物销售是出现的更常见的问题类型，但因物质而异。这些发现显示了年轻人正在寻求的关于毒品的信息类型，并对青少年毒品教育计划有明确的影响。
