Abstract

Abstract Vanessa is a youth-led service promoting road safety at music festivals. We conducted a cross-sectional survey at 23 festivals in Victoria, Australia to investigate alcohol and illicit drug use among attendees aged ≥16 years who visited Vanessa. Participants completed the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test - Consumption (AUDIT-C) and reported recent illicit drug use and intentions to use drugs at festivals. Multinomial and logistic regression identified correlates of risky drinking and drug use. 2305 participants were recruited (60% female, median age 22). Most (98%) consumed alcohol in the past year and 26% had high-risk AUDIT-C scores. Almost half (48%) reported recent drug use and 24% intended to use drugs at festivals. Females had lower odds than males of recent drug use [adjusted odds ratio (AOR)=0.49, 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.38, 0.62], intending to use drugs at festivals (AOR = 0.60, CI = 0.45, 0.80) and lower risk of high-risk drinking (adjusted relative risk ratio (ARRR)=0.35, CI = 0.27, 0.47). Attending electronic music festivals was associated with high-risk drinking (ARRR = 2.07, CI = 1.14, 3.72), recent drug use (AOR = 2.23, CI = 1.42, 3.51) and intending to use drugs at festivals (AOR = 1.90, CI = 1.15, 3.14). Vanessa was a useful setting to reach young people reporting risky alcohol consumption and illicit drug use. Genre of music festivals may be useful for tailoring harm reduction strategies.

澳大利亚年轻音乐节参与者的酒精消费和非法药物使用情况

Vanessa是一个以青年为主导的音乐节道路安全推广服务。我们在澳大利亚维多利亚州的23个节日中进行了横断面调查，调查凡妮莎的年龄≥16岁的与会者的酒精和非法药物使用情况。参与者完成了酒精使用障碍识别测试-消费(AUDIT-C)，并报告了最近的非法药物使用情况和在节日期间使用药物的意图。多项和逻辑回归确定了危险饮酒和药物使用的相关性。2305名参与者被招募(60%为女性，中位年龄22岁)。大多数(98%)在过去一年中饮酒，26%有高危审计- c评分。近一半(48%)的人报告最近吸毒，24%的人打算在节日期间吸毒。女性近期吸毒倾向低于男性[调整优势比(AOR)=0.49, 95%可信区间(CI)=0.38, 0.62]，节庆期间吸毒倾向低于男性(AOR = 0.60, CI = 0.45, 0.80)，高危饮酒风险低于男性(调整相对风险比(ARRR)=0.35, CI = 0.27, 0.47)。参加电子音乐节与高危饮酒(ARRR = 2.07, CI = 1.14, 3.72)、近期吸毒(AOR = 2.23, CI = 1.42, 3.51)和在节日期间吸毒意向(AOR = 1.90, CI = 1.15, 3.14)相关。凡妮莎是接触报告危险饮酒和非法使用药物的年轻人的有益场所。音乐节的类型可能有助于制定减少伤害的策略。
