まとめ
2021年から2023年にかけて,レズビアン,ゲイ,バイセクシュアル (LGB) の女性成人の間で,2つ以上の物質を含む薬物使用が著しく増加しました. LGB 女性のリスクの増大に対処するために ターゲットに絞られたリソースが必要です
科学分野:
- 公衆衛生
- 薬物使用に関する研究
- 健康 の 格差
背景:
- 2つ以上の物質 (≥2) を含む薬物使用は,健康に危険をもたらす行為であると認識されています.
- この行動は,レズビアン,ゲイ,バイセクシュアル (LGB) の女性成人の間で不釣り合いに広がっています.
- LGB の成人の間での多重薬物使用の最近の傾向を理解することは,リスク軽減に不可欠です.
研究 の 目的:
- 米国におけるレズビアン,ゲイ,バイセクシャル (LGB) の成人の2つ以上の物質の使用における時間的傾向を評価する.
- 2021年から2023年にかけての性別と性的アイデンティティによるこれらの傾向を調べる.
主な方法:
- 薬物使用と健康に関する全国調査 (NSDUH) のデータセット (2021-2023) の分析,127,645人の米国成人を含む.
- 過去30日間の2つ以上の物質の使用 (16件中) の検査
- 線形および二次的な傾向テストは,社会人口学的要因を調整して,性同一性および性別による時間の違いを分析するために使用されました.
主要な成果:
- レズビアンおよびバイセクシュアルの女性成人の両者は,2021年から2023年の間に2つ以上の物質の使用が統計的に有意に増加したことを示しました.
- レズビアン女性成人の多重薬物使用率が最も高く (17.3%),次にバイセクシュアル女性成人の多重薬物使用率が最も高く (10.6%).
- これらの増加は統計的に有意であった (p < 0. 001).
結論:
- 2つ以上の物質の使用は,特に,異性愛者の成人とLGBの成人の男性と比較して,レズビアン,ゲイ,バイセクシュアル (LGB) の成人の女性で増加しました.
- LGBの成人の女性における多重薬物使用に対する対応に特化したリソースと効果的な戦略の緊急性を強調しています.
- 介入は,この集団における多重薬物使用に関連した健康リスクの悪化を軽減するのに役立ちます.

Substance use disorders involve a pattern of using drugs more extensively than intended and continuing use despite harmful consequences. This includes legal substances like alcohol and nicotine, as well as illegal drugs. These disorders often involve both physical and psychological dependence, reflecting compulsive use of substances that significantly alter thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, contributing to a major public health issue.

Longitudinal Research

Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Cross-Sectional Research

In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

Drug Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena
655
Drug dependence, abuse, and addiction are complex phenomena that can precipitate various abnormal states. Physical dependence refers to a state of pharmacological adaptation to a drug. This adaptation often results in tolerance—a reduced response to the drug after repeated administrations. When the drug use is abruptly stopped, withdrawal symptoms occur due to the body's need to readjust from the pharmacologically induced imbalance. However, tolerance and withdrawal symptoms do not...

Urinalysis is a widely used diagnostic test that analyzes urine's physical, chemical, and microscopic characteristics. Healthcare providers use it to detect and monitor various health conditions, including renal disease, urinary tract infections (UTIs), diabetes, and metabolic or systemic disorders.Components of UrinalysisUrinalysis consists of three primary components: physical, chemical, and microscopic examination. Each provides unique insights into the urine sample and, by extension, the...

Drug Dependence

Medications are typically administered to achieve therapeutic effects. Some drugs can modify an individual's mood and perception, frequently resulting in various enjoyable experiences. However, this can result in drug dependency, a condition marked by continuous drug use despite potential negative consequences. Drug dependency primarily falls into two categories: psychological and physical dependence. Psychological dependence occurs when the pleasurable feelings induced by the drug...
