Résumé :
ENGLISH :
This study offers cross-sectional analysis of data collected from the Alcohol and Substance Abuse Awareness and Use Study (ASAAUS). Data collection took place in October 2003 via a self-administered survey. Students who reported sexual abuse history in or around campus were four times more likely to report current amphetamine, cocaine, hallucinogen, opiate, or designer drug use compared to students with no sexual abuse history. Logistic regression analyses indicated that lifetime drug use was significantly associated with sexual abuse history (OR = 2.2, p < .O5). While the relationships tested in this study are exploratory, they provide evidence for an important connection between sexual abuse and substance use among African-American college students.
