Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
Différents paramètres sont comparés, pour évaluer leur impact sur la consommation de solvants chez 7744 étudiants japonais : l'usage de produits licites ou illicites dans le passé, les connaissances sur les risques des produits, la qualité de la vie scolaire, familiale, sociale.
ENGLISH :
To estimate the relative association between life-time volatile solvent use and risk factors for usage. Setting : Junior high schools in Kanto, Japan. Measurements : Data on life-time and past-year solvent use, demographic variables, urbanization, regularity of waking patterns, school life, family life, peer relationships, prior alcohol and cigarette use and knowledge on harmful effects of solvent use. The primary findings were (1) 'smoking cigarettes nearly every day' and peer pressure measured by 'been tempted to use solvents' demonstrated the highest adjusted odds ratios: (2) being male, seeing school life as 'not at all enjoyable' and family environment as `neither good nor bad' also showed significant association; (3) life-time alcohol use did not show a significant association in the multivariate model ; and (4) solvent use appeared independent of knowledge regarding its effects ('death by acute intoxication', 'psychotic symptoms', 'amotivational syndrome', 'flashbacks'). Alcohol use may not function as a gateway to solvent use in Japan. The reasons may be culture-bound. A longitudinal study is required to test this hypothesis. (From author' s abstract)
