Résumé :
Objectives: To describe the prevalence of MDMA consumption and the toxicological and psychological profile in a sample of secondary school students. Subjects and Method: During the 1998-99 school year, a sample of 2,862 young people from Oviedo (Asturias) of both sexes [mean age (SD): 15.87 (1.48); 50.6% males] were studied. Evaluation: WHO Drug Consumption Questionnaire, Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, Adult Version (EPQ-A), and Zuckerman Sensation Seeking Scale (SSS). Results: The prevalence of lifetime, previous year and previous month MDMA use was 3.8%, 2.7% and 1.6%, ranking it 7th among illicit drugs ever used. Males showed a higher lifetime, previous year, and previous month consumption of MDMA than females (p<.05). Compared to students who had never used MDMA (but who may have used other illicit drugs) MDMA users had a more extensive drug abuse history. MDMA is, after heroin, the drug with the highest polyconsumption level. Lifetime MDMA consumers had significantly higher scores on the EPQ-A psychoticism subscale of the EPQ-A, and showed higher levels of sensation-seeking. Conclusions: MDMA consumers are polyconsumers of other legal and illegal substances. Those who consume MDMA have a different psychological profile, characterized by high sensation-seeking and high levels of psychoticism. (Review's abstract.)
