Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
Des informations démographiques, comportementales et sur l'usage de la drogue ont été recueillies chez 1 548 jeunes gens de 18 à 29 ans du sud-ouest de la Chine. Le fait d'avoir suivi des études pendant plus de six ans était un facteur de protection face à la drogue. L'usage de drogue dans la communauté était associé au fait d'avoir été encouragé par des amis à essayer différentes drogues (71 %), au fait de fumer des cigarettes (50 %) et au fait d'appartenir au groupe Jingpo (groupe ethnique).
ENGLISH :
To identify risk factors for drug use among young males in southwest China a cross-sectional survey and a non-concurrent cohort study were conducted. Demographic, behavioral and drug-use information was collected from young males aged 18–29 years. The non-concurrent cohort included the period 1 January 1991 to 1 August 1994. A total of 1548 subjects were interviewed. The cumulative incidence increased between 1991 and 1993. Multivariate analysis identified the following significant risk factors for drug use: being divorced/widowed/separated, having been encouraged by friends/others to ay drugs, smoking cigarettes, belonging to the fingpo ethnic group, and having a family member who used drugs in 1991. More than 6 years of education vjas a protective factor for drug use. Drug use in the community was associated with having been encouraged by friends or others to try drugs (71%), to smoking cigarettes (50%), and to belonging to the Jingpo group (24%). The results are consistent with community based prevention approaches which should be studied carefully because of the unique cultural and epidemiological situation in China.
