Résumé :
ENGLISH :
This study examines differences in psychosocial characteristics, substance use history, and psychiatric comorbidity in relation to heroin use among youths aged 15 to 22 incarcerated in 2003 for illicit drug use in northern Taiwan. Factors associated with heroin use included experiences of child abuse, having friends with illicit drug use, poor school attendance, polydrug use, and early age of drug initiation. Heroin users were found to have more severe clinical manifestation and experiences of conduct and anxiety disorders than non-heroin users; injection users tended to have a longer heroin history. This information may help guide future prevention programs to reduce heroin problems in youth.
