Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
Le mésusage des médicaments opiacés a été reconnu comme un problème de santé publique croissant à travers la nation. Il est nécessaire de mieux connaître cette population pour développer des programmes de prévention et de traitement adaptés. Cette étude exploratoire est basée sur des entretiens qualitatifs avec 24 personnes dans la région de Dayton/Colombus, Ohio.
ENGLISH :
Pharmaceutical opioid misuse has been recognized as a growing public health problem across the nation. To develop appropriate treatment and prevention programs, the population of pharmaceutical opioid abusers has to be well understood. This exploratory study is based on qualitative interviews with 24 people in the Dayton/Columbus, Ohio, area. Interviews were conducted for the Ohio Substance Abuse Monitoring Network, a statewide epidemiological surveillance system. Participants ranged in age from 18 to 48 years; the majority was White and male. To explain initiation and continued use of pharmaceutical opioids, participants discussed a number of different reasons, including self-medication of emotional and physical pain, legitimate medical prescriptions related to chronic pain management, social influences, recreation, and easy access to pharmaceutical opioids. On the basis of participant age and lifetime experiences with pharmaceutical opioid and other drug misuse, six user groups were identified that faced unique risks and prevention/treatment challenges. Research implications are discussed. (Author' s abstract)
