Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
La prévalence d'usage de substances illicites est élevée dans la vie courante des malades mentaux de l'échantillon étudié. Un contexte d'usage familial est associé à un usage modéré ou lourd. On ne note pas d'association entre une pathologie psychiatrique importante ou un non respect des médications, et un usage lourd.
ENGLISH :
Substance use among a random sample of mentally ill, community-based patients was examined. Current use was found to have declined substantially from a high lifetime prevalence, and a family history of substance abuse was associated with moderate to heavy use. No association was found between heavy substance use and elevated psychopathology, hospitalization, or medication noncompliance. Hospital admission and some symptoms were less prevalent among users preferring marijuana. (From authors' abstract)
