Background: Substance use disorder is a serious public health problem. It is essential to know who is prone to substance use in order to adopt appropriate measures. Objectives: This study aims to determine the use prevalence ratios of substance use (tobacco, alcohol, cannabis, cocaine, synthetic cannabinoids, ecstasy, and others) in a large-scale sample of a general population. It also intends to examine related sociodemographic factors. Methods: This study is based on a cross-sectional survey conducted with a nationally representative sample of 24,494 individuals in face-to-face interviews conducted by a trained team of 125 clinical psychologists. Results: Lifetime prevalence of single substance use and polysubstance use are 4.5 and 2.6%, respectively (nicotine and alcohol excluded). Age, gender, education level, and marital status are important sociodemographic determinants for other substance use. Similarly, smoking and alcohol consumption are important determinants for other substance use. The multinomial regression analysis results showed that compared with adults aged 39 years and older, early-emerging adults (aged 18–23 years), late-emerging adults (aged 24–29 years), and young adults (aged 30–39 years) are more likely to turn to single substance use and polysubstance use. Conclusion: Tobacco, alcohol, and other substance use are serious health concerns in Turkey. Sociodemographic status is an important determinant of several aspects of tobacco, alcohol, and other substance use and, therefore, should be examined thoroughly to be able to develop effective protective and preventive strategies.

土耳其物质使用的流行率和社会人口学决定因素

背景：物质使用障碍是一个严重的公共卫生问题。为了采取适当的措施，必须了解谁容易吸毒。目标：本研究旨在确定一般人群的大规模样本中物质使用（烟草、酒精、大麻、可卡因、合成大麻素、摇头丸等）的使用流行率。它还打算检查相关的社会人口因素。方法：本研究基于由 125 名临床心理学家组成的训练有素的团队进行的面对面访谈，对 24,494 名具有全国代表性的样本进行了横断面调查。结果：单一物质使用和多物质使用的终生流行率分别为 4.5% 和 2.6%（不包括尼古丁和酒精）。年龄、性别、教育水平和婚姻状况是其他物质使用的重要社会人口决定因素。同样，吸烟和饮酒是其他物质使用的重要决定因素。多项回归分析结果显示，与39岁及以上成年人相比，早发成年人（18-23岁）、晚发成年人（24-29岁）和青壮年（30-39岁）更有可能转向单一物质使用和多物质使用。结论：在土耳其，烟草、酒精和其他物质的使用是严重的健康问题。社会人口学状况是烟草、酒精和其他物质使用的多个方面的重要决定因素，因此应彻底检查以制定有效的保护和预防策略。
