ABSTRACT

Background

No studies have investigated changes of substance or alcohol consumption for non-problematic drug users within a period without restrictions in comparison with a period of lockdown.

Objectives

Identification of changes in habits and in substance consumption styles during the lockdown due to COVID-19 among socially integrated people who use drugs.

Methods

Semi-structured questionnaire administered via video calls.

Results

During the lockdown we highlight a reduction in consumption and expenditure on illegal substances (cocaine, MDMA, ketamine) and alcohol (spirits) and a drastic drop in alcohol misuse. Many interviewees have stopped or have passed from acontextual consumption of substances, connected to sociality, to asolitary use motivated by boredom (alcohol and cannabis), habit (alcohol), search for particular sensations (cannabis) and escape from reality (cocaine). Substance consumption alone increased.

Conclusion

Particular attention should be paid to the study of the dissemination and socialization of individual harm reduction practices among socially integrated people who use drug.

COVID-19 封锁期间吸毒者的物质消费方式

摘要

背景

没有研究调查过与禁闭期相比，在不受限制的时期内，没有问题的吸毒者在物质或酒精消费方面的变化。

目标

识别因 COVID-19 而在社会融合的吸毒者中因 COVID-19 而导致的习惯和物质消费方式的变化。

方法

通过视频通话管理的半结构化问卷。

结果

在封锁期间，我们强调非法物质（可卡因、摇头丸、氯胺酮）和酒精（烈酒）的消费和支出减少，酒精滥用现象急剧下降。许多受访者已经停止或已经从与社会性相关的物质消费转变为因无聊（酒精和大麻）、习惯（酒精）、寻找特定感觉（大麻）和逃避现实（可卡因）而单独使用。仅物质消耗量就增加了。

结论

应特别注意研究在社会融合的吸毒者中个人减少危害实践的传播和社会化。
