RESUMO

Background: The costs to the individual and to society of psychoactive substanceuse is of growing concern in Bhutan. This study aimed to assess the relationbetween the demographic variables of patients admitted to the National ReferralHospital for first-time detoxification and the psychoactive substances used.Methods: The demographic variables and types of psychoactive substance usedby 284 substance users were reviewed. Data were collected through patients’history sheets and admission registers, and analysed through descriptive statistics,one-way analysis of variance and independent t test.Results: The commonest psychoactive substance used was alcohol, followed bycannabis, nitrazepam, dextropropoxyphene, glue (inhaled) and chlorphenamine/pseudoephedrine/codeine-containing cough syrup. Only 14% of participants wereaged 45 years or older. Most patients used more than one substance; the meannumber of psychoactive substances used was highest among males, individualsaged 15–24 years and those who were unemployed.Conclusion: Among patients admitted for first-time detoxification, harmful use ofalcohol is the most common, followed by cannabis and illicit prescription drugs.Preventive measures should be prioritized on a need-based strategy. The findingsof this study indicate that some of these preventive measures should be focusedon males, unemployed groups and youth, and should involve raising awarenessof harmful use of substances and the services available to treat substance usedisorders.

RESUMO

We conducted a cross-sectional study on a randomly selected sample of 2304 males aged 15-49 years from 4 governorates in Lower Egypt to assess their condom use and knowledge and attitudes towards condom use. Condoms were considered an effective method of contraception and prevention of transmission of sexually transmitted infections [STIs] by 60.5% and 60.0% respectively. Only 23.9% had ever used condoms, mainly for contraception, but 26.8% would consider using them in the future. A quarter reported knowing how to use condoms properly. Obstacles to condom use included perceived lack of need [75.7%], rejection by partner [57.6%] and hazards of condoms [31.9%]. The majority knew about HIV/AIDS [90.8%] but a few felt at risk of STIs [11.2%] or HIV infection [10.3%]
