Abstract:
Regression analysis was carried out to examine the association between certain socio-demographic characteristics and substance use among internally displaced persons (IDPs). Using an adapted version of the Drug Use Disorder Identification Test (DUDIT) instrument, cross-sectional survey data were obtained from 520 IDPs living in three camps located in Maiduguri, Borno state of Nigeria. The data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences software version 21.0. Specifically, this article provides data about the participants\' demographic characteristics, the types of substances they use, reasons for using such substances, and the prevalence of substance use. This dataset can offer valuable multivariate information for future research agendas in similar, or closely related study populations. This cross-sectional dataset is also valuable for policymakers who are seeking ways to intervene in the substance use problem, as well as other associated social vices, affecting the vulnerable population of IDPs.
摘要:
进行了回归分析,以检查国内流离失所者(IDP)的某些社会人口特征与物质使用之间的关联。使用改编版的药物使用障碍鉴定测试(DUDIT)仪器,横断面调查数据来自生活在迈杜古里三个营地的520名国内流离失所者,尼日利亚博尔诺州。使用社会科学统计软件包软件版本21.0分析数据。具体来说,本文提供了有关参与者的人口统计学特征的数据,他们使用的物质类型,使用这些物质的原因,以及药物使用的普遍性。这个数据集可以为未来的研究议程提供有价值的多变量信息,或密切相关的研究人群。这个横截面数据集对于正在寻求干预物质使用问题的政策制定者也很有价值,以及其他相关的社会恶习,影响国内流离失所者的弱势群体。
