Abstract：
To determine if decreasing lifetime use of methamphetamines, cocaine, ecstasy, and inhalants among high school students occurring from 2009 to 2019 in the U.S. also occurred in five southeastern states, Youth Risk Behavior Survey data representative of high school students in grades 9-12 in 2009 and 2019 were analyzed. In a classroom setting, lifetime use of methamphetamines, cocaine, ecstasy, and inhalants were self-reported. Students nationwide (n = 30,087) were compared to students in Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina (n = 18,237). Lifetime methamphetamine use significantly increased from 4.8% in 2009 to 6.2% in 2019 in the southeast but decreased from 4.1 to 2.2% nationwide. Use of cocaine, ecstasy, and inhalants remained stable in the southeast while decreasing significantly nationwide from 2009 to 2019. During a period when use of methamphetamines, cocaine, ecstasy, and inhalants among high school students in the U.S. decreased, use in southeastern states did not change. Culturally specific programs and interventions may be needed to prevent illicit drug use in communities of southeastern states where youth remain at risk.
摘要：
为了确定是否减少终生使用甲基苯丙胺，可卡因,摇头丸,2009年至2019年在美国发生的高中生吸入剂也发生在东南五个州，对2009年和2019年具有代表性的9-12年级高中生青少年危险行为调查数据进行分析。在教室里，终生使用甲基苯丙胺,可卡因,摇头丸,和吸入剂是自我报告。全国学生（n=30,087）与阿拉巴马州的学生进行了比较，格鲁吉亚,路易斯安那州,密西西比州,和南卡罗来纳州（n=18,237）。在东南部，甲基苯丙胺的终生使用从2009年的4.8％显着增加到2019年的6.2％，但在全国范围内从4.1％下降到2.2％。使用可卡因,摇头丸,2009年至2019年，东南部的吸入剂保持稳定，而全国范围内的吸入剂则大幅下降。在使用甲基苯丙胺期间，可卡因,摇头丸,美国高中生的吸入剂减少了，在东南部各州的使用没有改变。可能需要针对文化的计划和干预措施，以防止在青年仍处于危险之中的东南部州社区使用非法药物。
