BACKGROUND:The lives of persons who use illicit substances are filled with physical adversities and negative outcomes. OBJECTIVES:The purpose of this study was to determine: 1) the frequency of substance-related fights, fractures, and driving accidents in the past year among heroin users entering an inpatient detoxification program, and 2) to determine demographic and recent substance use factors associated with the most common of these physical traumas. METHODS:Between May 2015 and December 2015, we surveyed 433 persons entering a short-term inpatient detoxification program that reported heroin use in the last month and recorded their experiences of physical traumas in the last year. RESULTS:Among participants (72% male; 74% heroin injectors), more than a quarter (28.6%) reported a substance-related fight in the past year. Multivariate modeling revealed cocaine use, hazardous alcohol use, and younger age were significantly associated with fighting, but gender was not. Forty-five (10.4%) persons reported a fracture in the past year, with 64% of fractures related to a substance-related fall or fight. Additionally, 9.0% reported being a driver in a car accident after drinking or using drugs in the past year. Trauma rates were not significantly different from a contemporaneous cohort seeking alcohol detoxification at the same facility. CONCLUSION:Heroin users, both men and women, lead physically traumatic lives, interrupted by interpersonal violence, falls, fractures, and motor vehicle accidents.

背景:使用非法药物的人的生活充满了身体上的逆境和负面结果。
目的:本研究的目的是确定:1​​)参加住院排毒计划的海洛因使用者在过去一年中与药物有关的打架,骨折和驾驶事故的频率,以及2)确定人口统计资料和近期的药物使用因素与这些身体创伤中最常见的疾病相关。
方法:2015年5月至2015年12月,我们调查了433名进入短期住院排毒计划的人,他们报告了最近一个月的海洛因使用情况,并记录了他们去年的身体创伤经历。
结果:在过去的一年中,参与者中(72%的男性; 74%的海洛因注射器)中有超过四分之一(28.6%)的人报告了与毒品有关的斗争。多变量建模显示,可卡因的使用,有害酒精的使用以及年龄的降低与打架有显着联系,而性别却没有。在过去的一年中,有四十五(10.4%)人报告了骨折,其中64%的骨折与物质相关的摔倒或打架有关。此外,在过去一年中,有9.0%的人报告是在喝酒或吸毒后发生车祸的驾驶员。创伤率与同期在同一机构寻求戒毒的队列没有显着差异。
结论:无论是男性还是女性,使用海洛因的人都遭受身体创伤,被人际暴力,跌倒,骨折和机动车事故打断。
