Abstract

Background

The study analyzes the association between substance use among scheduled tribe men mostly known for their primitiveness, geographical isolation, insecurity, social, educational, and economic backwardness, and non-scheduled tribe men in India’s northeastern state and the eastern state of West Bengal.

Methods

The analysis of data representative across the country from the National Family and Health Survey's fifth wave (NFHS-5), which was conducted in 2019-2020, evaluated the prevalence of tobacco and alcohol use among 12,950 men between the ages of 15 and 54. Logistic regressions and bivariate analyses were performed to analyze the relationship between the socio-demographic determinants of substance use among ST and non-ST men.

Results

It has been found significant that 30.62% of non-ST males and 39.14% of ST males in the study’s sample consume any form of tobacco, whereas 49.23% of ST men and 29.56% of non-ST men consume alcohol. Men in the middle age groups, lower or uneducated, divorced, separated, or deserted, mainly from the urban residence; others, Buddhist, Hindu, and Christian religions belonging to the wealth quintiles of the poorest to richest; also, the unorganized workers consumed higher quantities of substances. Based on a correlation study between substance use and socioeconomic factors, middle-aged males who work in unorganized jobs, follow other religions, are from worse socioeconomic quintiles, are divorced, separated, deserted, or widowed are much more likely to consume substances.

Conclusion

This study concludes that both smoking and non-smoking tobacco substance, mostly alcohol, is more common among ST men compared to the non-STs in WB and NEI due to low sociodemographic status. The study also highlights the regional differences in substance use among both communities. However, there is a need to address substance misuse among the most vulnerable socioeconomic groups as it concerns their health and well-being.

印度东部和东北部各邦男性部落和非部落社区的药物使用情况及相关社会人口因素:来自第五次全国家庭健康调查的循证研究
摘要 背景 该研究分析了印度东北部邦和东部西孟加拉邦的表列部落男性与非表列部落男性使用药物之间的关联,表列部落男性大多以原始、地理隔离、不安全、社会、教育和经济落后而闻名。 方法 通过分析 2019-2020 年开展的全国家庭与健康调查第五波(NFHS-5)的全国代表性数据,评估了 12950 名 15 至 54 岁男性的烟酒使用率。为了分析在册和非在册男性使用药物的社会人口决定因素之间的关系,进行了逻辑回归和双变量分析。 结果发现,研究样本中有 30.62% 的非 ST 男性和 39.14% 的 ST 男性吸烟,而 49.23% 的 ST 男性和 29.56% 的非 ST 男性饮酒。中年男性、低学历或未受过教育的男性、离异、分居或被遗弃的男性(主要来自城市居住地)、其他信奉佛教、印度教和基督教的男性(属于从最贫穷到最富有的五分之一财富阶层)以及无组织工人的物质消费量较高。根据药物使用与社会经济因素之间的相关性研究,从事无组织工作、信仰其他宗教、社会经济状况较差、离异、分居、被遗弃或丧偶的中年男性更有可能消费药物。 结论 本研究得出结论,由于社会人口状况较差,在西伯利亚和东北亚地区,在册男性吸 烟和不吸烟(主要是饮酒)的情况比非在册男性更为普遍。本研究还强调了两个社区在药物使用方面的地区差异。然而,有必要解决最弱势社会经济群体滥用药物的问题,因为这关系到他们的健康和福祉。
