Abstract

Objective: The objectives of this study were to describe: 1) cannabis use behaviors; 2) self-reported cannabis-related harms and harmful behaviors among adults in Thailand, stratified by sex (assigned at birth) and age groups.Material and Methods: A nationally-representative survey among adults in Thailand in May 2023 was conducted. Data using descriptive statistics with sampling weight adjustment was analyzed.Results: Among the study participants (n=2,191 participants), approximately 15% of the participants were current cannabis users (estimated number: 7.5 million people aged 20 or over nationwide). Former and current users reported recreation or other non-medical purposes as the primary purposes of use (93% combined). Ingestion was the most common method of cannabis use. Male participants were more likely than female participants in all age groups to report using smoked cannabis. The most common harmful was riding a motorcycle after having used cannabis, although virtually no participants reported road accidents after same-day cannabis use.Conclusion: This study's data provided basic information for relevant stakeholders. However, the lack of detailed information, the potential influence of social desirability, and the limited temporal generalizability should be considered in the interpretation of this study’s findings.

按出生时性别和年龄组分列的泰国成年人吸食大麻的行为和相关危害
研究目的本研究旨在描述1)使用大麻的行为;2)泰国成年人自我报告的大麻相关危害和有害行为,按性别(出生时分配)和年龄组进行分层:2023 年 5 月对泰国成年人进行了一次具有全国代表性的调查。采用描述性统计方法对数据进行了分析,并对抽样权重进行了调整:在研究参与者(人数=2,191 人)中,约 15%的参与者目前是大麻使用者(估计人数:全国 20 岁或以上人口为 750 万)。以前和现在的使用者称,娱乐或其他非医疗目的是吸食大麻的主要目的(两者合计占 93%)。摄入是最常见的大麻使用方法。在所有年龄组中,男性参与者比女性参与者更有可能报告吸食大麻。最常见的危害是吸食大麻后骑摩托车,但几乎没有参与者报告当天吸食大麻后发生交通事故:本研究的数据为相关利益方提供了基本信息。然而,在解释本研究结果时,应考虑到缺乏详细信息、社会可取性的潜在影响以及有限的时间普遍性。
