| Abstract |
Objectives: To examine drug use prevalence and to explore the
associations of cluster environment characteristics with drug use among
agriculture-related workers in Thailand.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study involving 2936
agriculture-related workers from 10 clusters in 4 regions throughout
Thailand. Trained interviewers conducted semi-structured interviews.
Additionally, the drug-use patterns and behaviors of 124 current users were
structurally observed. A multilevel binary logistic regression model was
used to estimate the effects of the cluster environment on drug use.
Results: The annual prevalence was 58.73%. Illicit drugs, non-prescription
drugs, or over the counter medicines were widely used. Age, sex, and
non-prescription behavior were associated with substance use that was
statistically significant. Contextual clustering was found to significantly
affect drug use among agriculture-related workers. A 1-unit increase in
treatment rate predicted 12.7-times higher illicit drug use and 15.3-times
higher methamphetamine use.
Conclusions: Agricultural work facilitated the spread of drug use The
design of the surveillance system should be considered |
