Abstract

Objective(s): To determine the prevalence of ECSTASY use and high risk behaviors among COLLEGE STUDENTS in Guilan; Iran.Methods: We conducted a cross sectional study of a representative sample drawn from COLLEGE STUDENTS (3958 STUDENTS) of Guilan in 2005. The questionnaire was adapted from a number of the questionnaires used in the United States and the European countries. Data were analyzed performing c2 test and logistic regression.Results: Out of 3958 STUDENTS, 3700 STUDENTS (93.5%) responded, 1966 STUDENTS from private COLLEGEs and 1734 STUDENTS from state universities. The mean age of student was 224.2±3.5 years (ranging from 18 to 46 years); and 49% were male. The life-time prevalence of ECSTASY use was 4.2% (157 STUDENTS). ECSTASY use was significantly associated with gender, other substances us, cigarette smoking, participation in friendly parties, sharing home with friends, alcohol consumption, type of university , educational level of family, family situation and history of educational abruption in last years (c2 test , p<0.0001) but not with age and university courses. However, logistic regression analysis indicated that the factors influencing ECSTASY use were use of other drugs, alcohol and cigarette smoking (P<0.0001).Conclusion: ECSTASY use appears to be a serious problem in COLLEGE STUDENTS. Whatever the causes behind the rise in ECSTASY use, personalized and informative educational programs should be conducted in all COLLEGEs.
