摘要

目前國內對於非法性藥物濫用之研究大多以生物醫學或流行病學觀點。探討非法性藥物濫用行為對人體生理及心理的傷害及其危險因子，雖然這些研究提出了許多防制方法，但禁者恆禁、用者恆用，政策成效有限。我們不禁要問是否有其他吸引使用者的因素，促使濫用者不顧生理、心理的健康繼續使用？經濟學供需的理論是我們思考的方向之一，不過就我們所知國內以經濟學觀點探討非法性藥物之研究甚少。本文之目的擬以文獻回顧方式，由供給面與需求面角度詮釋非法性藥物濫用行為及其危險因子，並提出防制策略建議。長久以來各國政府對於防制非法性藥物濫用，大都採取以供給面為主之管制政策，花費龐大但政策效果不彰，未來在擬訂藥物濫用防制借施時應加入需求面的理念，以使防制成果更有成效。

Most previous studies of illicit drug abuse are based on medical or epidemiological approaches, discussing health impacts and health risk factors. Although many control measures have been applied, the prevalence of illicit drug abusers is still increasing. There may be Some unknown factors to trigger the desire of illicit drug abuse. In order to curb the use of illicit drugs, an economic approach may be more effective. Unfortunately, very few studies have been done in this field. The objective of this paper was to review the behavior and risk factors of illicit drug abuse from the view of supply and demand, and highlight some recommendations of control measures. The government's exclusive focus on supply side policy has been costly and generally ineffective in the past. In order to improve effectiveness of illicit drug abuse control, the control strategies should consider toward demand side.
