摘要

本研究為了解毒品收容人毒品施用行為之性別差異，特援引高等檢察署委託楊士隆、李志恒、曾淑萍（2019）執行「大麻查獲量增加與大麻施用黑數產生原因之分析及防制對策」研究計畫之部分資料，以當時受試者自陳之毒品施用行為進行次級資料分析。總計調查男性348人、女性326人，針對不同性別之毒品施用者，在各類毒品施用行為及認知方面進行t檢定及卡方（χ^2）檢定考驗其顯著性。研究結果發現，女性毒品濫用種類明顯高於男性，男性及女性對於海洛因依賴程度均為最高。在性別差異檢定方面，研究發現：1.初次施用海洛因、安非他命的年齡有顯著差異，女性年齡低於男性。2.愷他命藥效持續時間有顯著差異，女性認為藥效持續時間高於男性。3.入監前一年施用大麻、愷他命之經驗，男性施用比例顯著高於女性。4.海洛因、安非他命的依賴認知，女性依賴程度顯著高於男性。5.入所（監）前30天施用海洛因、安非他命的天數，女性施用天數顯著多於男性。6.入所（監）前，海洛因、安非他命販賣行為有顯著差異，女性販賣行為高於男性。本研究結果顯現女性毒品施用者對於成癮性較高的毒品類別，濫用情形、依賴程度、使用頻率、販賣行為顯著高於男性，建議政府在毒品防制相關政策上，對於女性使用高成癮性類別毒品之使用者，在醫療戒治、心理、就業輔導上能夠投入更多的資源，讓女性毒品施用者能夠早日復歸社會，遠離毒品誘惑。

Independent-sample t-test and Chi-square test are utilized to explore possible gender differences in drug-using behaviors and cognition of drug inmates. The findings show that the types of drug abuse were significantly higher among female inmates than male inmates, and both groups have the highest dependence on heroin. Additionally, the study obtains the following results: 1. The age of first-time use of heroin and amphetamine is significantly higher among females than in males. 2. Female inmates believe that the duration of ketamine's efficacy is significantly longer than males. 3. There are significantly more male inmates using marijuana and ketamine one year before entering the correctional facilities than females. 4. Female inmates show higher levels of heroin and amphetamine dependence cognition than males. 5. There are significant differences in the days of heroin and amphetamine use before entering the correctional facilities. Female inmates use heroin and amphetamine more days than males. 6. There are significant differences in the times of heroin and amphetamine sales before entering the correctional facilities. Females inmates use heroin and amphetamine more times than males.
