目的:瞭解台灣中部地區緝獲涉嫌毒品案件(非尿液檢品檢驗)檢出濫用藥物之陽性率、毒品級數及其年度別(2011~2017)與縣市別間之差異。方法:本研究採回溯描述性設計;資料來源為藥物鑑驗實驗室「濫用藥物系統」,2011年到2017年間之毒品鑑識案件(約94萬筆資料),共約75,580個樣品。結果:研究結果發現,台灣中部地區四縣市緝獲涉嫌毒品案件之檢出濫用藥物陽性率高達95.4%;緝獲毒品件數陽性率以彰化縣最高。2011到2017年成癮致死性高之一級毒品占率有逐年降低,二三級毒品健康危害之新興占率上升。結論:2011到2017年間四縣市毒品濫用陽性率之差距已逐年變小且吸食毒品由過去以單一成分為主,自2012年下半年起混合毒品急速增加(6.8%攀升至35%),未來可針對毒品外觀包裝與其毒品級數、摻混毒品數量之情形深入描述。
Objective. To analyze the rates and levels of substance abuse of suspected drug cases between 2011 and 2017 in four counties of central Taiwan. Method. Data were collected from the build-up laboratory drug identification system. Frequency and percentage of descriptive statistics by Microsoft Office Excel 2010 were used to demonstrate the charts and trends of positive rates by counties and years. Results.95.4% of the suspected drug cases were positive. The percentage in Level one drugs of high mortality and addiction were decreasing. In the other hand, level two and three drugs presented an upward trend. In addition, mixed-substances abuse has become more popular since 2012. Conclusion.
