“…21, 31, 45 -48 Sexual assault in which substance use is involved is likely to be more severe and is associated with assaults by strangers, greater physical injury, greater victimization, and greater likelihood of completed rape. 45 If potential victims' friends are also drinking, they may not notice that an assault is taking place or be able to respond in a way that maximizes safety and minimizes physical and psychological consequences. After a sexual assault, it is important to address how decreasing or avoiding future alcohol and substance use may decrease vulnerability to subsequent incidents.…”

Sexual violence is a broad term that encompasses a wide range of sexual victimizations. Since the American Academy of Pediatrics published its last policy statement on sexual assault in 2008, additional information and data have emerged about sexual violence affecting adolescents and the treatment and management of the adolescent who has been a victim of sexual assault. This report provides new information to update physicians and focuses on the acute assessment and care of adolescent victims who have experienced a recent sexual assault. Follow-up of the acute assault, as well as prevention of sexual assault, are also discussed.

“…5 Substance use is also associated with increased risk of sexual assault, unplanned sexual activity, behavioural problems, pregnancy, and selfharm. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Use of more than one type of substance at the same time (termed polydrug use) is associated with a further increased risk of harm, injury, and overdose. 14 Emerging evidence suggests that the overall incidence of polydrug use and associated drug-related death is increasing; however, Canadian data are limited.…”

Objectives: Goals for this study were to characterize the substances being used by youth who presented to an emergency department (ED), their demographic descriptors, and to describe the associated acute morbidity and mortality. Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of all youth, ages 10-16 years, who presented to a pediatric ED with complaints related to recreational drug use (n = 641) for 2 years ending on December 31, 2009. Results: The median age of patients was 15 years; 56% were female. Six percent of patients were homeless, and 21% were wards of the state. The most frequent ingestions included ethanol (74%), marijuana (20%), ecstasy (19%), and medications (15%). Over one third of patients had ingested two or more substances. Ninety percent of patients were brought to the ED by the emergency medical services; 63% of these activations were by non-acquaintances. Of the 47% of youth who presented with a decreased level of consciousness, half had a Glasgow Coma Scale less than 13. The Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale score was 1 or 2 for 44% of patients. Sixtyeight percent received IV fluids, 42% received medication, and 4% were intubated. The admission rate was 9%. Conclusions: Youth who presented to the ED for substance use represented a socially vulnerable population whose use of recreational substances resulted in high medical acuity and significant morbidity. Improved clinical identification of such high-risk youth and subsequent design of interventions to address problematic substance use and social issues are urgently needed to complement the acute medical care that youth receive. RÉSUMÉObjectifs: L'étude décrite ici avait pour buts de caractériser les drogues utilisées par les jeunes traités dans un service des urgences (SU), de relever les descripteurs démographiques et de décrire la morbidité et la mortalité aiguës, associées à cette utilisation. Méthode: Les auteurs ont procédé à un examen rétrospectif des dossiers médicaux de tous les jeunes âgés de 10 à 16 ans, qui ont été traités dans un service des urgences pédiatriques pour des troubles liés à la consommation de drogues à usage récréatif (n = 641), sur une période de 2 ans, se terminant le 31 décembre 2009. Résultats: L'âge médian était de 15 ans, et 56% des malades étaient de jeunes filles. Dans 6% des cas, il s'agissait de sansabris, et 21% des patients étaient sous la tutelle de l'État. Les drogues le plus souvent consommées étaient l'alcool éthylique (74%), la marijuana (20%), l'ecstasy (19%) et les médicaments (15%). Dans plus du tiers des cas, les personnes avaient fait usage d'au moins deux drogues. Quatre-vingt-dix pour cent des jeunes ont été transportés au SU par les services médicaux d'urgence et, dans 63% des cas, les appels avaient été faits par des inconnus. Parmi les 47% de jeunes souffrant d'une altération de l'état de conscience, la moitié avait une cote inférieure à 13 sur l'échelle de Glasgow. Par ailleurs, 44% des patients ont obtenu une cote de 1 ou 2 sur l'Échelle canadienne de triage et de gravité. Enfin, i...

“…Bu mağdurların diğer mağdurlardan farkı; büyük kent merkezlerinde oluşları, saldırıdan önceki 72 saat içinde ilaç ve alkol almış olmalarıdır [2]. Aşağıda bahsedeceğimiz Ketamine Hydrochloride, Flunitrazepam ve Zolpidem gibi ilaçlar meşrubatlar, su ve alkol gibi diğer bazı içecekler ile birlikte mağdurlara verilebilmekte olup bu amaçla da alkolle birlikte en sıklıkla kullanılan ilaçlardır [8]. Alkolün başlıca etkileri relaksasyon, koordinasyon bozukluğu ve reflexlerde azalmadır [4].…”
