[Etno-territorial prevalence of hashishism in some Siberian areas].
OBJECTIVE
To analyze the prevalence of cannabinoid dependence (hashishism) in the Siberian region in the etno-territorial context.


METHODS
Based on the statistical results, we analyzed the dynamics of prevalence of hashish addiction in some Siberian territories in 1999-2006.


RESULTS
The dynamics of the indicators studied differ significantly, with some differences being in opposite directions. The following variants of these changes (trends) were specified: linear, logarithmic, polynominal and a trend that reflected the degree of changes (degree trend). Territories attributed to the linear variant are characterized by the relatively lower prevalence of hashishism, accelerated or slowed down changes are noted for the logarithmic variant, the instability of indicators is characteristic of the polynomial variant and the high degree of the prevalence of cannabinoid dependence is the main feature of the "degree trend".


CONCLUSIONS
Despite the differences between territories, the number of registered patients in whole is an equipotential variable, typical for a distinct territory, without any trend toward the dramatic changes.
