Background: Both depression and hopelessness have been found to be closely related to suicide risk among adolescents and adults. Substance abuse has also been found to play a role in the suicide process with adults, but it is still unclear how much substance abuse influences suicide in adolescents. Method: The present study examined the relationship between substance abuse, emotional distress, and suicidal intent among 115 adolescent psychiatric inpatients who had attempted suicide.

Abstract:

Substance abuse, especially among adolescents, has long been an important issue in society. In light of the adverse impact of substance abuse, scholars, educators, and policy-makers have proposed different approaches to prevent and reduce such abuse. This paper investigates the effectiveness of the two prominent approaches—educational and deterrent—in preventing and reducing adolescent substance abuse. The educational approach (e.g., school-based prevention programming) tends to be more comprehensive and better grounded in theories than the deterrent approach (e.g., drug testing). The educatio

Adolescence is the transitional period between childhood and adulthood and a critical period in brain development. Adolescence in humans is also associated with increased expression of risk-taking behaviors. Epidemiological and clinical studies, for example, show a surge of drug abuse and raise the hypothesis that the adolescent brain undergoes critical changes resulting in diminished control. Determining how substance abuse during this critical period might cause longterm neurobiological changes in cognition and behavior is therefore critically important.

Abstract:

This study explores an adolescent ambassador program that promotes substance abuse awareness in rural villages, and studies its effects on self-esteem, peer influence, and family communication. This school-based intervention was part of a larger program that mentored adolescent youth as change agents to promote health and social awareness in rural communities in India, in alignment with UN Sustainable Development Goal 3 (good health and wellbeing). One hundred and forty-three ambassadors between 8 and 18 years of age, representing rural communities in 23 economically challenged villages across

Abstract:

Data from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reveal high numbers of adolescent substance use in the United States. Substance use among adolescents can lead to increased risk of transmission of sexually transmitted infections, vehicular fatalities, juvenile delinquency, and other problems associated with physical and mental health. Adolescents are particularly susceptible to involvement in substance use due to the underdeveloped state of the adolescent brain, which can lead to reduced decision-making ability and increased long-te

Abstract:

This study examined relationships between adolescent neglect and abuse and later health risk in a sample of 1050 youth (53% female, 56% Black, and 24% White) from the Longitudinal Studies of Child Abuse and Neglect. At age 16, the youth reported any adolescent exposure to neglect and physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. At age 18, they reported risk behaviors (delinquency, substance use, and sexual behavior) and emotional and behavioral problems (externalizing and internalizing problems, suicidality). Control variables were childhood maltreatment (self-reports and early childhood child prote

Abstract:

Substance abuse among adolescents is a significant concern today. Alcohol, as the most accessible addictive substance, is also the most likely to lead to adolescent alcohol consumption and eventually to the development of alcohol addiction. Alcohol addiction in adolescents can have harmful, even long-lasting effects on their psychology and physiology. Previous literatures have examined factors contributing to adolescent alcohol addiction from multiple perspectives. However, there are relatively fewer systematic reviews of family and peer influences on adolescent alcohol abuse. Therefore, this

Abstract:

This comprehensive review evaluates the impact of early intervention programs on substance abuse prevention in adolescents, a critical demographic at high risk for developing substance use disorders. The review synthesizes findings from a wide range of studies, focusing on the effectiveness of various early intervention strategies, including school-based programs, family-centered approaches, and community initiatives. Emphasis is placed on understanding how these programs influence key risk and protective factors, such as peer influence, family dynamics, and mental health. The review highlight

Abstract:

The Ministries of Justice and Education have implemented adolescent substance abuse prevention programs for many years. Rates of substance abuse among high school students continue to rise in spite of such programs. Drug abuses affect the entire society irrespective of their age group. As alcohol is the drug of choice of youth, underage drinking becomes a leading public problem in India.

Abstract:

To explore the possibility that peer influences not only contribute to adolescent substance abuse but shape feelings about being in treatment for substance abuse, forty adolescent inpatients were surveyed. Misconduct, including substance abuse, was predicted best by perceived peer pressure toward misconduct, low opinions of the value of treatment by disposition to conform to antisocial peers, and sense of stigma associated with being treated by perceived peer pressure toward conformity. Concerns over peer acceptance may be one basis for resistance to substance abuse treatment.
