Download or read book Drug Use and Ethnicity in Early Adolescence written by William A. Vega and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-04-11 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents new and important information about adolescent drug use. The book is intended for human service professionals, teachers, researchers, and students interested in the issue of early adolescent drug use and its causes and pervasiveness in a multiethnic population. Today, the field of adolescent drug use research relies on integrative models that permit competing explanations of drug use. This approach promotes flexibility in testing hypotheses pertinent to adol- cents of very different social and cultural backgrounds or personal characteristics. Longitudinal studies, including the one presented in these pages, have identified many risk and protective factors or processes that are linked to adolescent drug use. We review these throughout this book and present new information from our own research. Our point of departure is to extend and elaborate descriptive research and models of adolescent drug research to cover the unique and diverse experiences of adolescents who are Hispanic, African American, and White non-Hispanic.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study is to assess the relationship between self-esteem, risk taking behavior and parental-involvement on early adolescent drug use. The hypothesis underlying the study is that adolescents with low self-esteem were more likely to start smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol. Secondly, those who are higher risk takers are more likely to use alcohol and cigarettes. Finally, the level of parental involvement will determine the amount of risk-taking and self-esteem a child has. The data came from a secondary data analysis from Monitoring the Future: A Continuing Study-of American Youth, conducted by Lloyd D. Johnston, Jerald G. Bachman, Patrick O'Malley, and John Schulenberg, in 1998. In this continuing study, eighth and tenth graders from around the country were administered a survey that asked about a wide range of behaviors. In this analysis, I utilized data from the eighth grade survey. The main hypotheses were supported. Low self-esteem causes an increase in alcohol and cigarette use among adolescents. High risk-taking is associated with more alcohol and cigarette use. Parental-Involvement was associated with self-esteem, which indicates that low parental involvement leads to lower self-esteem. This paper serves to help educators look at drug, alcohol, and cigarette use in adolescents not as a gender or race specific behavior but an individual behavior that stems partly from the way the individual feels about himself or herself, and from their home environment.
Download or read book The Etiology and Prevention of Drug Abuse Among Minority Youth written by Steven Schinke and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-19 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1992, marijuana use among 8th graders has tripled, among 10th graders it has nearly doubled, and its use among high school seniors has increased by 50 percent. The use of other illicit drugs is also heavily on the rise. Yet, there exists very little research and literature on the etiology and prevention of drug abuse among those most at risk--disadvantaged, inner-city, minority youth. The Etiology and Prevention of Drug Abuse Among Minority Youth is an important first step in remedying this gap in the literature and for getting at the heart of the psychosocial factors that promote and sustain drug use among minority youth. The book’s chapters evolved from a program of research funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse and Cornell University Medical College’s Institute for Prevention Research concerning drug abuse prevention with multi-ethnic youth. So that you might learn effective strategies for intervening with at-risk adolescents and teenagers, The Etiology and Prevention of Drug Abuse Among Minority Youth discusses: correlates and predictors of alcohol and drug use community-based skills interventions how youths offset feelings of distress or self-derogation by bonding with deviant peers the advantages of community-oriented outreach programs the role of cultural factors as they shape vulnerability to adolescent alcohol and drug use the role of ethnic identity as a moderator of psychosocial risk for alcohol and marijuana use the needs of youth at high risk for future use preventing gateway drug use drug use among youth living in homeless shelters the conditions of public housing and how they affect the etiology of drug abuse An essential tool for policymakers, social workers, clinicians, researchers, psychiatrists, and other professionals in chemical dependency and narcotics rehabilitation, The Etiology and Prevention of Drug Abuse Among Minority Youth provides you with vital insight on the causes of drug use among minority adolescents, the strengths and limitations of different intervention approaches, and incentive to find appropriate ways for working with at-risk, minority teenagers.

Download or read book Self Medication and Violent Behavior written by Michael K. Ostrowsky and published by LFB Scholarly Publishing. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ostrowsky identifies the causes and consequences of alcohol and marijuana use among adolescents. Edward Khantzian's self-medication hypothesis provides the theoretical framework. However, using longitudinal data from the Rochester Youth Development Study, Ostrowsky extends Khantzian's perspective and also moves beyond previous tests of the hypothesis. Overall, the results provide little support to the five predictions of the self-medication hypothesis, but a few interesting findings did emerge. In terms of drug use, weak school commitment predicts an increase in alcohol use and weak parental attachment predicts an increase in marijuana use among early and late adolescent girls. In terms of violence, high self-esteem was found to increase violent behavior among late adolescent girls, contrary to expectation.
Download or read book Substance Use and Delinquent Behavior Among Serious Adolescent Offenders written by Edward P. Mulvey and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2011-05 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study followed 1,300 serious juvenile offenders for 7 years after their conviction. Here are the key findings: (1) Chronic offenders are much more likely than other juvenile offenders to be substance users and to qualify as having substance use (SU) disorders. SU and offending at one age is a consistent predictor of continued serious offending at a later age; (2) Dispositional factors (e.g., sensation seeking, behavioral disinhibition, poor affect regulation, stress, depression) can lead to ¿externalizing¿ behaviors such as SU and criminal activity; (3) SU and serious offending fluctuate in similar patterns over time, suggesting a reciprocal or sequential relationship; (4) SU and serious offending decrease in late adolescence.

Download or read book Teen Substance Use Mental Health and Body Image written by Ian Macdonald and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2019-06-21 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This practical resource looks at the relationship between mental illness and substance use disorders in young people. While studies show the link between the two, drug use is often mistakenly viewed as 'deviant' behaviour rather than as a coping mechanism for unmet needs. This book offers schools and youth settings a different approach to both supporting young people and implementing preventative measures. The concept of risk taking in young people is explored, as well as how stress, low self-esteem and body image issues can lead to substance use, including performance enhancing drugs and high caffeine drinks. Examples of how to address these issues through PSHE are addressed in each chapter, as well as tips for supporting individual pupils from expert practitioners and researchers in the field.
