Abstract
|
|
|
Adolescent substance abuse is a heterogenous phenomenon in context of encompassing diverse substances patterns, and etiologies. Recently there has been a remarkable resurgence in adolescent substance abuse in Korea. Eevn if majority of adolescents who use substances do not progress to abuse or dependence, earlier adolescent substances use and heavier adolescent substance use are strongly related with greater risk of later drug problems. The etiology of adolescent substance abuse is not involved with a single factor, but multiple etiological pathways including biological factors (genetic, temperament), developmental factors, psychological factors, familial factors, social factor, sexual factors, and individual characteristics. There is no single resilence trait, and risk factors interact with protective factors including
intelligence, problem-solving ability, positive self-esteem, supportive family relationships, and affect reglulation. The
author will review the adolescent substance abuse focusing on multifactorial etiological pathways in terms of developmental view point of adolescence.
