Coping Skills and the Self-Efficacy of Substance-Using Women Versus Non-Substance-Using Women
Researchers purport that self-efficacy is critical for behavioral change. The theory of self-efficacy explains when an individual is able to attain awareness, lifestyle changes can occur and efforts to maintain self-efficacy are enhanced. The coping skills and self-efficacy of substance-using women versus nonusing women under social pressure were investigated. Research indicated that self-efficacy is a crucial component in changing behaviors. A s…
Substance Abuse and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder in War Veterans
Little research has been done on the effects of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and its link to alcohol and substance use among combat veterans. In 1983, a congressional mandate ordered a study of PTSD and other postwar psychological problems among Vietnam veterans. Many veterans do not recognize the symptoms of PTSD and therefore are unaware that the symptoms have led to alcohol and substance use. A questionnaire was designed to examine vet…
The Cultural Influence of Adolescent Prescription Drug Abuse
A disproportionate number of adolescents are abusing prescription medications at alarming rates. Although the Monitoring the Future Study of 2013 is showing a slow decline in prescription drug use among adolescents who abuse these substances, the future is bleak for youth who are still engaging in this self-destructive behavior. Many parents are completely naïve and oblivious about their adolescents' prescription drug use. Medications, stored in …
Life Stressors and Substance Abuse in African American Adolescents Residing in a Public Housing Community
An investigation of adolescent life stressors and substance abuse was conducted. Several variables have been linked to the onset of illicit drug-taking behaviors. Current propositions conclude that peer pressure, curiosity, drug availability, sociability, boredom, frustration, and low socioeconomic status are culprits in substance abuse. However, little-to-no attention was given to adolescent life stressors as a contributing factor to the onset o…
Children of Substance-Abusing or Substance-Dependent Parents
Children of substance abusing or dependent parents are suffering a tremendous hardship. According to the Office of Applied Studies, an estimated 6 million children live with a parent who abuses alcohol or other drugs. These children are being removed from their natural home environments at alarming rates. Of the 80% of the children within the child welfare system because of a substance abusing or substance dependent parent, an estimated 50% are r…
The Sexual Victimization of Women
The sexual victimization of women has lifelong effects that can manifest in the forms of substance abuse, the human immunodeficiency virus, prostitution, intimate partner abuse, and an array of psychological disorders. An examination of the correlates of sexual assault revealed that the victims of this crime are in need of therapeutic interventions to alleviate or eradicate the symptoms associated with the posttraumatic stress disorder, depressio…
Adolescent Depression as a Contributing Factor to the Development of Substance Use Disorders
An exploratory investigation of the variables linking adolescent substance abuse and depression was conducted using the "grounded theory" qualitative research approach. A convenience sample was drawn from African American adolescents, aged 12 to 18 years, who reside in a public housing community in Baltimore, Maryland. The results revealed approximately 5% of the sample openly admitted to using drugs because they are sad, feel like a failure, lac…
Predictors and Protective Factors in the Prevention and Treatment of Adolescent Substance Use Disorders
Contemporary adolescents are at a higher risk for developing a substance use disorder. Risk factors serve as predictors for identifying youths at the greatest risk for developing these disorders. Protective factors serve to protect adolescents from developing the substance use disorders. First-time drug use can be prevented through the "model program" modalities implemented through prevention research. However, when youths fall through the cracks…
Barriers to Treatment for Women With Substance Use Disorders
Substance-dependent women are facing tremendous barriers that impede them from entering into treatment programs. Such barriers include the lack of childcare, fear of stigma, lack of family or financial support, denial, and the co-occurring disorders. Strategies are paramount to the removal of these barriers, whereas treatment and relapse prevention aid in the rehabilitation process
