Parents should be informed and educated to avoid family conflict during childhood, maintain consistent supervision of their children's behavior, provide adequate family support, and pay attention to their children's interpersonal relationships in school. According to the time-dependent models, a high degree of parental supervision, a high degree of family support and a low degree of family conflict in the current year can protect children and adolescents from drug use, whereas a sustained low degree of parental supervision and a high degree of family conflict may promote students' experimental drug use.Conclusion On average, a low degree of parental supervision and a high degree of family conflict were both influential risk factors. A low degree of self-perceived likeability in childhood was a risk factor influencing experimental drug use. Boys were more likely to use drugs than girls. The incidence increased over time and was the highest in the first year of university (19.3‰). A survival analysis was used to analyze the time-invarying/time-dependent effects of social attachment factors on experimental drug use.ResultsThe mean annual incidence rate of experimental drug use from childhood to adolescence was 6.8‰. In total, 1,106 respondents aged 19–20-year-old were followed up for 11 years (from 9 to 10-year-old) in Taiwan. The data were derived from the 1st to 11th wave of the longitudinal study. We aimed to describe the annual incidence rate and mean annual incidence rate of experimental drug use from childhood to adolescence by education stage, clarify the risk in childhood and examine the longitudinal relationship between social attachment factors and experimental drug use.Materials and Methods Evidence concerning the interpersonal-related factors influencing youngsters' experimental drug use behavior, especially from longitudinal and school-based prospective cohort studies, is insufficient. While school attachment, self-control, and parental monitoring did not differentiate female desisters from female drug users, adolescent boys who desisted from drug use were more likely to report higher levels of school attachment and parental monitoring and their level of self-control was less likely to be low.ĭrug use among adolescents are still crucial issues that endanger their lifetime health. Compared to drug users, desisters associated significantly less with delinquent peers. Both boys and girls who never used drugs tended to be younger, were less likely to have delinquent friends and a lower level of self-control, had stronger bonds to school, but lower levels of family attachment, and reported increased parental supervision. When controlling for the variables included in the analysis, AI boys were significantly more likely than AI girls to desist from drug use. Half of the AI adolescents reported lifetime drug use (50.40%), 37.50% never used drugs, and 12.10% stopped using drugs. It is based on a gender-balanced sample (N = 3,380) of AI adolescents (50.50% male Mean age = 14.75 SD = 1.69) representing the major AI languages and cultural groups in the U.S. This secondary analysis is based on data from a multi-site study conducted between 20.
Informed by the social control theoretical perspective, this study intends to identify the factors more likely to differentiate American Indian (AI) adolescents who never used illicit drugs (abstainers) and those who used drugs in the past but did not report recent drug usage (desisters) from their peers who reported lifetime and recent drug usage (persisters).
