청소년의 약물태도에 영향을 미치는 위험요인에 관한 연구

Abstract

Adolescence is a period between childhood and adulthood, in which an individual biologically, psychologically, and socially goes through dramatic change, and matures drastically. Also, during this period a person reaches his fully matured personality, and gets ready for his part as a social individual. Due to these changes, adolescents go through a period of disobedience or of feeling lost, which leads to drug abuse or delinquency. This research is to establish the importance of the influence of high-risk factors on the attitude towards adolescents' drug abuse, and analyze how these factors influence the attitude towards adolescents' drug abuse. First, out of all the participants, only 328 persons (61.31%) were in the high-risk group, and those who have been educated about the drug abuse prevention program were only 272 persons (51.13%). When we selected risk factors of adolescents' drug abuse from each part that was used in the screening inspection for the high-risk group, all 6 factors showed significant results. Second, drugs were mostly used for treatment, and cold medicine and painkiller were the most commonly used drugs. However, since adolescents could easily buy drugs, there are some concerns that they might overuse drugs, because of stress or curiosity. Third, the subject's attitude towards drugs was affected by the person's academic abili-ty, health, and the risk factors that were used to sort the high-risk group.
