Substance abuse definition and contributing factors for young people.
Substance abuse refers to the harmful or hazardous use of psychoactive substances, including alcohol and illicit drugs, that lead to dependence and addiction.
Two factors contributing to young people abusing substances are weak family bonds and school connections, which make adolescents less likely to conform to norms and more prone to using drugs and engaging in deviant behavior.
Another contributing factor to substance abuse in adolescents is the challenges of acculturation and adopting 'Americanized' activities, putting them at an increased risk of substance abuse.
