“…A more recent study also found that childhood physical abuse was associated with ever smoking among both males and females 48 . Anda et al 49 suggest that smokers use nicotine's psychoactive effects to cope with the negative emotional, neurobiological and social effects of adverse experiences. They also note that individuals with adverse childhood experiences suffer from problems with affection, socialization and self-esteem.…”

“…They also note that individuals with adverse childhood experiences suffer from problems with affection, socialization and self-esteem. These problems may increase their susceptibility to peer pressure and tobacco marketing 49,50 .

“…It was also associated with parental separation/divorce, exposure to a battered mother and incarcerated household members. 35 A longitudinal study of 1,000 grade six to grade 12 students in Massachusetts found that a risk factor index consisting of such variables as g rade-point average, low self-esteem, life dissatisfaction, heavy alcohol use, time spent with parents, and college plans had a signif icant association with concurrent smoking. Other studies have documented the association of smoking among children and adolescents with parental education, 36 parental and sibling smoking, 37 type of school 38 and depressive symptoms.…”

Why is lone‐motherhood so strongly associated with smoking?

Objective: Lone mothers are among the most disadvantaged groups in many countries. Smoking prevalence among this demographic group is considerably higher than the general population. Previous work has shown that only part of this difference can be explained by age, not having a partner, living alone, and socio‐economic factors. This study examined the contribution of mental health, the social environment, and the lifecourse in explaining the effect of lone motherhood on smoking status. Methods: Cross‐sectional data from the 1995 National Health Survey and 2001 National Drug Strategy Survey were used. Smoking was defined as daily smoking. Mental health was assessed using a 14‐item scale from the SF‐36. Proportion of friends who smoke was used as an indicator of the social environment. Age started smoking daily ( 18 and >18) was used as a lifecourse factor. Results: Mental health, proportion of friends who smoke and age of smoking initiation had strong associations with smoking status. However, they accounted for a small part of the association of being a lone mother and a smoker. After controlling for these factors, the odds of being a smoker among lone mothers w ere still twice those of mothers with partners (OR 2.1, 95% CI 1.7–2.7). Conclusions and Implications: Improving the socio‐economic status (SES), mental health and the social environment of lone mothers could help reduce their high smoking prevalence. However, much of the effect of being a lone mother remains even after controlling for these factors. More research is needed to discover why prevalence is so high among this demographic group.

“…However, early initiation of substance use increases risk of poly-substance use, violent behavior, anxiety, depression, suicide ideation, psychotic disorders, poor physical health, poor school performance and criminality, and is an important factor also from the global health perspective (120). Results from the ACE study show that childhood adversities are associated with early initiation of smoking and alcohol (121,122), and that the number of childhood adversities has a strong graded relationship with the risk of drug initiation from early adolescence into adulthood and with problems with drug use, drug addiction and parenteral use (123). Shin et al included 1019 adolescents from public service areas (alcohol and drug treatment, child welfare, juvenile justice, mental health and public school-based mental health) and found that girls who had been victims of sexual abuse were at high risk of developing poly-substance use (124).…”

Printed by NTNU Grafisk senter 1 NORSK SAMMENDRAG Ungdom i risiko: Overgrepserfaringer, psykopatologi og livskvalitet blant ungdom i barnevernsinstitusjonerOvergrep og omsorgssvikt i barndommen er assosiert med en rekke fysiske og psykiske helseplager senere i livet. Å kunne identifisere risikoutsatte befolkningsgrupper er svaert verdifullt med tanke på å kunne forebygge helseplager. Barn og unge i fosterhjem og på barnevernsinstitusjoner har opplevd mer overgrep og omsorgssvikt enn barn og unge i normalbefolkningen, og kan derfor vaere i en høy-risikogruppe for helseproblemer.Hovedmålet med denne studien var å studere om overgrepserfaringer var assosiert med psykiske lidelser og redusert livskvalitet også i en høy-risikogruppe av ungdom bosatt i barnevernsinstitusjoner. Et sekundaert mål var å forsøke å identifisere medierende faktorer som kunne øke kunnskapen om disse assosiasjonene ytterligere.Prosjektet er en del av studien «Psykisk helse hos barn og unge i barnevernsinstitusjoner» som ble gjennomført mellom 2010 og 2015. 400 ungdommer mellom 12 og 20 år bosatt i barnevernsinstitusjoner i Norge ble inkludert, og av disse gjennomførte 335 et semi-strukturert diagnostisk intervju som i tillegg til informasjon om psykiske lidelser også ga informasjon om overgrepserfaringer.En stor andel av ungdommene (71 %) oppga å ha overgrepserfaringer (å ha vaert vitne til vold, å ha vaert utsatt for fysiske eller seksuelle overgrep). I denne gruppa var det høyere forekomst av en rekke psykiske sykdommer sammenlignet med de andre ungdommene i barnevernsinstitusjonene. Det var statistisk signifikant forskjell i forekomst av alvorlig depresjon, dystymi, generalisert angstlidelse, alvorlig atferdsforstyrrelse og autismespekterforstyrrelse mellom de to ungdomsgruppene. I tillegg var det signifikant økt forekomst av tidligere selvmordsforsøk blant ungdommene med overgrepserfaringer. Denne gruppen ungdommer hadde også dårligere livskvalitet enn ungdom i normalbefolkningen i forhold til fysisk og emosjonelt velvaere, selvtillit og i forholdet til venner. Økende antall ulike typer overgrepserfaringer inkludert dysfunksjonelle familieforhold, var assosiert med økt odds for flere av de psykiatriske diagnosene, og for dårligere livskvalitet på alle undersøkte livsområder. Tre potensielle medierende faktorer ble undersøkt: globalt selvbilde, tilknytningsproblemer og bruk av tobakk/rusmidler. Av disse ble det funnet at kun globalt selvbilde hadde medierende effekt både på assosiasjonen mellom overgrepserfaringer og psykopatologi, og overgrepserfaringer og livskvalitet.Unge i barnevernsinstitusjoner hadde opplevd en rekke overgrepserfaringer. Resultatene fra denne studien indikerer at overgrepserfaringer spiller en nøkkelrolle i utviklingen av psykiske lidelser og utviklingen av dårlig livskvalitet blant ungdom i barnevernsinstitusjoner. Global selvfølelse ble identifisert som en mediator, og kan derfor vaere et velegnet angrepspunkt for intervensjon innenfor denne ungdomsgruppa. Studien åpner for muligheten av at tiltak som øker selvbild...
