“…Substance use disorders (SUDs) affect approximately 15% of individuals age 12 and older (Ahrnsbrak et al, 2017). Risky substance use is associated with immediate and long-term consequences to the individual and the larger community, including physical and mental health challenges, decreased academic performance, relationship problems, crime, and lost wages (Arria et al, 2013; Gryczynski et al, 2016; Henkel, 2011; Hingson, Zha, & Weitzman, 2009; Juibari et al, 2018). The financial toll associated with substance abuse is approximately $400 billion annually in the US (National Drug Intelligence Center, 2011; Sacks, Gonzales, Bouchery, Tomedi, & Brewer, 2015).…”

A systematic review of gene-by-intervention studies of alcohol and other substance use

Alcohol and other substance use problems are common, and the efficacy of current prevention and intervention programs is limited. Genetics may contribute to differential effectiveness of psychosocial prevention and intervention programs. This paper reviews gene-by-intervention (G×I) studies of alcohol and other substance use, and implications for integrating genetics into prevention science. Systematic review yielded 17 studies for inclusion. Most studies focused on youth substance prevention, alcohol was the most common outcome, and measures of genotype were heterogeneous. All studies reported at least one significant G×I interaction. We discuss these findings in the context of the history and current state of genetics, and provide recommendations for future G×I research. These include the integration of genome-wide polygenic scores into prevention studies, broad outcome measurement, recruitment of underrepresented populations, testing mediators of G×I effects, and addressing ethical implications. Integrating genetic research into prevention science, and training researchers to work fluidly across these fields, will enhance our ability to determine the best intervention for each individual across development. With growing public interest in obtaining personalized genetic information, we anticipate that the integration of genetics and prevention science will become increasingly important as we move into the era of precision medicine.

“…Furthermore, a substantial body of literature discerned the susceptibility to depression among women living with substance-dependent husbands. [11][12][13][14]30 These studies agreed that the women who face the issue of a husband's substance misuse are prone to suffering from depression. Besides, the prevalence of depression and anxiety levels is clearly found higher in wives of substance abusers compared to the control group of wives of non-substance abusers.…”

“…The issue of the head of the family having a drug addiction not only impacts the user but in fact also influences the rest of the family members pertaining to various stressors. A number of authors have recognized various damaging effects of drug addiction on the partners including psychiatric disorders, [10][11][12][13][14] economic hardship, 15 emotional distress, 15 and parenting difficulties. 16 Based on these previous findings, the wife is viewed as the most affected figure in the family due to the drug addiction issue of their spouses as supported by Refs.…”

Parental stress and depression symptoms among B40 wives of drug addicts in Malaysia: Resilience as a mediator

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: The prevalence of depression is higher among women in the general population. While previous studies have contributed to demonstrating a higher risk of depression among women, there is a scarcity of studies on depression issues among women who experienced life as a spouse to drug addicts. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the association between parental stress faced in raising children and depression. Moreover, the study intended to examine the impact of parental stress on depression as mediated by resilience. Methods: Using the purposive sampling method, a total of 132 B40 wives of drug addicts were chosen to participate in this study. Data were collected from six states in Malaysia using a structured questionnaire consisting of the Parental Stress Scale (PSS), Brief Resilience Scale (BRS), and Zung’s Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS). SmartPLS software version 3.3.7 was used to analyze the data collected. Results: Path analysis revealed that parental stress was significantly associated with depression through resilience. Specifically, the indirect effect highlighted that resilience was a partial mediator in the association between parental stress and depression. Nevertheless, it is also shown that even after accounting for the mediating role of resilience, parental stress still has a positive impact on depression. Conclusions: The present study proffers additional strategies to drug addicts’ wives, advocates, academicians, practitioners, and policymakers to approach depression issues in this community for better well-being.

“…Risky behaviors and their negative consequences affect adolescents' health and can cause major threats to life (6). Drug abuse by adolescents imposes major costs, as well as social, psychological, economic, and health burdens on society (7,8). Several studies have reported that at least in the first experience, the decision for drug abuse is affected by individuals' attitudes towards drugs.…”

Background: Drug abuse and its destructive consequences are among challenging issues concerning students’ health. Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the relationship of social adjustment and resilience with attitude towards drugs in boy and girl students of Lali City. Methods: The study was a descriptive correlational study performed by path analysis. The study population included 1500 boy and girl high school students of Lali City in the academic year of 2017 - 2018, among whom 133 boys and 142 girls were selected through multistage stratified sampling and using Cochran’s formula. Research instruments included Bell’s Adjustment Inventory (BAI) for Students, the Connor-Davidson Resilience scale (CD-RISC), and the Drug Attitude scale (DAS). The collected data were analyzed using SPSS version 23. Results: The results revealed a significant negative relationship between social adjustment and girl students’ attitudes towards drugs (P < 0.001); however, there was no significant relationship between social adjustment and attitudes towards drugs in boy students. Meanwhile, there was no direct and significant relationship between resilience and attitudes towards drugs in boy and girl students. On the other hand, a significant positive relationship was observed between resilience and social adjustment in boys (P < 0.01) and girls (P < 0.05). The indirect impact of resilience on the students’ attitudes towards drugs, mediated by social adjustment, was not significant. Conclusions: Resilience reduces stress, and as a result, students with more resilience seem to have better coping skills, higher social adjustment, and negative attitudes towards drugs.
