“…Limited research has assessed the relationship between school experiences and pain reliever misuse among high school students nationwide. Much of the literature has focused on other potential risk factors such as peer norms, childhood trauma, and socioeconomic influences on pain reliever misuse (Ford, Sacra, & Yohros, 2017;Oluwoye, Merianos, & Nabors, 2017;Quinn et al, 2016;Quinn et al, 2019). Thus, assessing school-related risk factors may be beneficial for guiding future improvements in school-based substance use programs.…”

A recent public health concern is the nonmedical use of prescription drugs among U.S. adolescents. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between negative school experiences and lifetime and past year pain reliever misuse among adolescents enrolled in high school nationwide. A secondary analysis was performed using the National Survey on Drug Use and Health 2017 data. Participants included 8,337 adolescents enrolled in 9 th-12 th grades. A total of 6.0% of high school students reported they had misused pain relievers in their lifetime, and 3.9% reported they had misused pain relievers during the past year. High school students who reported the following negative school experiences were at increased odds of reporting lifetime pain reliever misuse: liked/hated going to school (adjusted OR [aOR] = 2.04, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.66-2.50); felt their coursework was somewhat/very boring (aOR = 1.81, 95%CI = 1.48-2.22), seldom/never meaningful (aOR = 2.01, 95%CI = 1.64-2.45), and/or would be somewhat/very unimportant to them later in life (aOR = 1.64, 95%CI = 1.33-2.01); and had teachers who seldom/never let them know they were doing a good job (aOR = 1.71, 95%CI = 1.40-2.09). High school students who had a "D" grade average or lower (aOR = 2.69, 95%CI = 1.89-3.82) and skipped school on at least one day (aOR = 2.18, 95%CI = 1.76-2.70) were more likely to report lifetime use. Similar significant findings were reported between negative school experiences and past year pain reliever misuse. Negative school experiences are risk factors for lifetime and past year pain reliever misuse among U.S. adolescents. Programming that reduces students' negative school experiences may create a positive environment, and in turn, reduce misuse.

“…A history of witnessing violence, experiencing a natural disaster, or a lifetime history of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) were associated with an increased likelihood of NMUPD (Lowe, Sampson, Young, & Galea, 2017; McCauley et al, 2010; Quinn et al, 2016), particularly with the increased non-medical use (NMU) of opiates (Smith, Smith, Cercone, McKee, & Homish, 2016). …”

Background: Non-medical use of prescription drugs (NMUPD) is an increasing phenomenon associated with physical and psychological consequences. This study investigated the effects of distinct forms of stress on NMUPD.Methods: Data from 5308 young adult men from the Swiss cohort study on substance use risk factors (C-SURF) were analysed regarding NMUPD of sleeping pills, tranquilizers, opioid analgesics, psychostimulants, and antidepressants. Various forms of stress (discrete, potentially traumatic events, recent and long-lasting social-environmental stressors) during the period preceding the NMUPD assessment were measured. Backward log-binomial regression was performed and risk ratios (RR) were calculated.Results: NMUPD was significantly associated with the cumulative number of potentially traumatic events (e.g. for opioid analgesics, RR = 1.92, p < .001), with problems within the family (e.g. for sleeping pills, RR = 2.45, p < .001), and the peer group (e.g. for tranquilizer use, RR = 2.34, p < .01). Factors describing family functioning in childhood showed very few significant associations. Sexual assault by acquaintances was associated only with use of sleeping pills (RR = 2.91, p p <.01); physical assault by acquaintances was not associated with NMUPD. Physical (e.g. for psychostimulants, RR = 2.01, p < .001) or sexual assaults (e.g. for antidepressants, RR = 4.64, p < .001) perpetrated outside the family context did show associations with several drug categories.Conclusion: NMUPD appears to be more consistently associated with discrete and potentially traumatic events and with recent social-environmental stressors than with long-lasting stressors due to family functioning during childhood and youth. Physical and sexual assaults perpetrated by strangers showed more associations with NMUPD than those perpetrated by a family member.

“…ACEs are the main factors in the tendency toward addiction (Quinn et al, 2016). Retrospective self-report data have shown that ACEs are key factors in the etiology of illegal drugs abuse (Anda et al, 2006) and can be responsible for half to two-thirds of problems related to the substance abuse in adulthood (Dube et al, 2003).…”

“…For example, one study in 2016 showed a clear relationship between the number of childhood traumatic experiences and an increase in the risk of substance abuse in adulthood. People who reported five or more ACEs were exposed to substance abuse, and their likelihood of using injective drugs was three times more than normal people (Quinn et al, 2016). Another study indicates that above 80% of patients that were searching for a treatment of drug abuse, experienced at least one type of childhood traumas and two-thirds of them had witnessed violence in childhood (Tsavoussis, Stawicki, Stoicea, & Papadimos, 2014).…”

This research aimed to predict suicidality and addiction (substance, alcohol, cigarette, psychoactive drugs) among university students based on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and exposure to the suicide of family members and or friends. Methods: The research method was cross-sectional. The statistical community included all students of the University of Mohaghegh Ardabili, Ardabil City, Iran, in 2018. A sample of 500 people was selected through convenience sampling method. The obtained data were analyzed by descriptive statistics indices, the Pearson correlation, and regression analysis in SPSS V. 23. The study measures included depressive symptom-suicidality subscale, adverse childhood experiences, substance, alcohol, cigarette, psychoactive drugs abuse, and exposure to suicidal behavior. Results: The findings show a significant correlation between ACEs and suicide, substance, alcohol, cigarette, psychoactive drugs abuse. In addition, there was a significant correlation between the person's suicide and exposure to the suicide of a friend and or a family member. Exposure to friends' suicide had a significant correlation with substance, alcohol, cigarette, and psychoactive drugs abuses, but there was no significant correlation between exposure to family members' suicide and addictions. Moreover, in the predicting variables, findings showed that ACEs can predict both suicide (r=0.322) and addictions; cigarette smoking (r=0.244), alcohol consumption (r=0.216), substance abuse (r=0.180) and street drugs (r=0.172). However, exposure to friends' and family members' suicide did not have this predicting power. Conclusion: Adverse childhood experiences play an important part in suicidality and addiction, and we should prevent these experiences by working on the family.
