Social support, psychological factors and substance use among early adolescents in Malaysia
description <p>The main objective of this study was to examine the determinants predicting substance</p><p>use among early adolescents in Malaysia. The predictors were social supports (received</p><p>from family, peer and school) and psychological factors (resilience and depression).</p><p>This study used secondary data from the National Anti-Drug Agency (NADA) obtained</p><p>from 2177 secondary school students aged 13 to 14. Data were collected from six main</p><p>zones in Malaysia, which were north (Pulau Pinang and Kedah), middle (Selangor and</p><p>Kuala Lumpur), south (Johor), east (Kelantan), Sabah and Sarawak. The instruments</p><p>used in this study were Adolescent Concern Evaluation, Resiliency Scale and Substance</p><p>Use Questionnaire. The data was analysed using binomial logistic regression analysis</p><p>with an alpha level of .05. Findings showed that the significant predictors to substance</p><p>use activity were social support received from school ( = -.82, Wald = .10, p = .00),</p><p>resilience ( = -.60, Wald = .13, p = .00) and social support received from family</p><p>( = -.55, Wald = .13, p = .00). Thus, the obtained results revealed that a high level of</p><p>resilience, social support received from school and family reduces adolescents' chances</p><p>of getting involved in substance use activity. Findings from this study highlighted the</p><p>importance of resilience, social support received from family and school as the</p><p>protective factors against the involvement in substance use activity. Thus, it can be used</p><p>to assist school management in developing suitable prevention or intervention programs</p><p>to enhance adolescents' resilience in solving their behavioural problems. Future studies</p><p>may investigate the influence of other factors in predicting adolescents' involvement in</p><p>substance use, such as neighbourhood disadvantage, low academic achievement,</p><p>anxiety and low self-esteem.</p>
