The purpose of this study was to exam the substance abuse behavior and variables affecting substance abuse behavior among junior high school students, including psychosocial and family factors. The participants chosen by cluster sampling method were 5956 junior high school students who were asked to respond to a self-reported questionnaire. The major findings of this study were as follows: 1. 11.3% of junior high school students smoked cigarettes at least one or two times a month. There were significant differences in gender and grades. The proportion of smoking cigarettes at least once or twice a month among male and female students were 14.5% and 8.0%, while the proportion among the 7th, 8th and 9th graders were separately 9.4%, 10.9% and 13.9%. 2. 0.5% of junior high school students used amphetamines at least one or two times a month. There were no significant differences in gender and grades. The proportion of using amphetamines at least once or twice a month among male and female students were 0.5% and 0.4%, while the proportion among the 7th, 8th and 9th graders were separately 0.6%, 0.5% and 0.4%. 3. Students with stronger deviant self-image, more tolerance of deviance, better peer relation, more tolerance of peer pressure, more parental nurturance, less parental monitoring, less family adjustment were likely to have higher drinking behavior. 4. Students with stronger deviant self-image, more tolerance of deviance, better peer relation, more tolerance of peer pressure, less parental monitoring were likely to have higher smoking cigarettes. 5. Students with more tolerance of deviance, less parental monitoring were likely to have higher amphetamines use. 6. The factors are not the same for affecting substance abuse behavior of junior high school students. |
