This was conducted utilizing a simple random sampling method, recruiting 450 university students (M = 20.26, SD = 1.32). Previous substance use experience was reported by around 40.89%, with alcohol the most used substance (41.11%). Individual parameters of adversity quotient, family connectedness, social support, and gaming addiction were identified as significant predictors of preventive behaviors with a 30.40% explanatory power of the variance, (R2 = 0.304, F (4, 443) = 48.50, p < .001). Results pointed to the need for evidence-based efforts designed to help foster resilience, deepen family connectedness, build social support systems, and increase the risk of gaming addiction. These findings informed evidence-based strategies for nurses, healthcare professionals, community organizations, policymakers, and university administrators to reduce substance use risks and promote healthier behaviors in academic settings.","PeriodicalId":15812,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ethnicity in Substance Abuse","volume":" ","pages":"1-20"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144078256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this study, 224 Baluch male drug users were selected from the city of Zahedan through a convenience sampling method. The data gathering involved the Well-Being Questionnaire (WBQ), the Dyadic Adjustment Scale, and the Life Satisfaction Scale. The findings from the structural equation model (SEM) showed that happiness, optimism, and life satisfaction had a notable direct impact on dyadic adjustment and life satisfaction (p < .05). Satisfaction with life had a notable impact on dyadic adjustment (p < .05). Life satisfaction significantly mediated the connection between happiness and optimism with dyadic adjustment, and it also mediated the relationship between life satisfaction and dyadic adjustment significantly (p < .5). The remaining direct and indirect effects were insignificant. It is determined that life satisfaction, happiness and optimism can influence dyadic adjustment among Baluch men who abuse substance. Consequently, addiction healthcare facilities in Baluchestan, Iran, should focus on the psychological well-being of substance abusers.","PeriodicalId":15812,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ethnicity in Substance Abuse","volume":" ","pages":"1-23"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144021568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A cross-sectional survey was conducted among Historically Black Colleges and Universities students, faculty, and staff. The survey collected data on cannabis use patterns, perceptions of cannabis safety and addiction potential, and opinions on cannabis as a gateway drug. Participants were categorized by ethnicity to identify significant differences in attitudes and beliefs. The study found high cannabis use among Black students compared to other minority groups. Perceptions of cannabis safety varied, with a majority viewing it as safe, but this varied by ethnicity. Most participants agreed that cannabis use is unsafe during pregnancy. The belief that cannabis is addictive was notably high among Black faculty and other minority groups. Additionally, there was strong opposition across all ethnicities to making cannabis accessible to minors. Our study reveals significant ethnic variations in cannabis use and perceptions on campus. Beliefs about cannabis as a gateway drug and its health risks were consistent across ethnicities, as were negative views on cannabis use during pregnancy. These findings highlight the need for culturally sensitive prevention strategies, educational programs, and support services to promote healthier lifestyles and well-being for the diverse campus community.","PeriodicalId":15812,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ethnicity in Substance Abuse","volume":" ","pages":"1-19"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144003584","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While these associations are well established in the literature, a limited number of studies have examined substance use as a pathway for the development of internalizing symptoms following exposure to community violence. Using structural equation modeling (SEM) and a cross-sectional design, the current study aimed to explore whether exposure to community violence was associated with substance use. Then, the current study explored whether substance use mediated the association between exposure to community violence and internalizing symptoms while controlling for gender. The sample consisted of 668 African American adolescents from low-resourced neighborhoods in Chicago's Southside. The sample areas were characterized as racially and socioeconomically homogeneous with an average annual income ranging from $24,049 to $35,946, with the city average being $43,628. Results suggested that exposure to community violence was positively associated with substance use. Substance use also mediated the association between exposure to community violence and internalizing symptoms. That is, following exposure to community violence, African American adolescents were more likely to use substances, which increased their susceptibility to developing internalizing symptoms despite gender differences.","PeriodicalId":15812,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ethnicity in Substance Abuse","volume":" ","pages":"1-20"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144021980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study involved 450 university students from Canada, Russia, and Iran, consisting of 390 women and 60 men. Results of the correlational analysis, revealed that COVID-19 anxiety was positively correlated with loneliness (r = .48, p < .01), anti-mattering (r = .44, p < .01), and fear of not mattering (r = .46, p < .01), and negatively correlated with mattering (r = -0.20, p < .01). Conversely, mattering was negatively correlated with anti-mattering (r = -0.44, p < .01), and fear of not mattering (r = -0.23, p < .01). Regarding mediation analysis, the findings revealed that mattering, anti-mattering, and fear of not mattering mediated the association between COVID-19 anxiety and loneliness among university students. The results of the current study highlight the importance of enhancing individuals' sense of mattering as a protective factor that can reduce the impact of psychological stress and anxiety associated with pandemic and the likelihood of engaging in maladaptive behaviors. This can prevent individuals from engaging in maladaptive behaviors, such as loneliness, addiction, and the use of negative coping strategies to deal with stressful events.","PeriodicalId":15812,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ethnicity in Substance Abuse","volume":" ","pages":"1-18"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144023403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to explore the lived experiences of women who have recovered from drug use, focusing specifically on the role of social capital and recovery capital. Employing Corbin and Strauss's grounded theory (2015), the study involved in-depth interviews with a purposively sampled group of 15 female participants in Tehran who had maintained sobriety for approximately five years and were actively leading stable lives. Data analysis revealed a central concept, three primary themes and six subthemes. Recovery capital in these women's lives encompassed aspects such as positive and negative attitudes, family support, social connections, management of loneliness and social rejection, occupational and financial stability, satisfaction with recovery, peer group affiliations, a sense of belonging, emotional release, and emotion management. The findings indicate that sustainable recovery is most achievable in the presence of strong family support, a non-judgmental work environment, and minimal exposure to blame, humiliation, or social rejection. These protective factors collectively diminish the likelihood of relapse. Participants who were employed and married demonstrated greater recovery capital and social capital, highlighting the role of these social structures in enhancing recovery.","PeriodicalId":15812,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ethnicity in Substance Abuse","volume":" ","pages":"1-18"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144010867","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
