A concurrent embedded mixed-method design was adopted for the study and data were collected with a questionnaire and an interview schedule on drug use behaviors. Results showed that drug abuse prevalence ranged from 3.8% for cocaine to 23.7% for alcohol, with daily addiction levels ranging from 1.3% to 5.0%. Depression, peer pressure, and social/economic hardships cause drug abuse. Drug education and gender influence drug use behavior. Drug abusers possess health, social, legal, and moral knowledges about drug use, with youth drug-abusers redefining responsible use by promoting the notion of “civilized use”. The study concluded that mainstream curricular drug prevention programs have little impact on drug use behavior since its recipients still abuse drugs. Drug education research, policy, and practice implications of the findings were discussed.","PeriodicalId":516611,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Family and Youth / Le Journal Canadien de Famille et de la Jeunesse","volume":"3 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140509660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"A Sibling’s Sense of Self","authors":"Danielle Russell","doi":"10.29173/cjfy29984","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.29173/cjfy29984","url":null,"abstract":"It is commonly viewed that siblings of those with disabilities are positioned as caregivers and tasked to support their sibling with a disability. Family members of those with disabilities are particularly viewed as impacted heavily by the burden of care placed on them. However, truth be told, there are many influential and positive attributes that are acquired by one’s upbringing and living with a family member who has a disability. Typically overlooked by researchers in the field, there are dismissed perceptions of family members that should be accounted for. Further, individuals who have grown up alongside of members of their family with a disability have unique perceptions that influence their self-perceptions and ways of living. This study found that an individual with a sibling with a disability has experienced in childhood up to current time circumstantial practices relative to their family position which influence the way they currently carry and perceive themselves. Further indicated in this study is the importance of family relationships, dynamics and stability in support of the care to the sibling with a disability. Particular qualities and characteristics are highlighted in this study to showcase the intricate yet complex lives of individuals with siblings who have disabilities. Proven is the need for augmented initiatives and enhanced supports to address gaps and needs among individual family members who are related to someone with a disability. The objective of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of how individuals perceive themselves based on their experiences growing up with a family member who identifies as having a disability. The aim was to investigate the perceived experiences of these individuals and their reflections on their personal identities and sense of perception. A total of 10 individuals over the age of 18 who have siblings with disabilities from across Ontario, Canada completed virtual or in-person interviews. To reflect participants' upbringing, current experiences, and anticipated future roles within their families, themes naturally surfaced and were identified as means to represent consistent data responses. In general, the findings revealed a range of experiences that impact their sense of self and family responsibilities. Many unique and positive perceptions of self were conveyed by participants in reference to their lived experiences. This study fills gaps in disability studies by highlighting the positive outcomes of sibling relationships and the unique lived experiences of individuals who have siblings with disabilities. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing an individuals’ experiences and stories relative to having a sibling with a disability. \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":516611,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Family and Youth / Le Journal Canadien de Famille et de la Jeunesse","volume":"42 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140509685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A Spanish sample made up of 100 children, aged between 7 and 18 years, was used. Interparental conflict was the independent variable, and child maladaptation the dependent variable, whereas sibling relationship and parenting style were the mediating variables. Extraversion was controlled as a covariate. Variables were measured through self-report questionnaires. The mediation model was supported. Results showed that more restrictive parental styles and a decrease of positive sibling exchanges were both associated with child maladaptation, which revealed this generalization process. The relation of these results with previous literature and future implications are discussed.","PeriodicalId":516611,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Family and Youth / Le Journal Canadien de Famille et de la Jeunesse","volume":"16 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140509746","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, we describe the action-project method, a qualitative research method for conducting research with particular application to unique and understudied cultural contexts. The method was used to describe the joint processes between parents and adolescents in a Saudi-Arabian sample. It is based on a conceptualization of human behavior as process oriented, systemic phenomena in which context and culture are critical to an integrated understanding of the person. The method uses a longitudinal design involving observations and interviews. The cultural application of this method to the study of transition-to-adulthood processes in Saudi Arabia is addressed, including its cultural appropriateness and the process of adapting and using it in Saudi Arabia. \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":516611,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Family and Youth / Le Journal Canadien de Famille et de la Jeunesse","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140509784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
