Drug Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena

Drug Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena

Drug dependence, abuse, and addiction are complex phenomena that can precipitate various abnormal states. Physical dependence refers to a state of pharmacological adaptation to a drug. This adaptation often results in tolerance—a reduced response to the drug after repeated administrations. When the drug use is abruptly stopped, withdrawal symptoms occur due to the body's need to readjust from the pharmacologically induced imbalance. However, tolerance and withdrawal symptoms do not necessarily...

Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep

Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep

Substance use disorders involve a pattern of using drugs more extensively than intended and continuing use despite harmful consequences. This includes legal substances like alcohol and nicotine, as well as illegal drugs. These disorders often involve both physical and psychological dependence, reflecting compulsive use of substances that significantly alter thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, contributing to a major public health issue.
Understanding the concepts of physical dependence,...

Drug Dependence

Drug Dependence

Medications are typically administered to achieve therapeutic effects. Some drugs can modify an individual's mood and perception, frequently resulting in various enjoyable experiences. However, this can result in drug dependency, a condition marked by continuous drug use despite potential negative consequences. Drug dependency primarily falls into two categories: psychological and physical dependence. Psychological dependence occurs when the pleasurable feelings induced by the drug...

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about the way you...

Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)

Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) serves as the primary classification system for mental health disorders, providing standardized diagnostic criteria for clinicians and researchers. First published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) in 1952, the DSM has undergone several revisions to reflect evolving psychiatric understanding. The fifth edition, DSM-5, released in 2013, introduced key updates that expanded diagnostic categories and modified diagnostic...

Pharmacodynamic Models: Additive and Proportional Drug Effect Model

Pharmacodynamic Models: Additive and Proportional Drug Effect Model

Drug response models describe how pharmacological agents interact with biological systems to produce measurable effects. Baseline responses are inherent physiological activities without a drug significantly influencing the observed pharmacological outcomes. Depending on the drug response model employed, these baseline responses may combine with the drug's effect in either an additive or proportional manner.Additive Drug Response ModelIn the additive model, the drug effect is independent of the...

Summary

Most Norwegian adolescents gamble, with 3.1% experiencing problem gambling. Higher gambling frequency and spending correlate with problem gambling severity, supporting the total consumption model in adolescent gambling behavior.

Area of Science:

Adolescent Health
Behavioral Science
Public Health

Background:

Adolescent gambling is a growing concern with potential negative consequences.
Understanding the patterns and predictors of problem gambling is crucial for prevention and intervention.
The total consumption model, often applied to substance use, needs investigation in the context of adolescent gambling.

Purpose of the Study:

To determine the prevalence and distribution of gambling behaviors among Norwegian adolescents.
To examine the association between gambling frequency, expenditures, and problem gambling at individual and school levels.
To test the applicability of the total consumption model to adolescent gambling.

Main Methods:

Utilized a national representative sample of 11,637 adolescents aged 13-19 from 73 schools.
Employed the Lie/Bet Questionnaire and a DSM-criterion for chasing losses to identify problem gambling.
Analyzed data for individual-level associations and aggregate (school-level) correlations.

Main Results:

A significant majority (78.5%) of adolescents reported gambling in the past year.
3.1% of adolescents met the criteria for problem gambling.
Problem gamblers exhibited substantially higher gambling frequency and expenditures, accounting for a disproportionate share of slot machine spending (6.1% responsible for 59%).
Aggregate analysis revealed positive correlations between overall gambling levels and problem gambling prevalence, supporting the total consumption model.

Conclusions:

Adolescent gambling is widespread, with a notable prevalence of problem gambling.
The total consumption model effectively describes adolescent gambling behavior, indicating that increased overall gambling activity is linked to higher rates of problem gambling.
Findings underscore the need for targeted interventions and prevention strategies for adolescent gambling.
