Influence of Parents and Peers on Identity01:23

Influence of Parents and Peers on Identity

143
Adolescence is a pivotal period of identity formation, during which individuals begin to answer questions central to their sense of self, such as "Who am I?" and "Who do I hope to become?" Both parents and peers play critical roles in guiding adolescents through this complex developmental phase.
Parental Influence on Identity Development
Parents serve as primary guides and managers in an adolescent's life, offering support instrumental in decision-making and personal growth....

Drug Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena

663
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...

Types of Biopharmaceutical Studies: Controlled and Non-Controlled Approaches

184
Biopharmaceutical studies constitute a vital field aiming to enhance drug delivery methods and refine therapeutic approaches, drawing upon diverse interdisciplinary knowledge. In research methodologies, the choice between controlled and non-controlled studies significantly influences the study's reliability and accuracy.
Non-controlled studies, commonly employed for initial exploration, lack a control group, rendering them susceptible to biases and external influences. In contrast,...

Analgesia and Pain Management01:25

Analgesia and Pain Management

822
Pain is critical to various clinical pathologies, provoking an urgent need for effective management. Pain, whether acute or chronic, is a complex neurochemical process. Its alleviation depends on the type, with nonopioid analgesics effective for mild to moderate pain, such as musculoskeletal or inflammatory pain, while neuropathic pain responds best to anticonvulsants, tricyclic antidepressants, or serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. For severe acute or chronic pain, opioids may be...

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

40.6K
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...

Drug Control Governance: Regulatory Bodies and Their Impact01:03

Drug Control Governance: Regulatory Bodies and Their Impact

258
Drug control governance involves the oversight and regulation of pharmaceuticals to ensure their safety and efficacy while preventing illegal drug use and trafficking. Regulatory bodies, including the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Union's European Medicines Agency (EMA), play a central role in this process. These agencies evaluate the safety and efficacy of drugs before they can be marketed. They fund clinical trials and assess the benefits and risks associated with...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Adolescent Medicine
  • Substance Use Research

Background:

  • 2.2 million adolescents diagnosed with substance use disorders in 2022, with 265,000 having opioid use disorder.
  • 130,000 adolescents misused prescription pain medications, often sourced from social networks.
  • Adolescents perceive weekly heroin use as less risky compared to younger or older age groups.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of a fentanyl awareness curriculum on adolescents in a rural Texas school district.
  • To explore associations between demographic characteristics, educational intervention, and student responses regarding substance use and fentanyl.
  • To evaluate changes in confidence and behavioral intentions related to fentanyl exposure post-education.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire was administered to 7th-12th graders in a rural Texas school district.
  • Participants were categorized into younger (7th-8th grade) and older (9th-12th grade) groups.
  • Chi-square and Fisher's exact tests were used to analyze associations between demographics, responses, and educational impact.

Main Results:

  • A significant association (p=0.04) was found between receiving education and adolescents feeling more in control of substance-related actions.
  • The majority of participants (85.11%) identified as Hispanic or Latino.
  • No significant association was observed between the educational intervention and increased confidence in identifying fentanyl.

Conclusions:

  • School-based education may enhance adolescents' behavioral intentions concerning fentanyl exposure, aligning with efforts to combat rising overdose deaths.
  • The study provides valuable context for understanding the fentanyl epidemic in a high-intensity drug trafficking region.
  • Further interventions are necessary to improve adolescents' ability to identify fentanyl risks, despite positive impacts on behavioral intentions.
