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...

Area of Science:

  • Digital addiction research
  • Public health
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Digital addiction affects a significant population, especially youth, leading to psychological and social issues.
  • Prevention and management of digital addiction are critical public health priorities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct an umbrella review of existing meta-analyses.
  • To comprehensively analyze factors influencing digital addiction.
  • To re-evaluate the methodologies and evidence quality of prior studies.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic search of PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Embase for reviews and meta-analyses up to September 24, 2024.
  • Methodological quality assessed using the modified "A Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews 2" (AMSTAR 2) tool.
  • Evidence quality evaluated using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) tool.

Main Results:

  • 18 articles were included; 6 were moderate-quality, 4 low-quality, and 8 very low-quality.
  • 29 significant factors associated with digital addiction were identified.
  • Positive parent-child relationships (r=-0.15) mitigate risks; urban residence (OR 2.32), adverse childhood experiences (r=0.21), and social anxiety (r=0.34) increase risks.

Conclusions:

  • Social factors like urban residence increase digital addiction risk, while social support acts as a protective factor.
  • Further refinement of methodologies for analyzing digital addiction factors is necessary.
