Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Public Health
  • Addiction Science

Background:

  • Substance use is a significant issue among college students.
  • Self-efficacy may play a role in substance use control.
  • The impact of prior treatment on self-efficacy and substance use is not fully understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between self-efficacy and substance use in college students.
  • To examine how prior substance abuse treatment influences this relationship.
  • To explore the association between treatment and engagement with campus substance abuse programs.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was administered to 1,291 college students.
  • Data collected included self-reported alcohol and drug use, self-efficacy levels, and history of substance abuse treatment.
  • Attendance at campus substance abuse programs was also recorded.

Main Results:

  • Greater self-efficacy was linked to lower substance use, but only for students who had received prior treatment.
  • Students reporting treatment were more likely to have attended campus substance abuse programs.
  • No significant association between self-efficacy and substance use was found for students without prior treatment.

Conclusions:

  • Self-efficacy is a protective factor against substance use for college students with a history of substance abuse treatment.
  • Substance use and its management appear to be integral to the self-identity of individuals undergoing treatment.
  • Campus programs may be an important resource for students seeking to control substance abuse.
