Substance abuse was more common among male students than female students.…”

Materials and Methods: The research was conducted as a descriptive study in Şanlıurfa, which has a very young population, between September 2014 and March 2015. The research sample comprised 54.928 students in grades seven through twelve. The research data were obtained using a survey form prepared by the researchers according to the literature, and expert opinions were obtained from three specialists in the field before administering the survey. The data were evaluated using SPSS 17. Written permission from the relevant institutions and the verbal permission of the participants were obtained for conducting the study. Results: Of the students, 51.6% were male, 23.8% were in ninth grade, 81.1% had 4 or more siblings, and 40.1% were the fourth or more in sibling order. While 23.2% were working when not at school; 6.3% smoked tobacco, 2.4% were using substances other than cigarettes, and 13.1% were acquainted with substance abusers. Those who said they used substances due to curiosity made up 31.3%, and 29.9% said they used substances to feel more powerful. The smoking and substance use rate was higher for male students, working students, students with extremely domineering families and students exposed to domestic violence. Conclusion: These data obtained on substance use by students and the factors that affect it suggest that studies should be carried out on substance use prevention, family awareness should be increased and prevention policies should be developed and implemented.

“…Young people were reported to be the main customers in the club drug market of Taiwan (e.g., Liu et al, 2005). Academic competence and performance were also found to be significant predictors of students' use of Ecstasy (e.g., Çorapçıoğlu and Őgel, 2004;Micheli and Formigoni, 2004). Further, the prevalence of substance use in vocational training school students was found to be higher than that among students of other schools (Lau, 2002).…”

Research among Asian MDMA users is rare. To evaluate the feasibility of a study on abuse/ dependence on Ecstasy, two focus groups with users (n=12) and one with health professionals (n=7) were conducted in Taiwan. Major results included blatant human testing with "candy/dinosaur girls" and a specific sequence of use called "Trinity" (MDMA, Ketamine, and marijuana). "Head-shaked bars" and "KTVs" were public places where illegal behaviors were implicitly allowed. Depression after MDMA use was not reported. For future studies, participants suggested that MRI could be a strong incentive for young users to enhance willingness to participate. Cultural issues are discussed.

Psychological symptoms related with violence and its relationship with internalizing and externalizing problems among 10 th grade students in IstanbulObjective: Aim of this study was to evaluate the associations of gender, self-destructive behavior (selfharming behaviors - [SHB] and suicidal ideation/attempts -[SI/A]), lifetime substance use (tobacco, alcohol and any drug) and psychological variables (depression, anxiety, anger and impulsivity) with having psychological symptoms after experiencing or witnessing any violence, serious assault or battery event among 10 th grade students in Istanbul/Turkey.Methods: Online self-report survey was conducted based on 4957 10 th grade students selected according to multi-stage sampling in 45 schools from 15 districts of Istanbul.Results: Risks of assault from a peer, physical fight within last year, bearing arms, disciplinary punishment and problems with the law were higher in the group with psychological symptoms (GPS). Together with SHB and SI/A, lifetime tobacco and any drug use, male gender, depression, anxiety, and anger predicted the GPS. Conclusion:The findings suggest that with a single and simple question, high risk group of GPS can be determined, followed and offered proper help for both internalizing problems and externalizing behaviors, whether or not they are consequences of the victimization. Sonuç: Bulgular tek ve basit bir soru ile, GPS için yüksek risk grubunun belirlenebileceğini, izlenebileceğini ve mağduriyetin sonuçları olsun ya da olmasın hem içselleştirme sorunlarına hem de davranışları yansıtmaya ilişkin uygun bir yardım önerilebileceğini düşündürmektedir.
