“…Our results differed from previous research which reported significant associations between substance use and mental problems and behavior problems, and suicide risk [42]. With limited numbers, less than 5% of our sample with substance use in subgroups, we did find a positive tendency of illicit substance use such as heroin, sedative use with increased odds of MS.…”

Prevalence and distribution pattern of mood swings in Thai adolescents: a school-based survey in the central region of Thailand

et al. 2020

Background: Mood swings (MS) are a widely discussed psychiatric ailment of youthful patients. However, there is a lack of research about MS in this population. Methods: A school-based, cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate the prevalence and distribution pattern of mood swings due to personal and contextual determinants in Thai adolescents in the central region of Thailand. Participants were 2598 students in high schools and vocational schools in Bangkok and three provinces in the central region of Thailand. Results: The prevalence of mood swings was 26.4%. It was highest among vocational students in Bangkok at 37.1%. MS were more common in adolescents who exhibited risk behaviors and who resided in hazardous situations. The probabilities of MS by characteristic in 15-24 years olds were: bullying involvement 36.9% (n = 1293), problematic social media use 55.9%(n = 127), high expressed emotion in family 36.6% (n = 1256), and studying in a vocational program 29.5% (n = 1216) and school located in Bangkok 32.4% (n = 561). Also, substance use was a risk for MS with cannabis use at 41.8%(n = 55) and heroin use at 48.0% (n = 25). Hierarchical logistic regression analysis showed that female gender, having a family history of mental problems, bullying involvement, problematic social media use, high expression of emotion in the family, and the interaction between vocational program enrollments and metropolitan/urban residence associated adolescent mood swings (p < .05). Conclusions: Findings indicate that the pattern of mood swings was associated with significant bullying involvement, social media use, family circumstance, and school characteristics. The public needs greater awareness of MS patterns and the positive implications of MS screening. Early preventive interventions that may limit later mental illness are needed.

“…It is reported that the absence of close family members who use drugs and the existence of parental supervision is associated with greater resistance to initiate [50]. Furthermore, age of onset among Colombian adolescents was also found to be indirectly influenced by family conflict when serially mediated by negative emotions and sensation seeking [31]…”

“…Parental monitoring and warmth are indirect antecedents of drug onset, as they predict adolescents’ social perception of drug use [30]. Family attachment also indirectly increases the age of drug use onset as it lowers negative symptoms and sensation seeking in adolescents [31]. In addition, Bacio et al [9] argued that late initiation of drug use is an outcome of positive school climate, which lowers perceptions of norms of use between peers, reducing their likelihood of beginning substance use in early adolescence.…”

An examination of the association between early initiation of substance use and interrelated multilevel risk and protective factors among adolescents

One of the major goals of drug use prevention programs is to delay the age of onset of substance use. What is called early initiation, usually occurring in adolescents under the age of 15, is a salient predictor of Substance Use Disorders later in adulthood. The causes of early initiation are complex and multifaceted and this has led to the identification of a rich set of risk and protective factors that influence age of onset. Nonetheless, there is little knowledge about the interdependence of these factors in their impact on early initiation. This paper addresses this question by applying Multiple Correspondence Analysis to data on family, community and social risk and protective factors from over 1200 adolescents. We find that community and to a lesser extent social factors are the most clearly associated to early initiation and we compare our results to those obtained from linear regression analyses of the same data that do not incorporate interdependence and find opposite results. We discuss the differences between linear regressions and MCA to evaluate the interplay of risk and protective factors and the implications of our findings for health policy and the design of prevention interventions aimed at delaying age of onset.
