“…Many previous theories are differentially applicable to various stages of the progression of substance abuse, including initiation, continuation, transition from use to abuse, cessation, and relapse (Lettieri et al, 1980). Increasingly, investigators cease to assume that initial drug use and drug addiction have the same causes.…”

“…More often than not, the models are derived simply from the observed correlates of substance abuse. The multivariate research is in other cases guided by one of the numerous available theories of drug use (Lettieri, Sayers, & Pearson, 1980). The present program of research is guided, in contrast,by a general theory that incorporates several more specific theoretical orientations.…”

e examined circumstances sirnounding initial illicit drug use for their effects on W escalation of use. We conducted separate multivariate analyses for men and women and, within each of these groupings, for subgroups differentiated by experiences in early adolescence. The analyses reflect changes in substantive concerns and methods that characterize the recent history of research on psychosocial influences on drug use. lbh work was supported by research grants RO1 DA 04310 and ROI DA 02497 and a Resemh Scientist Award (KO5 DA !W136] to Howard B.

“…Multiple theories provide explanations for substance use and misuse across the lifespan, highlighting biological, psychological, and sociological mechanisms (Bahr & Hoffmann, 2016;Lettieri et al, 1980). We focus here on major theoretical themes that provide a framework for understanding substance use among adolescents and young adults.…”

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background and Aim: The importance of work in the lives of employees cannot be over-flogged; thus, the safety of the environment where their jobs are carried is crucial and serves as a principal ingredient for maximising employees’ performance. The study was anchored on the theory of reasoned action, the human factors theory and Incident theory of accident causation. Methodology: A total of 173 employees of five manufacturing organisations in Ota Area of Ogun State were selected for the study through the purposive sampling method. The data obtained from respondents were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: Findings revealed that there exists a strong positive effect of occupational health policies on employee performance with (r= .909, p-value<0.05) and also, there is a strong correlation between environmental safety standards and employees performance with (r=0.915, p-value<0.05). Conclusion: The study concluded that the manufacturing industry is expected to constitute and inaugurate a safety committee to take charge of issues bordering on health and safety; therefore, ensuring the right storage procedures of inflammable liquids and other dangerous materials and arming employees with enough information and insight on the risks inherent in their jobs through education and periodic trainings would help in minimizing accidents in the workplace.
