ABSTRACT

Objective: to test that drug abuse and dependence would be greater among those who have: higher depression, a family with dysfunctional cohesion and adaptability, greater exposure to stressful situations; maladaptive coping strategies.
Methods: a case-control study design was used, with three controls matched to each case by on age, sex, and neighborhood of residence. The sample included 218 cases and 677 controls.
Results: cases of drug abuse and dependence were estimated to have higher odds of elevated depression symptoms, as well as high psychosocial stress from maladaptive school adjustment, compared to controls. Cases of drug dependence had higher odds to maladaptive family cohesion and adaptation, as well as higher odds of exposure to high-impact stress related to family separations, as well as family communication problems.
Conclusions: findings indicate that drug abuse and dependence are significantly related to maladaptative adjustment indicators, family disfunctionality and affective disorders.
