Abstract

Background: Substance abuse is a serious global problem that is affected by multiple psychosocial and socio-demographic factors.Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the leading factors in positive ATTITUDE and tendency toward substance abuse in terms of PERSONALITY, socio-economic, and socio-demographic factors.Patients and Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 200 college students (105 females and 95 males) residing in Damghan University dormitory in northeast of Iran were recruited by random sampling from March to July 2013. The participants were instructed and asked to complete the NEO FIVE-factor Inventory, the ATTITUDE to substance abuse scale, and the demographic questionnaire. Then data were analyzed by stepwise multiple regression employing PASW 18.Results: Being male sex and neuroticism had a significant positive role in predicting positive ATTITUDE toward substance abuse in university students. In addition, agreeableness, conscientiousness, openness, and socio-economic status had a significant negative role in predicting tendency toward substance abuse (P<0.001). Extraversion had no significant role in prediction of positive ATTITUDE to substance abuse (P>0.05).Conclusions: Lower agreeableness, decreased conscientiousness, higher neuroticism, diminished openness, low socio-economic status, and male sex might make university students more inclined to substance abuse. Thus, it is reasonable to show the importance of these factors in tailored prevention programs.
