About this study

Official title: Early Warning Model Construction on Cognition, Resistance and Using Risk of the New Psychoactive Substances in Adolescents Based on Behavioral Expression of Addiction Susceptibility Genes and Adverse Childhood Experience

Based on the biological-psychology-sociological medicine pattern, this study aims to construction an early warning model of the New Psychoactive Substances (NPS) using for adolescents aged 14-35 years old. This study intends to obtain the data related to the behavioral expression of addiction susceptibility genes, adverse childhood experience, cognition, resistance and the use of NPS in adolescents by questionnaire survey (sample size: 200), and then use logistic regression and machine learning to construct an early warning model.

Read the detailed description

Based on the biological-psychology-sociological medicine pattern, this study aims to construction an early warning model on the use of the New Psychoactive Substances using for adolescents aged 14-35 years old. This study intends to conduct a questionnaire survey (sample size 200) to obtain data related to the behavioral expression of addiction susceptibility genes, childhood adversity experience, cognition, resistance and the use of NPS in adolescents from different regions and different populations. Through data analysis, this study aims to get the weight of different risk factors on NPS use, and then use logistic regression and machine learning to construct an early warning model, so as to screen out high-risk groups. At the same time, the expert group was consulted to establish a risk early warning system to provide a basis for intervention.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. the cognition of NPS

    knowledge questionnaire of drug types and risk awareness of drug use will be investigated to know the degree of cognition to NPS

    Measured: Baseline

  2. the resistance of NPS

    the drug refusal self-efficacy scale and the drug use permissive attitude will be used to measure the the resistance of NPS

    Measured: Baseline

  3. the use of NPS

    there will be some questions to investigate the drug use conditions

    Measured: Baseline

  4. Adverse Childhood Experience

    the Chinese version of Adverse Childhood Experience Scale with 10 items will be used to measure the adverse childhood experience

    Measured: Baseline

  5. hedonic hunger

    the Power of Food Scale with 15 items will be used to measure hedonic hunger

    Measured: Baseline

  6. sensation seeking personality

    the Brief Sensation Seeking Scale for Chinese with 8 items will be used to measure sensation seeking personality

    Measured: Baseline

  7. prosocial behavior

    Measured: Baseline

  8. externalizing behavior

    17 items of aggressive behavior and 15 items of rule-breaking behavior from the Chinese Version of Achenbach Youth Self-Report-2001 Version will be used to measure adolescents' degree of externalizing behavior
