B. Lesson Discussion
Risk and Protective Factors for Drug Use, Misuse, Abuse, and Dependence
The use, misuse, and abuse of drugs are the result of various factors surrounding a person. These factors
either increase or decrease the possibility of a person to use drugs.
Risk factors are those influences that increase the chances of using, misusing, and abusing drugs. Protective
factors, on the other hand, are those influences that decrease the chances of using, misusing, and abusing
drugs. According to studies, protective factors counterbalance the negative effects of risk factors. It is
important to understand that it does not necessarily mean that several risk factors present to make a
person highly susceptible to drug use, misuse, and abuse. Protective factors even if few may be enough to
work against the risk factors, more so if there are several of these protective influences. These factors are
composed of influences in different domains of life.
Below are the risk and protective factors in the use, misuse, and abuse of drugs:
