Risk Factors for Teen Drug Abuse


Common risk factors for teen drug abuse include:
• A family history of substance abuse
• A mental or behavioral health condition, such as depression, anxiety or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
• Early aggressive or impulsive behavior
• A history of traumatic events, such as experiencing a car accident or being a victim of abuse
• Low self-esteem or poor social coping skills
• Feelings of social rejection
• Lack of nurturing by parents or caregivers
• Academic failure
• Relationships with peers who abuse drugs
• Drug availability or belief that drug abuse is OK
Keep in mind that your teen's risk factors might change over time. Consider reviewing them once a year, such as around your teen's birthday.
