ABSTRACT

Despite recent research on the importance of ‘milestones’ in the development of substance use disorders (SUD) as well as a growing appreciation of individuals as embedded in environmental and social contexts, qualitative analyses of the pathways to SUD have received little attention. This study is a qualitative exploration into pathways to SUD focusing on the intrapersonal, social, and familial reasons that motivate initial and sustained contact with substances and inform the attainment of SUD milestones. First-person accounts of the saliency of substance use may thus support milestone research and inform treatment design.

物质使用途径：短期住院治疗个体的定性研究

摘要

尽管最近对“里程碑”在物质使用障碍 (SUD) 发展中的重要性进行了研究，并且人们越来越认识到环境和社会背景中的个体，但对 SUD 途径的定性分析却很少受到关注。本研究是对 SUD 途径的定性探索，重点是个人、社会和家庭原因，这些原因激励初始和持续接触物质并告知 SUD 里程碑的实现。因此，对物质使用显着性的第一人称叙述可能支持里程碑式的研究并为治疗设计提供信息。
