Topic5DQ2: In the DQs for Topics 2 and 3, you used the four Kolb stages to analyze your subtopic. Reflect on your responses to those DQ prompts. Describe three things you learned regarding the subtopic that reflects college-level learning. Explain how the research articles you found for your annotated bibliography support the things you have learned regarding your subtopic. Provide citations to the references you describe here. The social effects of drug abuse on families and relationships are a complex and urgent issue that go beyond the level of the individual and damage the very foundation of interpersonal interactions, familial structures, and social life. Drug abuse has wide-ranging implications on relationships within families, interpersonal interactions, emotional health, and even the intergenerational transfer of habits. This analysis explores the complicated linkages between drug addiction and the complex network of family ties, revealing both the overt disruptions and the subtly emotional undercurrents that underlie these intricate interactions. Drug addiction is strongly associated with intimate partner violence (IPV). According to Cafferky et al. (2018), drug addiction and alcohol consumption are substantially correlated with IPV victimization and perpetration. Data suggest that almost 80% of crimes involving domestic violence involve drug use (Cafferky et al., 2018). The moderator studies conducted by Cafferky et al. (2018), which involved the data from 285 researches that produced 983 effect sizes (ESs) and a total sample size of 627,726, suggested that overall substance usage, alcohol consumption, and drug use were substantially correlated with IPV victimization and perpetration, with mean ESs ranging from r.18 to r.23. Similarly, drug addiction is associated with social stigma and discrimination. Studies show people with substance use disorders (SUDs) face discrimination and stigma that can impact their health and well-being in numerous ways (Yang et al., 2017). 75 percent of 15 studies resulted stereotypes about people with SUDs, which included the degree of addictiveness (i.e., uncontrollability) connected to the problem behavior once the addiction develops, treatment prognosis—the extent to which drug users are seen as likely to relapse (Yang et al., 2017). They
also included unpredictability and anger, difficulty making decisions, attributional beliefs about blame or responsibility for the SUD (Yang et al., 2017). Similarly, according to the American Addiction Centers (AAC, 2022), research has found that compared to other medical disorders, addiction is stigmatized more severely. According to a recent study from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, drug addiction is stigmatized significantly more than mental illness (As cited in AAC, 2022). Some of the survey's findings included that compared to 59% for a person with a mental condition, 90% of people are unwilling to have a spouse with a drug addiction marry into their family (AAC, 2022). Additionally, only 22% of people are willing to work with someone who is addicted to drugs, compared to 62% who will deal with someone who has a mental illness (AAC, 2022).
