Factors Influencing Synthetic Drug Use in Youth – An Experimental Case Study in Thainguyen City

- The situation of synthetic drug use among adolescents is becoming more and more complicated all over the world, especially in developing countries. Clearly identifying the factors affecting the use of synthetic drugs among young people will contribute to helping local authorities come up with reasonable solutions to limit this situation. The article summarizes previous studies on the factors affecting the use of synthetic drugs in young people, thereby building a model for empirical research in Thainguyen city, Vietnam. The initial 22 observed variables, after assessing the reliability, removed 2 variables, and after EFA, 20 left variables converged into 4 groups of factors: Personnel characteristics, family circumstances, social factors, and accessibility to the synthetic drug. Which, Social factors (SF) and Family circumstances (FC) are more effective in the synthetic drug-using decision of young people than other factors, while Accessibility to synthetic drugs (ATD) and Personnel characteristics are more effective in synthetic drug-using behaviours of young people than other factors.
