This book studies young people's use of psychoactive drugs and its
social and psychological correlates in Hong Kong. Specifically, it
focuses on how life satisfaction may affect drug use among a sample
of psychoactive drug users in Hong Kong. The book addresses the
dearth of research on the role of young people's life satisfaction
in their drug abuse and engagement in other risk behaviors in Hong
Kong. It also examines how changes in the drug scene from heroin
addiction to psychoactive party drug use since the late 1990s has
necessitated a deeper exploration of the subculture of young
people, which shapes their attitudes and behaviors regarding how
they structure their lives and how they perceive the risks of drug
use, in the context of the global trend of normalization of
recreational drug use. Readers will benefit from the results of a
rigorous analysis of a unique set of longitudinal data that reveals
the factors influencing drug use among young psychoactive drug
users, academic implications of the findings for social science
theory and research on young people's drug use, and practical
implications of the findings for prevention and intervention
services for young people in Hong Kong and other Asian societies.
