Factors that Influence Addiction Assignment

Differentiate static and dynamic risk and protective factors of addiction.

Explain how physiological and psychological factors influence the initiation, maintenance, abstinence, and recovery from chemical and behavioral addictions.

Have you ever wondered what makes one person become addicted to a substance while others, who use the same substance, do not? Every person has risk and protective factors that influence their thoughts, feelings, behavior, and physiology. These factors interact with genetics, internal traits, and social and environmental influences (Social Determinants of Health (Links to an external site.)) to make it more or less likely that someone will become addicted.

Instructions:

Respond to each of the following prompts. Responses to each prompt must be substantive (about 2 pages single-spaced). Be sure to clearly number your responses. Your paper does not need to be in APA format but your references should be included in APA format. Please use both in-text citations and a reference list at the end. This article by Stone, Becker, Huber, & Catalano (2012) may help you get started.
