Abstract

Substance abuse among adolescents and young adults is a significant global public health concern with complex consequences. Understanding the interplay between risk and protective factors is vital for developing effective prevention and intervention strategies. This systematic review aims to synthesize knowledge on these factors across diverse cultural contexts. Adhering to PRISMA guidelines, a systematic literature search was performed in four databases: PubMed, Scopus, PsycINFO, and Web of Science. Keywords related to substance abuse, risk and protective factors, and relevant populations were used, focusing on studies published between 2014 and 2023 involving adolescents and young adults with either quantitative or qualitative designs. From an initial pool of 3,152 articles, 36 studies met the inclusion criteria and underwent thematic analysis. The findings reveal significant interacting risk factors: social and environmental risks, including permissive peer influences, high-risk settings, and substance availability; familial risks, such as lack of parental supervision and unstable family dynamics; and psychological risks, such as sensation-seeking, impulsivity, and mental health issues.  Moreover, genetic predispositions interact with environmental exposures. Protective factors, such as strong family bonds, positive peer relations, resilience, prosocial behaviours, and community support, mitigate these risks. The review’s findings are aligned with Social Influence, Attachment, and Sensation-Seeking and Impulsivity theories, emphasizing the complex dynamics between risks and protective factors. While protective factors counter risks, the intricate interactions necessitate addressing multiple influences concurrently. The limitations of cross-sectional studies underscore the need for longitudinal research, exploring temporal and causal pathways within diverse populations using robust frameworks.

Abstract

Although the COVID-19 pandemic ended as a global health emergency, its psychosocial legacy persists in many communities. This study examines how religion and spirituality support recovery in Indonesia and Pakistan by shaping crisis narratives. Faith-based language is treated as psychosocial data and interpreted through its functions in meaning-making, emotion regulation, social connection, value anchoring, and action commitment using Psycho-Spiritual Transformation (PST) as a guiding framework. Open-ended responses were collected from 274 participants via an online survey in July 2021 (Indonesia n = 236; Pakistan n = 38). Across both contexts, narratives typically moved from pressure and inner conflict toward spiritual and relational reassurance and then toward renewed ethical orientation and practical commitments, including prosocial intentions and health-protective behaviors. The overall pattern was broadly similar across these two countries, indicating a shared faith-based meaning reconstruction grammar in highly religious societies. However, the Indonesian narratives more often combined diverse coping elements and translated faith into practical commitments, whereas the Pakistani narratives more strongly emphasized spiritual and relational reassurance. The findings highlight PST as a useful lens for distinguishing supportive faith discourse from forms of resignation that may hinder adaptive coping.
