Abstract
Background: The South Sulawesi National Narcotics Agency has recorded an increase in the number of drug addicts in South Sulawesi. The number is based on the number of users who are undergoing rehabilitation. From BNN’s records, since April 2015 there were 1,280 clients undergoing rehabilitation, 1,196 clients in 2016, 920 clients in 2017 and 1,505 clients in 2018. Some predictor factors that can affect drug use are knowledge, family factors, peer factors, school environmental factors, and community environmental factors.
Aim: To identify predictors that influence drug abuse in adolescents in Sidrap Regency.
Method:This study used a quantitative research with observational descriptive design, using a cross sectional approach. The sample consisted of 111 teenage respondents chosen using purposive sampling technique.
Result:The chi-square test result showed that there was a significant relationship between knowledge factors (P Value = 0.002), family factors (P Value = 0,000), peer factors (P Value = 0,000), school environmental factors (P Value = 0.001), and community environmental factors (P Value = 0,000) with drug abuse with a value (constant = 0.397) calculated by the formula Y = a + b1X1 + b2X2 + b3X3 + b4X4 + b5X5.
