Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Substance abuse among adolescents is influenced most by family-related factors, such as genet-ics, family stress, and parenting styles. Research suggests that successful social influence-based prevention programs may be driven by their ability to foster social norms that reduce an adoles-cent's social motivation to begin using ATODs. Peer pressure and socioeconomic level may play a role in the abuse of substances, but this has not been the major factor identified. Media mes-sages promoting the use of substances may influence this population, but is not the major factor that has been identified.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Codependency occurs when a person in a close relationship with an addict develops unhealthy coping mechanisms to continue the relationship. Obsession is a thought that continually preoccu-pies ones' thoughts. Enabling is the act of shielding or preventing the addict from experiencing the consequences of addiction. Drug addiction is a pattern of abuse characterized by an over-whelming preoccupation with the use of a drug, securing its supply, and a high tendency to re-lapse if the drug is removed.
