Abstract

The study assessed the influence of abortion stigma, behaviour pattern and distress tolerance on substance use amongst adolescents. In determining the influence of of abortion stigma, behaviour pattern and distress tolerance on substance use amongst adolescents, four (4) scales were used namely; Abortion stigma Scale by Shellenberg, KM, Levandowski, B., Hessini, L. (2014), Type A behaviour scale by (Omoluabi, 1997), Distress tolerance scale by Simon and Gaher’s (2005), and Substance use scale by Montgomery County Court Referral Program (Court Administered Alcohol & Drug Service Program) (2012). Participants were 120 students from four secondary schools in uyo, Akwa Ibom state. The sample for this study included males and females selected using purposive sampling technique. The design used in this study was cross sectional survey design and statistics used for this study was a 2×2×2 analysis of variance for unequal sample size. The result of the findings showed that abortion stigma had a significant influence on substance use amongst adolescents [F, (1209)=26.36,P<0.01]. Behaviour pattern exert a significant influence on substance use amongst adolescents [F, (1209)=6.29, P<.05]. Distress tolerance did not exert a significant effect on substance use amongst adolescents. Therefore two of the hypothesis were accepted and one was rejected and recommendation and suggestion for further study was also advanced.
