TI  - Family, peer and individual factors related to methylenedioxymethamphetamine use 
      in Taiwanese adolescents.
PG  - 552-7
AB  - Examination of the correlates of methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) use is 
      crucial for the development and implementation of effective prevention programs 
      for adolescents. The aim of the present study was therefore to identify the 
      family, peer and individual factors that were related to MDMA use in Taiwanese 
      adolescents. Two hundred adolescents who used MDMA and 200 who did not use MDMA 
      were recruited into the study. The family, peer and individual factors related to 
      MDMA use were examined using chi(2) automatic interaction detection (CHAID) 
      analysis. The results indicated that the adolescents who had more friends 
      involved with substance use, disruptive family and attitude favoring MDMA use 
      were more likely to use MDMA. Multiple factors of family, peer and individuals 
      were related to MDMA use among Taiwanese adolescents. This knowledge may be 
      helpful when designing and implementing preventive intervention programs.
