Summary

Introduction

When addiction is defined as a dysfunctional relationship between a person and an object, it is easier to understand the addiction and its impact at work. Subclinical risk factors (e.g., impulsivity, poor parental supervision, and delinquency) are common across chemical and behavioral expressions of addiction (Brenner & Collins, 1998; Caetano, John, et al, 2001; Vitaro, Brendgen, Ladouceur, & Tremblay, 2001). Research shows that individuals who engage in one problem behavior are likely to engage in others (Caetano, John, et al, 2001; Shaffer & Hall, 2002). Various sociodemographic risk factors (e.g., relating to poverty, geography, family, and peer groups) can influence the onset and course of both drug use and other activities (e.g., gambling) that can affect the likelihood of developing addiction (Christiansen, Vik, & Jarchow, 2002; Evans & Kantrowitz, 2002; Gambino, Fitzgerald, Shaffer, & Renner, 1993; Lopes, 1987)
