Introduction:

Adolescent substance use is a significant public health concern that has far-reaching consequences on individual well-being, family dynamics, and societal costs. The use of substances such as alcohol, tobacco, and illicit drugs among adolescents has been linked to a host of negative outcomes, including academic underachievement, risky sexual behaviors, mental health disorders, and criminal activities. Prevention efforts aimed at reducing adolescent substance use are critical in mitigating these harmful effects and promoting healthy development among young people.

Mindfulness, defined as the awareness that arises through paying attention on purpose, in the present moment, and nonjudgmentally, has gained increasing recognition as a promising intervention strategy for substance use prevention among adolescents. Mindfulness-based interventions have been shown to have beneficial effects on stress reduction, emotional regulation, impulse control, and decision-making skills – all of which are important factors in preventing substance use behaviors. However, the empirical evidence on the effects of mindfulness on adolescent substance use prevention is still limited and inconclusive, warranting further research in this area.

This thesis aims to investigate the effects of mindfulness on adolescent substance use prevention. Specifically, it will explore the potential mechanisms through which mindfulness practices may influence substance use behaviors among adolescents and examine the effectiveness of mindfulness-based interventions in preventing and reducing substance use among youth.
