What a great reply!

To examine life stress and social support among drug abusers, researchers can employ a multi-faceted approach:

Administer standardized measures like the Life Experiences Survey to assess the frequency and impact of stressful life events experienced by drug abusers.

Use the Social Support Questionnaire to evaluate the size, satisfaction, and perceived availability of social support networks.

Conduct interviews to gain a deeper understanding of how drug abusers perceive and cope with stress, as well as the role of social support in their lives.

Analyze the relationship between stress, social support, and substance use outcomes over time to determine how these factors interact and influence recovery.
