In general, reasons for an individual’s substance use include some complex factors that have been unique to the individual, ranging from psychological factors such as curiosity, risk-taking and coping, to peer influence and environmental influence. A study has suggested that parents had a huge influence on young people’s attitude towards substance use (Lander et al., 2013).

It is conceivable that individuals who have been incarcerated and now reside in the community may encounter social exclusion. I am determined to take action to address this issue. However, merely asking them, “Do you feel socially excluded?” does not provide a comprehensive understanding of their experience. Can you assist me in finding a solution?

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?
