Which term describes any attribute, characteristic, or exposure that increases the likelihood of developing a substance use disorder?
Correct Answer:
Risk factor
Explanation:
Risk factor describes any attribute, characteristic, or exposure that increases the likelihood of developing a substance use disorder. These can include genetic predisposition, family history, early or heavy exposure to substances, trauma or mental health issues, peer environment, and ongoing stress. Importantly, having risk factors raises probability but doesn’t guarantee addiction; protective factors like strong coping skills and supportive surroundings can offset some risk. By contrast, remission means symptoms have reduced or disappeared, being sober means abstaining from use, and Suboxone is a medication used to treat opioid use disorder.
