     In recent years we have seen the phenomenon of drug abuse grow throughout the world. The purpose of this research is to study the etiology of drug abuse among youth using the tools of sociology. From a sociological viewpoint we have made use of theories of structural pressure and stress, social control, subculture, and structural differentiation to study the social factors behind drug abuse among young people. The definition of drug abuse used here includes casual use as well as heavy addiction. The research sample includes youth between the ages of 12 and 20 and the data were collected using both interviews and questionnaires. The independent variables include relations of the youth with their parents, with their school or job, with their peers, and with their teachers. The major dependent variables were drug abuse and the age at which such abuse began. The research sample is made up of 301 youth who have used drugs were interviewed in three different reformatories in Taiwan. The control group is a sample of 318 youth who are not drug users drawn from three senior middle schools---one in Taipei County, one in Changhua County and one in Kaohsiung County. We used self-administered questionnaires to gather data for this control sample. Descriptive statistics together with factor analysis, regression analysis, and t-tests were used in analyzing the data.
