مقایسه سلامت اجتماعی در افراد وابسته به مواد و عادی

Social health is considered as one of the dimensions of health and plays an important role in reducing social harms. The present study aimed to compare social health in substance-dependent and normal individuals. The research was a causal-comparative study. The sample consisted of 100 (50 normal, 50 substance-dependent) individuals who were selected based on the inclusion criteria of the research and by using convenient sampling method. The research tool was Keyes Social Health Questionnaire (2004). Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance. The results of multivariate analysis of variance showed that there is a significant difference between the components of social health in substance-dependent and normal individuals, so that substance-dependent individuals had lower levels of social health (social prosperity, social solidarity, social cohesion, social acceptance and social participation). Overall, the results indicate that substance-dependent individuals have problems with social health and promotion of social health in cooperation with different sectors of society should always be considered by authorities, specialists and the entire community.
