Article Abstract

Shame has been hypothesized to both contribute to and protect against problematic substance use, yet no systematic reviews of these relationships exist. We identified 42 studies of the empirical associations between shame and substance use or substance use-related problems in order to elucidate this relationship. A meta-analysis of 14 samples found no significant association between shame and substance use (r = 0.00). A meta-analysis of 18 samples found a significant association between shame and substance use-related problems (r = 0.16), an effect size similar to that found in previous meta-analyses of the association between depression and substance use. Samples in treatment for substance use disorders had higher experienced shame than controls. Over longer periods of time (i.e., months to years) shame was not a reliable predictor of substance use. Over shorter periods of time (i.e., hours to days), shame predicted more substance use, though this was qualified by complex interaction effects with shame sometimes appearing to have protective functions. Two studies demonstrated that substance use in particular contexts results in shame. The discussion identifies potential moderators of the relationship between shame and substance use and recommendations future research directions.

Background: Pediatric and adolescent firearm injuries and fatalities in the United States have surged to levels not seen since the mid-1990s, marking a critical public health inflection point. Young Black males (ages 15-24) experience firearm-related fatality rates 24 times higher than their White peers. Despite this disproportionate risk, they are less likely to participate in traditional firearm violence prevention programs.

Cultural values influence health beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors. Given the history of pre-colonial Philippines and under Spanish, American, and Japanese colonization, Filipinos have unique cultural values that are understudied in relation to health outcomes. The objectives of this study are to (1) create and validate measurement scales of surface level Filipino cultural values and (2) examine its associations with depressive symptoms and substance use in a sample of Filipino Americans.
