Abstract
Malaysia has been overwhelmed with the issues involving adolescent and drug abuse activity nowadays. The purpose of this paper is to conduct Pearson correlation analysis to see the relationship between seven variables in this data set. This current study involves 2894 data from some secondary school students in Malaysia (1357 male, 1537 female) from Kelantan, Pulau Pinang, Kedah, Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Johor, Sabah and Sarawak with range of age 13 to 14 years old. Analysis shows that there is significant positive linear relationship between drug risk behavior and depression and negative linear relationship between drug risk behavior and social support from family, peer and school, family income and resilience. Further studies are needed to replicate this study by using more advance statistical analysis and at the same time further longitudinal studies assessing the interaction between these construct or variables are crucial at different culture background and adolescence development stage because this study only focus on early adolescence stage.
