The curiosity and increased memory had the highest and lowest incidence, respectively. Conclusions: The incidence of SUD is high among Iranian students, and most of them have begun SUD in adolescence and because of curiosity.

Personality Disorders are frequently occurring among patients with substance use disorders.

Significant Difference

Lebanon has been a conflict zone for a long period of time, with no sufficient data associating war to substance use disorder (SUD). The aim of this study was to assess factors associated with substance use among Lebanese patients who were exposed to war, either by participating in or witnessing it. A cross-sectional study, performed between June and December 2016, included 77 males. Thirty-five patients were taking substances, 22 of them had participated in war, 34 of them were member of an official organization, and 100% were males. No significant difference was found between war participation and SUD ( p = .611) either with the subtype of substances. This study showed that depression was associated with a higher substance use in persons exposed to war. Health care professionals should communicate more with patients to decrease substance use and decrease the risk factors associated with it.
