TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - Strain and depression following release from prison: the moderating role of social support mechanisms on substance use JO - Deviant behavior A1 - Mowen, Thomas J.

While social support drawn from families, peers, and institutions may help returning individuals avoid substance use, it is unclear how social support might condition the link between depression and substance use. Using longitudinal panel data from the Serious and Violent and Offender Reentry Initiative, results from mixed-models demonstrate that depression is significantly associated with increased substance use. Family support, but not peer support, is tied to lower use, and institutional support relates to decreased alcohol use but increased illicit drug use.
