To prepare: Access the Case Scenarios and revisit your chosen case from Wee

 
To prepare:
Access the Case Scenarios and revisit your chosen case from Week 3. 
Review the Dahlgren-Whitehead Model and pay close attention to the three innermost layers of the model: Age, Sex and Constitutional Factors, Individual Lifestyle Factors, Social and Community Networks. 
Consider how factors such as race and ethnicity, age, sex, nutrition, sleep habits, and social relationships can contribute to the development of a substance use disorder.

Submit a 2page paper in which you: 
Briefly introduce the individual featured in your chosen case.  
Analyze the individual and interpersonal factors that may have contributed to the development of a substance use disorder for the individual featured in your case.  
Be sure to address factors associated with each of the three inner layers in the Dahlgren-Whitehead Model: Age, Sex, and Constitutional Factors, Individual Lifestyle Factors, and Social and Community Networks.

case profile 1
 
Tyler Johnson is a 22-year-old male college student referred to treatment after an emergency department visit for acute alcohol poisoning. Tyler is a member of an on-campus fraternity, and this social group frequently hosts weekend parties that serve alcohol. He grew up with alcoholic beverages customarily being served alongside family meals. Tyler’s father and grandfather have a history of high alcohol use, though Tyler reports that they seem to be able to “hold their liquor” and rarely act intoxicated. Tyler’s older sister died in a car crash and an autopsy revealed high levels of alcohol in her body at the time of her death. 
What do you notice in this short description that places Tyler at heightened risk for developing alcohol use disorder? Some individuals who grow up in families with strong family histories of substance use and misuse do not go on to develop a substance use disorder themselves. However, genes can indeed increase risk; the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (2022) reported that 50%–60% of vulnerability to alcohol use disorder is thought to be inherited. Still other influences include age, sex, and individual and lifestyle factors. In this Assignment, you use the case study you selected in Week 3 to analyze the social determinants of health at the micro and mezzo levels that may have contributed to the development of a substance use disorder.
