The Relationship between Identity Styles and Addiction Vulnerability: A Cross-Sectional Study among Medical Students in Zahedan, South Eastern Iran.

The current understanding of etiology of addiction vulnerability is mainly based on a large number of epidemiological studies in which multiple determinants, including intra-individual components, demographic characteristics, and socioeconomic status (SES) can predispose vulnerability to drug abuse and addiction (Gerra et al., 2004; Humensky, 2010). Although the relationship between these dispositional determinants and addiction vulnerability is well described in general population, little is known about the effect of known dispositional determinants on this adverse outcome in specific populations such as university students.
