Abstract
This quantitative research was to study the relationship among family factors, peer factors, community factors, teacher factors, media factors, intra-personal factors, and drug addiction among youth in Pattani Province by analyzing data using non-parametric statistics (Nonparametric Statistics). The target group were 19 youths addicted to drug cases in Pattani Province. The results showed that the youth in Pattani had drug addiction behavior at a moderate level, which was related to internal factors. At a high level, family factors, peer group factors and community factors were moderate, with teachers and media factors being low. However, the community factors were considered to be positively correlated with drug addiction behavior of the youth. Media factors were positively correlated with drug addiction behavior of the youth. Teacher factors were positively correlated with drug behavior of the youth at the statistical significance of .001 level, and self-interest factor was positively correlated with drug addiction behavior of youth with the statistical significance of .01 level. The variables studied could be used to expand the results of studies in other areas to confirm the findings for further submission as a policy.
