Factors influencing the type of self-acceptance in drug addicts and the relationship with subthreshold depression: evidence based on latent profile analysis by Yongqiu Li, Rufang Wang, Jun Liu, Yinghua Zhou

“…Results Drug addicts self-acceptance can be categorized into 5 potential categories; men were more likely than women to show lower self-acceptance in the ‘low-low’(β = 0.285,OR = 0.381, p < 0.001),‘low-high’(β = 0.331,OR = 0.383,p = 0.004), and‘high-low’(β = 0.283,OR = 0.548, p = 0.033) groups compared to the ‘ high-high’ group; drug addicts with an education level of elementary school and below were categorized into the‘low -low ’ group(β = 0.642,OR = 6.173, p = 0.005);HIV-negative drug addicts were more likely to show higher self-acceptance than positive patients(β = 0.418,OR = 2.427, p = 0.034)); the‘low-low’group had the greatest likelihood of being alienated(β = 0.169,OR = 3.249, p < 0.001). …”
