One study from the USA provides evidence that consumerism is related to smoking, alcohol and cannabis use in 14 to 18 - year - olds, 15 and another reports an association with alcohol use in 10 to 18 - year - olds.16 Among 18 to 21 - year - old Belgian students, a substance use scale (combining smoking, drinking and drug use) was negatively related to «intrinsic values» and positively related to «extrinsic values» relating to financial success and physical appearance.17 Finally, a study of Chinese 14 to 19 - year - olds found positive associations, cross-sectionally and prospectively,
between consumerism and scores on a self - reported risky behaviour questionnaire, one component of which was alcohol and / or drug use.18 It has been suggested that these associations may reflect attempts to satisfy the unmet needs of more materialistic individuals, 15 in a manner akin to self - medication.17
