Drug abuse among urban as compared to rural secondary schools students in Kenya:
Abstract
In a comparative study of drug abuse in Urban versus Rural secondary schools, 952 students (547 Urban and 405 rural) were subjected to the WHO youth survey questionnaire. It was found that male, students abused drugs more often than female students. Alcohol emerged as the most commonly abused drug (15'" and 14'" in urban and rural schools respectively). Tobacco,cannabis and inhalants followed in that order. The 'hard' drugs were more commonly used in the rural schools.
