| dc.description.abstract | Introduction: The non-medical use of drugs is increasingly seen as a major social
problem with physical and emotional implications amongst the young people all over the
world (WHO 1998; UNDCP, 1992; UN 1988). Several studies have been done to
examine the characteristics, magnitude and nature of the substance use and abuse.
However, the precise physical, psychological and social effects of drug abuse among
children and the young persons in Kenya have not been adequately addressed.
Objectives: This study therefore aimed at establishing the pattern and level of severity of
the social, physical and emotional implications of substance abuse among children and
the young persons in Nairobi. | en |
