Drug Use from a Psychosocial Perspective

This study aimed to highlight the psychosocial aspects of drug use, including family relationships, parental drug use, peer group influence, deviant behaviour, drug availability, levels of decline, smoking and alcohol consumption, and the conditions that lead to substance use. It also considered communication and the media, as well as other factors such as societal perceptions that affect drug-related sexual behaviour, current education, poverty, urban decay and psychological disorders. Additionally, a series of recommendations were discussed to address issues of addiction and drug use.
