Pages

  21-27

Abstract

 Background: The present study investigated the social and behavioral correlates of Substance use, specifically bang or cocaine or similar drugs among a school-based sample of Adolescents in a low-income urban setting Methods: The study utilized data on 2, 176 school-attending Adolescents aged 11-16 years in Dar es Salaam (DES) to examine social and behavioral correlates for lifetime Substance use. The correlates under investigation included, demographic-age and gender; social-poverty, parent-adolescent relationship; behavioral – truancy, aggressive behavior, injury risk; psychological-depression and suicide ideation. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were then carried out on several variables identified from the 2006 Tanzanian Global School-based Health Survey (GSHS) questionnaire. Results: Approximately seven percent of school-attending Adolescents (n=144) reported having used an illicit substance at least once during their lifetime. After adding significantly associated covariates into a logistic regression model, we found that only truancy [OR= 2. 29 (CI=1. 07– 4. 90)], suicide ideation [OR=4. 36 (2. 32 – 8. 19)] and parents who had checked their Adolescents' homework (OR=0. 56 (CI=0. 32 – 1. 00)] were significantly associated with reported Substance use. Conclusions: Our results suggest that health promotion programs should simultaneously target multiple factors associated with Substance use behaviors among school-attending Adolescents in Dar es Salaam. They should take into account the range of psychosocial characteristics of school-attending Adolescents which may be impacted by or result from Substance use.
