Policy Brief on Status of Drugs and Substance Abuse among Primary School Pupils in Kenya
Abstract
Studies in Kenya indicate that drugs and substance abuse among young people in learning institutions is a growing social and public health problem. Most of these studies have, however, focused on young persons who are in high school or in higher levels of education (or older than 14 years). This presents a challenge as drug and substance abuse may begin at an earlier age. This scenario has resulted in limited evidence on drugs and substance abuse among primary school pupils. This survey therefore endeavors to assess the level of knowledge, attitudes and use of drugs and substances of abuse among primary school pupils in Kenya
