Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Health - Public Health, grade: B+ (70), Obafemi Awolowo University, language: English, abstract: The work is focused about substance use and drug addiction in Nigeria. The sub-sections explored the existing landscape of substance use/drug abuse domestically and globally while discussing the illicit use of psychoactive substances and their global health implications. Lastly, management of drug addiction was treated. In Nigeria for instance, there have been growing concerns from various stakeholders from parents of drugs addicts to government regulatory agencies on the burden of drug abuse. The scourge of substance abuse is not limited to the individual; till date its far-reaching implications continues to fuel organized crime, illicit financial flows, corruption, and terrorism/insurgency among others. There is therefore, need for more proactive steps to eliminate substance use problems across various demographics across the country. Interventions should also be considered amid social, cultural and economic variables that persistently stimulate the behaviour.

This section is created to address a particular area of interest which is drug abuse among Nigerian youths. It is an important topic and that is explored in this book. Chapter one is an overview on drug abuse among the young people in Nigeria. It also covers the views of different scholars and health institutions on the subject matter. Substance abuse has done more harm than good to youths all over the world. In chapter two of the book, the area of concentration is on the effects of marijuana on Nigeria youths. This plant happens to be one of the most abused drugs in the country. As a result of that, the chapter digs deeper on its effects. There are so many other drugs that are abused by people within the age of 18 to 35 in the Federal Republic of Nigeria. These drugs in general have their side effects. Chapter three of this book covers these side effects. Irrespective of the increase in the abuse of drugs in Nigeria, the challenge can be addressed. But, this needs team effort to get it resolved. Our youths can still stay clean from drugs if certain lifestyles and practices are adopted. In the chapter four, discussed are solutions to drug abuse among Nigerian youths. Chapters five and six discuss drug abuse in Nigerian tertiary institutions and tackling the abuse in the institutions respectively. Substances are abused much in Nigerian schools today. So many students have lost focus in what they were sent to school to do because of drugs. Chapter five and six explain the topic properly.

It is lucidly and powerfully argued and constitutes a significant achievement. The authors sensibly argue that in order to fully understand and explain drug use and abuse it is necessary to take into account different levels of analysis, reflecting distinct domains of human functioning; the biological, psychosocial, and cultural-historical....Overall, this book represents an exceptional achievement and should be of interest to drug clinicians and researcher as well as social scientists and students." --Professor Tony Ward, University of Melbourne Substance use and abuse are two of the most frequent psychological problems clinicians encounter. Mainstream approaches focus on the biological and psychological factors supporting drug abuse. But to fully comprehend the issue, clinicians need to consider the social, historical, and cultural factors responsible for drug-related problems. Substance Use and Abuse: Cultural and Historical Perspectives provides an inclusive explanation of the human desire to take drugs. Using a multidisciplinary framework, authors Russil Durrant and Jo Thakker explore the cultural and historical variables that contribute to drug use. Integrating biological, psychosocial, and cultural-historical perspectives, this innovative and accessible volume addresses the fundamental question of why drug use is such a ubiquitous feature of human society. provides an inclusive explanation of the human desire to take drugs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides guidance on policies and legislation with regards to availability, accessibility, affordability and control of medicines made from substances regulated under the international drug control conventions, herein referred to as "controlled medicines". Their scope encompasses "all controlled medicines", but with a specific focus on essential medicines. Controlled medicines play an important role in several areas of medicine, including pain treatment, treatment of opioid dependence, emergency obstetrics, psychiatry and neurology. The availability, accessibility and affordability of controlled medicines are important issues for all countries, but problematic for most of them. The World Health Organization (WHO) promotes governments, civil society and other interested individuals to strive for the maximum public health outcome of policies related to these medicines. WHO considers the public health outcome to be at its maximum (or "balanced") when the optimum is reached between maximizing access for rational medical use and minimizing substance abuse. Policy-makers, academia, civil society and other individuals whose area of work or interest is drug control or public health may potentially work with these guidelines in order to ensure that better use is made of controlled medicines and that more patients benefit from the advantages that their rational use can offer.

Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2022 in the subject Sociology - Children and Youth, grade: Final Year, Osun State University (Global Affairs and Sustainable Development Institute), course: Sociology, language: English, abstract: Drug misuse among youths creates harm to social and biological lifestyles, yet affects legitimate economic activities in society. In spite of the fact that poly-drug use and illegal use of drug is a crime, many youths still indulged in it due to the merriment moment they derive from it. In the light of these, some selected youth in Ede, Osun State made it known to the researcher that they consume drugs to reason well or meditate and to eliminate phobia. Not only that, but illicit drugs use among youths has ravaged Nigeria. The social and biological implications of drugs prevailing in the area and especially the knowledge and attitude to drug usage, the types of drugs being consumed, drug use pattern and evolving risk behaviour and factors influencing the usage of drugs among youth, thus seem worth of exploration. It is on this basis that this study examined the social and biological implication of drug usage among youths in Ede, Osun State. A questionnaire was the main instrument adopted to collect data for the study. A multistage sampling technique was adopted to reach the respondents as a result of which 200 residents of Ede at these selected communities: Orita fogo, Sagba joint, Abogunde Joint, Orita Akala, Atapara joint, Sabo agbongbe, Oke Obada joint, Owode-Ede joint, Laoye joint, Agate, Joint and Isibo Joint in Osun State were involved in the study. At the end of data collection, 200 copies of the questionnaire were retrieved and treated for data analysis. The data generated were analysed and interpreted with the aid of tabular distribution of respondents and simple frequency with percentage.

Pathways of Addiction meets the need for a clear and thoughtful national research agenda that will yield the greatest benefit from today's limited resources. The committee makes its recommendations within the public health framework and incorporates diverse fields of inquiry and a range of policy positions.

The book also examines drug treatment in the criminal justice setting and the effectiveness of drug treatment under managed care. The committee advocates systematic study of the laws by which the nation attempts to control drug use and identifies the research questions most germane to public policy. Pathways of Addiction provides a strategic outline for wise investment of the nation's research resources in drug abuse.
