Abstract:

Scholarship on young adult (YA) literature has long attended to the interrelationship of power, ideology, and narrative. Drawing on this scholarship, we examined a nonfiction text about the opiate epidemic. Using critical comparative content analysis (CCCA), our study examined differences in Dreamland (the original version) and Dreamland (the young adult adaptation) to better understand the changing nature of textual representation when youth become the imagined audience. We found that in the youth adaptation of Dreamland, the implied youth reader is (a) provided less information about the opiate epidemic, which is also delivered in a simpler structure; (b) kept at a greater rhetorical distance from people who might be deemed unsavory, and (c) given a more optimistic view of the opiate epidemic in terms of progress achieved rather than action needed. The youth adaptation of Dreamland, therefore, positions youth as needing simplicity, protection, and a sense of optimism. Our analysis demonstrates how the implied youth reader is a textual byproduct of discourses of adolescence/ts. As youth adaptations continue their prominence in the YA marketplace, scholars and teachers should critically engage how youth are positioned as readers and thinkers by the YA publishing industry. Next steps involve additional studies that focus on the implied (youth) reader through CCCA and studies that involve middle and secondary education students, the real readers of these texts. This study is supplemented by an interview with Sam Quinones, the author of the original version of Dreamland.

Abstract:

Drugs, substance and alcohol abuse by many youths is as a result of various factors. Research conducted in the past have looked at how mass media channels (video and TV) and their influence on abuse of drugs and other substances among the youth. The purpose of this paper is to investigate how drug-related information portrayed on Gengetone music influences drugs and substance abuse among youths in Eldoret town. The research objectives were to investigate how the acceptability level of ‘Gengetone’ music and videos among youths, to examine ways in which ‘Gengetone music lyrics communicate information on drugs, substance and alcohol abuse and establish the effect of listening of Gengetone music on drugs and substance abuse among youths in Uasin Gishu County. The study adopted George Gerbner’s Cultivation Theory. The study utilised descriptive survey. Questionnaires and interviews were utilised to collect data from selected youths aged 20 – 30 years residing in Eldoret town four estates numbering 80 and one county officer in charge of NACADA North Rift office. Analysis of data was done through qualitative (content analysis method) and quantitative approaches (descriptive statistics); The study found out that indeed lyrics, images and videos contained in some Gengetone music promoted drugs, substance and alcohol abuse by young people in the study area. This means that music preference performed a significant role in determining the level of drugs and substance abuse by youth in Eldoret town. This calls for stakeholder involvement in educating the upcoming artist on the importance of developing Gengetone music that is clean and creates awareness on the dangers of youth addiction to drugs, other substances and alcohol.

Abstract:

Youth is the spearhead of the nation's future, if the youth has the potential, then the country must become a developed country. As said by Imam Syafii, RA." For the sake of Allah, the life of youth is hung with knowledge and piety to Allah SWT., If both are not owned by a young man, then the existence of that youth will be dangerous. So youth who are not productive will have the potential to damage their own future, their family, society, religion, homeland and nation. Many youths who do not have knowledge and piety fall into liquor, (alcohol), adultery, drugs, gambling, prostitution, and theft. It is these negative activities that must be eliminated from the youth, youth, towards productive activities based on Faith, Knowledge and Taqwa.

Abstract:

Filipino youths are considered the most valuable resource of the country comprising more than 40 percent of the total Philippine population. This descriptive-correlational study determined the satisfaction level of the 141 samples of young Bicolanos (81 were males and 60 were females) with the Philippine National Police (PNP)’s programs and activities. The multi-stage sampling designs were used to ensure representative samples from each of the six provinces in the Bicol region, Philippines. The gathered quantitative and qualitative data from a validated questionnaire revealed that Bicol youth respondents are generally satisfied with the PNP’s programs and activities in the campaign against criminality, the campaign against illegal drugs, public safety, and public security. The youth respondents in the region felt that they were publicly safe and secure when they observed the PNP’s visible campaigns against criminality and illegal drugs. The paper recommends promoting and enhancing programs and partnerships with the community involving the youth sector such as the out-of-school youth, students, and young professionals.

Abstract:

Youth drug abuse in Zimbabwe has become a topical issue such that hardly a day passes without the mainstream media, social media, and other communication platforms mentioning drug abuse amongst youth and school children. The term new pandemic has been used to describe the drug abuse among Zimbabwe youth after the covid-19 pandemic. Several measures have been put in place by the Government of Zimbabwe to combat the ‘new pandemic’. The measures among them were criminalization of drug victims and suppliers of drugs, however, with limited success. The main objective of the study was to unpack the multidimensional factors that influence youth to indulge in drug abuse in Zimbabwe. The study adopted a qualitative desk research approach to unveil the topical problem. The study reveals the multidimensional influences of youth drug abuse and the multidimensional solutions to the problem. The study was underpinned by two theories: the bioecological and family systems theories. Research findings were that problems of youth drug abuse were a result of drugs being regarded as a business venture, rising urbanization without the corresponding industrialization, socio-economic challenges, social fabric breakdown, youth collective idleness, and unattended/unsupervised children. The study recommends that the nation should embark on a massive exercise to train adolescents, parents, families, communities, and the whole nation to deal with drug abuse among youths. Keywords: Communities; drug abuse; multidimensional family therapy; youth; Zimbabwe

Abstract:

Youth who use drugs (YWUD) are likely to encounter the police and experience victimization within those encounters. Negative experiences of police among youth can dramatically undermine youths’ trust in police, making them unlikely to ask for help when they need it. In this article, we use Rance and Fraser’s concept of “accidental intimacies” between staff and people who inject drugs arising in encounters within supervised consumption sites. Their exploration of Sarah Ahmed’s work on the social productivity of emotions argues that new subjectivities that counter or transform stigma and shame surrounding drug use can occur from the space between individuals. For Ahmed “emotions do things, and work to align individuals with collectives—[linking] bodily space with social space—through the very intensity of their attachments.” During 2017–2018, 38 youth (aged 16–30 years) who use drugs in three cities in British Columbia, Canada, were interviewed to explore their encounters (both positive and negative) with police and how these influenced their perceptions of police. In this article, we assert that the dynamic of “we” and “them,” of the YWUD and police, is constituted in part through the powerful emotions created and confirmed by negative bodily encounters where the bodies of youth and police collide through physical and/or verbal contact. The repetition of emotions and objectification through stigma within their communities force some youth to repeatedly confront harmful subjectivities. Rance and Fraser’s work provides possibilities for shifting these stigmatizing subjectivities. For change to occur, addressing the historical and present realities that impact YWUD will help facilitate and enhance more respectful communication and interactions between YWUD and police. Bodily encounters may also present opportunities for both YWUD and police to reflect on the subjectivities that reinforce and are shaped by their negative interactions with one another. Incremental change may be possible as we find new meanings in youths’ understanding of and compassion for police and their work.

Abstract:

Aims: High alcohol consumption and use of illicit drugs among young people is of great concern and there is a need to identify arenas where this group can be reached by preventive measures. The aim of the present study was to study prevalence of risky alcohol consumption, illicit drug use, and risky sexual behaviour (RSB) among young people visiting youth health clinics in Stockholm county. Another aim was to explore the association between risky alcohol consumption, illicit drug use and RSB. Methods: During autumn 2016, an anonymous questionnaire comprising questions about alcohol, illicit drugs and risky sexual behaviour was given to visitors at 11 youth health clinics in Stockholm county. Results: A total of 328 youths ( M = 18.8 years, 89% girls) answered the questionnaire. Results show that 61.7% had risky alcohol consumption and 41.8% had tried illicit drugs. Risky sexual behaviour was more prevalent among respondents with risky alcohol consumption, and it was more common among non-students than students. Conclusions: Findings indicate that a large proportion of visitors at youth health clinics in Stockholm county has a risky alcohol consumption and experiences of other drugs, and also that risky alcohol consumption is associated with three of five RSB outcomes. Non-students seemed to be a particularly exposed risk group with regard to both risky alcohol consumption and RSB. Overall, the results indicate that youth health clinics are an important arena for alcohol prevention.

Abstract:

Drug involvement, conceptualized as drug use frequency, drug access, drug use control, and adverse use consequences, is described and compared among two randomly selected groups of students aged fourteen to nineteen years: 203 low-risk typical high-school students and 160 youths at high-risk of school problems and dropout. High-risk youth, compared to low-risk youth and national statistics, endorsed a much greater breadth and depth of drug use, greater access to drugs, less drug use control, and greater adverse consequences due to use. A secondary analysis showed low-risk users (experimenters) were similar to high-risk youth in their access to drugs and eroding drug use control, but showed low frequencies of drug use and negligible adverse use consequences. Measuring and exploring these four facets of drug involvement provided a robust picture of the adolescents' drug milieu and revealed differences in patterns of drug involvement that would not have been evident by looking purely at drug use frequency. Implications for prevention programming are suggested.

The study attempted to answer several questions: Does the cultural and social background of immigrant youth from the Former Soviet Union (FSU) affect their use of addictive substances? Do these youth show distinctive patterns of drug and alcohol abuse? Do the addictive substances used by these teenagers share similar characteristics? Are the patterns of drug abuse and alcohol abuse different? Do students in different educational frameworks demonstrate different consumption patterns? Can “critical moments” explain the presence or absence of alcohol and drug abuse?

Abstract:

This study quantifies the prevalence of substance use among youth in the Eti-Osa Local Government Area of the Lagos Metropolitan Region. This research examines both in and out-of-school youths in a cross-sectional manner. Using a multistage sampling method, four hundred respondents were chosen as the sample population from the Eti-Osa LGA population. Data were gathered using a quantitative, then analysed using SPSS. The study indicated that the group under observation had a high knowledge of problematic substance use (93.5%). That substance use was common and most prevalent in male youth. Indian Hemp and Tramadol were the two most complex substances most frequently consumed. Nonetheless, codeine was more frequently ingested by the individuals under study. These drugs are pretty widely available and reasonably priced. Friends (they inspired 88% of users), followed by social media (41%), movies and entertainment (48%), and other sources (48%). The use of drugs is increasing and could soon become out of control. The government must provide the youths with proper management and control through education, campaigns, and counselling.

Abstract:

The use of narcotic substances has become a phenomenon of great concern, not only in Kosovo but also in all other countries of the world. Although in Kosovo there are no accurate statistics on how many individuals are regular users of narcotic substances, it is calculated that there are approximately 20. 000 users. To add to this concerning issue, is the fact that the usage of narcotics in elementary and secondary school pupils and students. The objective of this paper is to offer a more realistic presentation of the cases of narcotic users from the new age groups. The goal is to identify the factors that influence the increase of this phenomenon, which is increasing specifically among the youth and is dangerous for public health and the public order and safety. The Kosovo Institutions have approved a National Strategy and action plan for Fighting the Use of Narcotic that is now being implemented. According to the Kosovo Police this strategy has had some positive results. Kosovo Police held more than 150 operations a year in all Kosovo, with a goal of issuing prosecutorial charges against suspected individuals that are active in different individual and group forms, regarding the cultivation and trafficking of drugs. According to the statistics from the Kosovo Police, during the 2012 there was a significant increase of confiscated narcotic substances in comparison with 2011, the percentage of the confiscation of Marihuana has increased around 400%. The use of narcotics among young people is considered as a growing phenomenon. I consider that this is primarily a result of the lack of awareness among the youth regarding the potential dangers for health and social aspects, and lack of specialized institutions for treatment and rehabilitation of the addicted individuals. Lack of appropriate institutional treatment of this phenomenon represents a danger not only for public health but for the safety and public order in general.

Abstract:

A new German regulation provides for an extensive medico-psychological testing procedure in cases of suspected cannabis use, to be paid for by the driving license holder who is placed under suspicion. A brief account of the pertinent German legislation is presented, and the test measures are analyzed and criticized, using data from a representative survey conducted in the city of Bremen. Cannabis use, although a common feature of youth culture, is causally involved in comparatively few traffic accidents. Viewing the recent regulation, together with a pervasively negative estimation of cannabis effects by the older generations, the test measures are interpreted as part of a general strategy in an ongoing generational conflict.

Abstract:

This paper estimates the effects of fatal school shootings on youth psychotropic drug use over the subsequent five and a half years. Using an event study approach that compares trends in drugs prescribed by providers practicing close to a school shooting relative to those practicing slightly farther away, we find that fatal school shootings lead to large increases in youth psychotropic drug use that persist for years after the event. These effects are driven primarily by increases in prescriptions for antid epressants and antipsychotics and are observed among both youths who were previously taking psychotropic medication and those who were not.

Abstract:

Summary Whether or not at-risk youth eschew illicit drugs because of its expected harm remains uncertain. In theory, expectancy is influential when the harm is valuable to the youth. Hence, to examine this possibility, this study employed a prospective design to collect data from 169 at-risk youths identified by social workers in Hong Kong, China. Findings Results revealed that when a youth has higher expectancy and valuation of harm in the baseline survey, he/she had considerably more drug-free days in the follow-up survey. However, neither the expectancy nor valuation alone introduced an effect on drug-free days. Applications These results sustained approaches to fostering the expectancy and valuation of harm for effective drug rehabilitation. Specifically, the approaches required to raise the expectancy of youth on the harm of drug abuse to their vigour and the value of sustaining their vigour simultaneously.

Abstract:

Terrorism, armed robbery, ritual killings, and other sundry criminal acts have put Nigeria’s security under pressure. Insecurity is now a daily topic of discussion in all parts of the country. More disturbing is the fact that most perpetrators of criminal acts associated with insecurity are youth who abuse drugs. Yet, there seems to be a paucity of studies that probe some of the root causes of insecurity in Nigeria. This study, which relied on Social Learning Theory, measured the level of exposure youth have to illicit drugs via social media; established the relationship between illicit drugs consumption and crime/insecurity, and examined the role the media can play in curbing the consumption and/or use of illicit drugs. It used a quantitative research method. Three hundred twenty-two copies of a questionnaire were administered to students of Delta State University of Science and Technology, Ozoro, Delta State, Nigeria selected through a simple sampling technique. Results showed some youth get to know about illicit drugs through social media. A correlation was also found between illicit drug consumption and insecurity. The media can help curb drug abuse by the youth through enlightenment campaigns, among others. The study concluded that the attainment of appreciable security in Nigeria may remain a mirage without adequately addressing the issue of drug abuse. Thus, it was recommended that the media should create more awareness about the negative implications of illicit drug use by the youth by pointing out the dangers associated with drug abuse.

Abstract:

In the early 1980s the term “straight edge” was coined to describe a youth subculture within the punk rock scene, a subculture that chose a lifestyle that abstained from alcohol, tobacco and drugs as well as promiscuous sex. While considered a smaller youth scene today than in its peak years of the late 1980s, straight edge has evolved into an international, more complex subculture with several different strands. This paper explores the youth subculture of straight edge, with a special focus on how they construct and signify their abstinence from alcohol and other drugs while often participating in a music scene and a youth culture that embrace their use. An analysis of the language surrounding alcohol, other drugs and abstinence on their Internet websites provides the data for this exploratory, qualitative research. The paper concludes with speculation about the future of this side branch of the American abstinent tradition.

Abstract:

Drug abuse and drug menace refer to the illegal, non-medical use of a limited number of chemicals, the majority of which has the property of altering a person's mental state in ways that are deemed improper, undesirable, unpleasant, and hazardous to the user's life and the lives of others. Alcohol, heroin, cocaine, opium, and marijuana are some of the narcotics that are overused. Adolescents appear to be the primary focus of this drug threat and abuse. The immediate causes of drug addiction among youth are curiosity, peer pressure, and the availability of drugs such as cigarettes and alcohol. When friends are in the company of bad friends, especially in senior high schools, they are pressured to use drugs. On our television and radio stations, there is a "naked" advertisement for alcohol, cigarettes, and other non-medicated substances, these are dangerous medications that are being promoted as effective performance enhancers. These drugs are even advertised to the public as a laxative, and the most aggravating part is that locations, where they may be purchased in big numbers, are advertised. The availability of drugs to society's youth and society is both a cause of cancer. Today's youth are inquisitive. They want to see if whatever they see and hear is effective. This insatiable curiosity can sometimes be dangerous, even lethal. Some people become addicted to drugs as a result of their curiosity. The author of this paper intends to look into the causes, effects, and control of this problem, as well as the social and cultural aspects of drug usage.

Abstract:

ObjectiveThrough the voices of racially ethnically marginalized adolescents (N = 85), the present study highlights the ways in which youth access drugs and alcohol within their immediate environmental contexts, while simultaneously underscoring youth's sense of individualism in abstaining from substance use—both a cause and consequence of their socioecological circumstances.MethodsThe current study was part of a larger Drug Free Communities (DFC) grant initiative that focused on preventing the use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs among urban adolescents through environmental-community based strategies. A sample of 85 youth were recruited from existing summer programs throughout the target city. Youth participants were engaged in 11 focus groups that were guided by five semi-structured interview questions. Data were analyzed using a constant comparative approach.FindingsFindings illustrated three overarching themes: (1) “People Get Ahold of Drugs”: Numerous Environmental Access Points; (2) “The Cops Won't Do Anything”: The Limits of Perceived Support; and (3) “You Gotta Be Strong Minded”: The Embrace and Reality of Individualism. Through these themes, youth described the accessibility of drugs and alcohol in their community, while simultaneously juxtaposing these narratives with discussions of strategies in abstaining from substances. Data suggested that youth were exposed to numerous access points to substances and described minimal social support to abstain from drugs and alcohol. Youth embraced a narrative of individualism and viewed themselves as solely responsible for staying away from substances.ConclusionFindings provide useful insights for mental health and social work practice and are discussed within the context of neoliberal policies that limit access to resources and place the blame of substance use on the individual. Recommendations emphasize the significance of enhancing youth's community connection and the perception that others, such as social workers and other adult allies, are also interested in their success.

Abstract:

Respondent-driven sampling (RDS) has been widely used for recruiting hard-to-sample populations, particularly men who have sex with men and people who inject drugs from large urban centers. The aim of this article was to examine the feasibility of using RDS among nonmetropolitan youth who use drugs. Between May 2017 and June 2018, RDS was used to recruit youth who use drugs, ages 16–30, in three nonmetropolitan Canadian cities. All participants completed a 1-hr interviewer-administered survey. Youth received $25 for the interview, up to five coupons to recruit peers and $5 per coupon returned. Crude and RDS-weighted descriptive statistics were produced using RDS-II weights as were homophily (the tendency for people to be similar) and network size estimates. Statistically significant differences between seeds and recruits were identified using logistic regression. A subsample of recruits participated in qualitative interviews ( n = 38). Data from these interviews were inductively analyzed to identify barriers that could be used to explain the challenges with chain-referral recruitment among this population. In total, 449 youth were recruited. Due to unproductive chains, 57.2% ( n = 257) of the sample was comprised of seeds and 322 (72%) did not have a single coupon returned. Barriers to recruiting other youth included logistical challenges, fear of police, concerns about confidentiality, stigma of substance use, and poor financial incentive. Our study shows that RDS can be used to reach younger participants but also highlights the need for formative research and flexibility in recruitment to help mitigate unsuccessful RDS among nonmetropolitan youth who use drugs.

Abstract:

PurposeThis study examined how youth would mitigate non-medical use of prescription medication among their peers.Design/methodology/approachThe National Monitoring of Adolescent Prescription Stimulants Study (N-MAPSS) was conducted as an interview comprising 11,048 youth of 10–18 years of age between 2008 and 2011 from entertainment venues of 10 US urban, suburban, and rural areas. Using a mixed-methods approach, participants completed a survey culminating in open-ended questions asking: (1) How should kids your age be informed about prescription drugs and their effects? (2) If you ran the world, how would you stop kids from taking other people’s prescription medicines? (3) Why do people use prescription stimulants without a prescription? Responses from a random sample of 900 children were analyzed using qualitative thematic analyses.FindingsThe random sample of 900 youth (52 percent female, 40 percent white, with a mean age of 15.1 years) believed they should be educated about prescription drugs and their negative effects at schools, at home by parents, through the media, and health professionals. Youth would stop kids from using other people’s prescription drugs through more stringent laws that restricted use, and providing education about negative consequences of use. Peer pressure was the most common reason the youth gave for using other’s pills, though some reported taking them out of curiosity.Originality/valueThe importance of considering youth’s opinions on non-medical use of prescription medications is often overlooked. This evidence, from a peer perspective, could end the illicit use of prescription drugs among today’s youth.

AbstractBackgroundThe risks of suicidality among street-involved youth who use drugs and engage in sex work are not well described. This study sought to evaluate if street-involved youth who engage in sex work were at an elevated risk for attempting suicide.MethodsData were derived from the At-Risk Youth Study, a prospective cohort of street-involved youth who use drugs in Vancouver, Canada. Multivariable generalized estimating equation analyses were employed to examine whether youth who engaged in sex work were at elevated risk of attempting suicide, controlling for possible confounders.ResultsBetween September 2005 and May 2015, 1210 youth were recruited into the cohort, of whom, 173 (14.3%) reported recently attempting suicide at some point during the study period. In multivariable analysis, youth who engaged in sex work were significantly more likely to report a recent suicide attempt (adjusted odds ratio = 1.93; 95% confidence interval: 1.28–2.91).ConclusionsStreet-involved youth who engage in sex work were observed to be at a significantly higher risk for suicidality. Systematic discrimination and unaddressed trauma may contribute to the observed increased burden of suicidality among this population. Interventions that support the mental health and well-being of street-involved youth who engage in sex work are urgently needed.

Abstract:

One of the things that has always been a problem in society and requiring special attention is drug abuse. Drugs (short for Narcotics, Psychotropic and other dangerous Addictive Substances) are materials/substances which, when entered into the human body, either physically or Oral/drink, inhaled, or injected, can change thoughts, moods or feelings, and behavior of a person. Drugs can cause physical and psychological dependence (addiction). This community service activity is carried out Community participation in the form of socializing the impact of drug abuse in the community is one of the comprehensive countermeasures. Pre-experimental research methods and types of field research with counseling and mentoring approaches character to youth organization (Karang Taruna). The activity is the increasing knowledge about the impact of drug abuse in the community by optimizing information technology-based. The youth problems were obtained during the activities, then the problem solving was presented at the end of the activity. The results of the activity showed that the youth organization had understood the dangers of drugs abuse for their character building. In addition, they were eager to inform the results of activities to the other friends. As the educational institution that is very close to their environment, University of Mercubuana is expected to continue to give guidance and support for the adolescents' activities.
