Evaluation of NDLEA Radio Campaign Influence on Drug Abuse among Youths in On...inventionjournals
Drug abuse has a devastating consequence for individuals, families and society. It has wrecked the fortunes of many youths who roam the streets as mental cases, abandoned to their fate by society. The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, has established radio public affairs programmes to address drug abuse related issues in Anambra State. It becomes necessary to ascertain if the radio campaign has led to the reduction of drug abuse among youths in Onitsha. The survey research method was used to obtain and analyze data from youths residing in Onitsha metropolis, as potential and real uses of banned drugs. The purposive sampling method was used to deal with issues related to sample size and its allocation to study units within the area of study. It is the consequence of an interface between processed information and its implication for the youth receiver that is the focus of this study.

Stigma and discrimination associated with mental illness are a common occurrence in the Sub-Saharan region including Eritrea. Numerous studies from Sub-Saharan Africa suggest that stigma and discrimination are major problems in the community, with negative attitudes and behavior towards people with mental illness being widespread. In order to assess the whether such negative attitudes persist in the context of Eritrea this study explored the knowledge and perceptions of 90 Eritrean university students at the College of Business and Economics, the University of Asmara regarding the causes and remedies of mental illness A qualitative method involving coded self-administered questionnaires administered to a sample of 90 university students to collecting data at the end of 2019. The survey evidence points that almost 50% of the respondents had contact with a mentally ill person suggesting that the significant number of the respondents experienced a first-hand encounter and knowledge of mental illness in their family and community. The findings show an overall greater science-based understanding of the causes of mental illness to be followed by recommended psychiatric treatments. The survey evidence indicates that the top three leading causes of mental illness in the context of Eritrea according to the respondents are brain disease (76%), bad events in the life of the mentally ill person (66%) and substance abuse or alcohol taking, smoking, taking drugs like hashish. (54%). The majority of the respondents have a very sympathetic and positive outlook towards mentally ill persons suggesting that mentally illness does not simply affect a chosen individual rather it can happen to anybody regardless of economic class, social status, ethnicity race and religion. Medical interventions cited by the majority of the respondents as being effective treatments for mental illness centered on the idea that hospitals and clinics for treatment and even cures for psychiatric disease. Changing perceptions of mental illnesses in Eritrea that paralleled the very caring and sympathetic attitudes of the sample university students would require raising public awareness regarding mental illness through education, using the mass media to raise public awareness, integrating mental health into the primary health care system, decentralizing mental health care services to increase access to treatment and providing affordable service to maintain positive treatment outcomes.

ADDITION AFFECTING OVERALL DEVELOPMENT: Annotated Bibliography
Addiction is something that a lot of people deal with. Addition in all its entirety is whether substance and drug abuse related addiction or behavioral related addiction, plays a very crucial role in impending development. Here development entails personal life development, society development or the national development of a country. Thus it is the priority of every person, society, government and organizations to try and curb this menace.
The understanding of addiction (its nature, its causes, and its effects) is the only rational way of controlling its demise. There have been numerous studies, researches and experiments conducted to try and understand the basis underlying addiction. The following is a list of the various articles on this endeavor.

Terry and Kent review the theoretical explanations of how the transition from casual to compulsive drug use happens. They focus on how the use of drugs causes changes to the psychological function of a person leading to addiction. According to them the pleasure from the use of a given drug doesn’t lead to addiction which contrasts the hedonic views of addiction. Another common theory they rule out on transition to addiction is relief from withdrawal symptoms. Aberrant theory is also ruled out in that abnormalities of associate learning do not lead to addiction. They suggest that addiction is brought about by an abnormal generation of incentive salience by the neural system leading to cognitive deficits. Thus according to them addiction starts from the brain itself.

Children have also been identified to indulge in drugs to escape emotional and physical abuse by family members or step-parents. Some of the measures that has been put up to control the epidemic are; creating of rehabilitation programs for street children, treating the addicts by detoxification, governments investing more on the fight of drug trafficking etc. Elsavador is the leading country in the fight of drugs in the region.

Introduction
In the American Criminal Justice System, many young adults commit delinquency acts. In this paper, the goal of this research is to find out if the use of any controlled substance or any illegal drug incite male juveniles in high school delinquency. I hypothesize that if male juveniles that attend high school consume any controlled substances or illegal drug, then their crime commission or delinquency rates will increase. If male juveniles that attend high school commit crime or delinquency acts, and they do not consume controlled substances or illegal drugs, their crime rates will go down or remain the same.
Population of Interest
For this research, the population of interest will be male juveniles of American nationality who attend a public high school in Chicago, Illinois.
Unit of Analysis
The unit of analysis proposed to analyze for this research will be individuals. Individual students who get studied in a research can be less likely to be influenced by peers or any outside source.
Variables of Interest
Attributes of the variables are important in this research. The male juveniles chosen will be between the ages of 12 to 17. The ethnicity or race of the juveniles are not important to this research, because it is not quantitative. It might be important for a research that is looking to know how many juveniles from certain race commit delinquent acts, but in this research, the goal is to find out if the consumption of any controlled substance or illegal drug alter juvenile delinquency rates. A controlled substance is any substance or medication that people use to get high. An illegal drug, is any substance that cannot be used under a certain age, or that cannot be used at all in the United States. These definitions bring us to the meaning of juvenile delinquency, which is any deviant behavior or delinquent act that juveniles commit during the course of adolescence or at a certain age that is between twelve and seventeen. This definition relates to the questions in the survey that ask about the juvenile committing any delinquent acts or deviant behaviors. The independent variable in this research is the drug or illegal substance that the juvenile consumes before the commission of a delinquent act. The dependent variable is the delinquent act itself depending on the consumption of illegal drugs or controlled substances. It is the dependent variable because as we hypothesized, if the juvenile does not take drugs or if he does not use controlled substances then the delinquency rate will probably go down. The control variable is the situations that happen to the juvenile when he is outside of school. Problems at home, child abuse, child neglect, being a victim of bullying, parents that abuse illegal substances, parents or family members that abuse alcohol in front of the juvenile amongst other, are examples of what could be considered the control variab.

The article, “Familial Risk Factors Favoring Drug Addiction Onset” by Jadranka
and Vlado is a study that is aimed at identification of domestic risks that favor drug
addiction onset. Based on research carried out, it is evident that most families are affected
by drugs because of influence within the families. As described in the article, research
carried out between the year 2008 and 2009 reviews that most born addicted to drugs are
born into families where the use of drugs is common. It is evident that the use of drugs
has influenced more than a few issues globally. Most people addicted to drugs are as a
result of influence from their families. Based on the article, it is clear that the authors are
seriously trying to find a solution to familial risk factors that favor drug addiction. Also,
the authors are trying to review appropriate ways that can eliminate the use of drugs
within families.
Based on the article, it is clear that the authors are trying to determine particular
questions through their research. Some of these questions include:
i. What are the major factors that influence or favor the use of drugs within
families?
ii. What are the possible solutions to drug addiction within families?
iii. What are the familial risk factors capable of influencing their psychosocial
development?
Through the research, the authors came up with different opinions about the cause
and effects of drug addiction within families. As described in the article, it is clear that
drug addiction is a global issue that has affected and challenged people over the years.
However, most families have admitted the situation and resolved to live with the issues.
Clearly, the authors used qualitative research method to carry out the research. In general,

Research Statement and Literature Review Assignment
Research Statement
Drug abuse has become one of the most witnessed problems that
face teenagers in the 21st century. In the recent decades,
accessing illegal drugs has continuously become an easy task
for the youth, both school-going and those on the streets. It is
highly alarming to witness the rate at which parents check their
teenage sons and daughters to rehabilitation and counseling
centers. Witnessing a continuous increase in these rates is as
worrying as the imagination of even more increase in the youths
abusing drugs. A string of questions arises concerning the
increased drug abuse by teenagers even those who attend
school. Questions on how, where and what flow concerning the
abuse. It has become overly hard to know how the teenagers
access the drugs, where they get them as well as with what
money they buy the drugs. Another question of ‘who’ arises in
trying to establish who in the society allows themselves give
such young children access to drugs.
Establishing answers to the questions revolving around teenage
drug abuse becomes even harder as each new day; more cases of
substance abusing teenagers are witnessed. Increased
complexity proves just how much work the society has in
regulating drug abuse among teenagers. A closer look at the
patterns of drug abuse among teenagers reveals that dealing
with the problem could just be more complex than one could
assume. Many of the victims of substance abuse know quite
well that it is illegal and tend to be very good at keeping their
3. practices hidden from their parents and teachers. A greater
challenge is therefore presented of establishing the actual
number of teenagers who engage in drug abuse. From a factual
point of view, however, it is impossible to establish the actual
number and in the process, it leaves the choice of making
estimations from the available results of sampled teenagers.
In engaging in a deeper research on the issues of drug abuse by
teenagers, it is possible to establish answers to some of the
questions revolving around the problem. However, a more
important question of focus presents itself on how to reduce the
habit of drug abuse among teenagers. Focusing on answering the
question on how to best deal with the problem gives a chance to
come up with possible ways to reduce if not end the behavior
(Simkin, Thatcher, & Lubar, 2014). Answering the question also
makes one concentrate on solutions other than presenting
findings which do not make any change in the current situation.
The question, therefore, enables a result oriented research
which leads one to a higher possibility of coming to a
conclusion of the best as well as a most effective choice of
solutions. The most suitable research statement would then be
‘how to reduce drug abuse among teenagers’. It will bring the
research process to a more specific point of concentration of
ways to tackle the problem and not find out how intense the
problem is.
Literature Review
In the past number of years, many nations have renewed the
concerns on drug and substance abuse. Many sources claim that
although drug abuse by teenagers might be viewed as a personal
behavior, it is deeply rooted in a Sociocultural setting that
strongly dictates its character. The greatest focus needs to
revolve around psychoactive substances that are used both
legally and illegally. It is highly important to draw differences
between the abuse and use of drugs (Black, 2014). A
multidimensional approach is needed to enable a look at the
aspects of the drug, abusers, the response they demonstrate and
4. the consequences of abuse. Some of the most important aspects
in curbing teenage drug abuse include the existing drug use
extent and patterns, the different causes of use, means of
preventing substance use, possible ways of treatments or
intervention on users. These considerations give a star ting point
to the process of dealing with teenage substance abuse.
However, it is equally important to review the possible
consequences of teenage drug abuse.
In trying to establish the ways to bring teenage substance abuse
to an end, it is a starting point knowing the possible
consequences of drug use. With knowledge of the consequences,
it becomes easier to identify a teenager who engages in drug use
(Maslowsky, O’Malley & Kloska, 2014). When it is possible to
identify the teenagers involved in drug abuse, the process of
establishing solutions would be made easier than engaging in a
trial and error method. With a more solid ground to base the
research on, it is quite more possible to come up with a set of
solutions that would bring forth the answers to the presented
questions. Knowing the consequences of drug abuse, therefore,
would provide an advantage of information to the researchers
enabling them to identify the teenagers who they should focus
on.
There have existed a number of established causes of drug abuse
among teenagers. Bad parenting and failure to parent children
are established as a factor that allows teenagers to access and
use drugs. Conditions of economic deprivation also contribute
to increased numbers of drug using teenagers (Simkin, Thatcher,
& Lubar, 2014). Poverty, poor housing among other
socioeconomic disadvantage indicators contribute in increasing
the number of teenagers involved in drug use and abuse. Places
with such characteristics tend to contain disorganized
neighborhoods, high levels of adult crimes increased residential
mobility and illegal drug trafficking allowing teenagers to
access as well as use the drugs (Espelage, Low & Little, 2014).
It is however not enough to focus on external factors of
causality but to also focus on individual factors that lead youths
5. to drug abuse. Curiosity, depression, peer pressure and the need
for attention among other personal interests and factors lead a
number of youths to drug abuse (Molina, Hinshaw, Swanson &
Greenhill, 2013). It is important to know that not only external
but internal factors lead children to drug abuse.
Engaging in a result and fact focused research enables the
process to come up with a solution other than conclusions. It is
therefore equally important to establish a focus on
consequences as it is of the factors contributing to drug abuse.
Consequences enable easy identification of children under
drugs, while the factors contributing to drug use narrow down
the population of teenagers vulnerable to drug use and abuse
(Gámez-Guadix, Smith & Calvete, 2013). It is, therefore,
important to focus on all the possible causes of drug abuse
among teenagers to make sure that the vulnerable groups are all
considered in the research process. It is also important to
choose a research design wisely enough to maximize the amount
of information available (Black, 2014). Observation would
serve the purpose more perfectly than any other design as the
information is gathered without the subjects’ knowledge which
enables acquisition of all the observed information.
In solving the main question of the research, there are a number
of possible ways to reduce or rather end drug use among
teenagers. Encouraging good and close parenting on teenagers
would serve the purpose to make sure that parents set the
behavioral patterns for their children as well as closely observe
them to reduce any possibilities of them engaging in drug
practices (Winters, Botzet & Lalone, 2012). In environments
and neighborhoods that expose children to drugs, they should be
highly advised against the behavior to minimize the percentage
of them who end up in the practice (Monti, Colby, & Tevyaw,
2012). Laws and regulations should be set and observed
regarding people who allow teenagers to access drugs and
substances for abuse to reduce the availability of drugs for
teenagers to use. Immediate action should also be taken on
teenagers who are realized to be on drugs as it gives the
6. advantage of turning them before they get into the addiction
stage (Bowen et al., 2014).
