Abstract
Background: Substance Abuse is one of the world's biggest health issues. Adolescents are particularly vulnerable. The purpose of this research is to compare the reasons for initiating, maintaining, and abstaining from hazardous drug use among adolescents and young adults.
Objectives: To investigate the prevalence and pattern of drug use among adolescents and young adults, as well as to raise awareness about and prevent substance usage.
Conclusion: The processes of industrialization, urbanization, and migration have resulted in the loosening of traditional social control methods, making an individual vulnerable to the stresses and strains of modern life, and factors related to a child's socialization outside the family may also increase the risk of the drug. However, the successful execution of drug prevention plans, as well as the participation of parents, teachers, society, the media, and nurses in raising awareness of the health and other risks of substance abuse among adolescents, aid in the prevention of substance addiction.
