Drug abuse is a problem that has increased behavioural problems such as aggression, violence and eating disorders.

While there are many different kinds of drugs, the proposed study is focusing on marijuana, khat ‘Mairungi’, nicotine, aviation and alcohol. The research is examining how the abuse of these drugs is related with behavior of aggression, eating disorder and violence. This research is carried out in Katwe slums in Makindye Division, Kampala district. | en_US |
