TEXT A
SUBSTANCE ABUSE SCARE
1 Alcohol and drug use among children and adolescents are causes of
increasing concern in South Africa. They are major contributors to crime,
violence and intentional and unintentional injuries, as well as to other social,
health and economic problems. Children's and adolescents' substance use
can be accounted for by a multiplicity of factors at the societal, community,
5
school, familial and individual levels. A combination of universal, selected
and indicated intervention strategies are needed to prevent their substance
use problems. In addition, effective specialist services, although inadequate
in South Africa, are essential for treating young people who already have
substance use disorders.
10
2 The use of psychoactive substances (changing an individual's consciousness,
mood or thinking processes) by children and adolescents globally and in South
Africa is of major concern, particularly given young people's increased access
to legal and illegal substances, increases in rates of use of certain drugs, and
resultant unintentional and intentional injuries and other problems.
15
Alcohol, tobacco and cannabis are the substances that are most commonly
used by children and adolescents in South Africa. They are major causes of
violence and crime, injury, and other social problems including sexual risk
behaviours, earlier initiation of sex, scholastic problems, school drop-out and
mental and physical health problems.
20
3 Most of those who use illegal drugs, such as cannabis, tend to first use
alcohol and/or tobacco. Among learners in Grades 811 in a national survey
of high schools conducted in 2008, half (50%) reported ever having drunk
alcohol, just under one third (30%), ever having smoked cigarettes, and 13%
ever having used cannabis in their lifetime. Almost a third (29%) indicated
25
having engaged in binge drinking during the preceding one-month period.
Rates of illicit drug use are particularly high among young people in South
Africa. Already in 2002, the rates of use of some illicit drugs among young
people were found to be higher than those of their counterparts in the United
States.
30
4 Rates of entry into substance abuse treatment centres in South Africa have
increased among adolescents since the 1990s. Between one fifth and one
quarter of the complement of patients in specialised treatment centres in
South Africa are under 20 years of age. The range of drugs for which
treatment is sought has also increased, with cannabis being the most

commonly abused drug among adolescent treatment seekers. In some
parts of the country a high proportion of adolescents in treatment have
alcohol (Mpumalanga and Limpopo), Mandrax (Eastern Cape), heroin
(KwaZulu-Natal) and methamphetamine (Western Cape) as primary
drugs of abuse.
40
5 Young people who are involved in criminal activities seem to be
disproportionately involved in using substances. A study of 999 arrestees in
police holding cells in Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg found that
those who were under the age of 20 years were more likely (66,0%) than
arrestees of all ages (45,3%) to test positive for use of any drugs. They
45
were also more likely to test positive for each of the drugs tested, which
included cannabis, Mandrax, cocaine, amphetamines, benzodiazepines and
opiates.
6 Both the perpetration and experience of violence are associated with alcohol
and other drug use among children and adolescents. Substance use is
50
recognised to be a major contributor to school violence, along with other
factors that can foster an environment that is not conducive to teaching or
learning. Bullying (as a perpetrator, and as a perpetrator / victim) is
associated with alcohol use among young people. Methamphetamine use
was associated with aggressive or delinquent behaviour among high school 55
learners in a study conducted in Cape Town. Other school studies have
found that alcohol use was associated with being a victim of sexual assault
and sexual abuse. In a community-based study, it was found that
adolescents who used substances (such as tobacco, alcohol and cannabis)
frequently were more likely than those who rarely or never used them to
60
experience multiple violent acts.
7 Decisions about how best to address substance abuse problems should take
cognisance of the nature of the community for which intervention efforts are
intended. Consequently, prior to embarking on prevention intervention
projects in any particular community, it is important to conduct an initial
65
baseline situation assessment to determine the particular drugs that are
used, the substance-related problems that are of most concern, and the risk
and protective factors that are likely to apply to young people in that
community. In addition, an evaluation component is a useful adjunct to new
policy and programmatic interventions in order to determine whether and
70
how one's efforts are impacting on the communities being targeted.
