“…In addition, students who have lived in a place where PS use is common are more likely to use it in university [34, 35]. In addition, students with family/relatives who use PS such as alcohol, khat, and cigarettes [6, 7, 9, 20] are more likely to use these substances in university.…”

“…These studies revealed factors related to PS use including peer influence, academic reasons (including wakefulness for reading), recreation, and anxiety management [7, 9, 15–17]. Mass media advertisement of alcohol beverages for example, is also reported as a factor [11, 18–20]. However, the quantitative approach used in previous studies resulted in restricted capacity to explore the range and depth of the these associated factors to use substance among this population.…”

Background Psychoactive substance (PS) use is a public health concern among University students. Understanding the factors underlay the use helps to underpin effective preventive interventions. However, there is dearth of exploratory studies on the drivers of psychoactive substance use in Ethiopian universities. Here, we aimed to explore the drivers for psychoactive substance use among Mekelle University undergraduate students. Methods Exploratory qualitative study was conducted from April 1 to May 30, 2017. We conducted five focus group discussions (FGDs) and eleven in-depth interviews (IDIs) with students, proctors and bar owners. We also conducted three round interviews within two weeks interval with each of four key-informant researchers (KIR). Participants were selected purposively and the investigators conducted the discussions and the interviews using semi-structured guides. Data were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim and imported into qualitative data analysis software for coding and analysis. An inductive approach was applied to crystalize non-repetitive emerging themes overarching the drivers for psychoactive substance use among university students. Results The following themes emerged as drivers for psychoactive substance use among University students; (1)feeling helpless following detachment from family, (2) prior experience with substances, (3) socialization reasons, (4) low academic performance, (5) physical environment (explained by easy access to substance and limited recreational alternatives), and (6) sub-optimal organizational support. Conclusions Multiple drivers that range from individual to structural levels are involved in university student’s use of psychoactive substances, with socialization process at the center of the factors. Thus, the study appeals for a range of multifaceted interventions directed to the individual, interpersonal and organizational level factors.

“…Although adolescents are aware of the risks present in the infraction, greater investments are needed for health education, considering that the lifestyle adopted in adolescence can have a significant impact on their health in adulthood and the importance of valuing this context for reflection of the healthdisease process in front of the institutionalized adolescent. Nursing, as a science that values health education as a tool for care, is able to act directly in response to these demands, guiding paths and possibilities for health promotion in the scenario at hand, developing lectures, educational games, group dynamics, discussion groups and other activities that can be translated into a reflective educational moment (18) .…”

“…3 It is identified in the literature that, during adolescence, there is greater vulnerability to the first contact with alcohol and points to the freedom of parents, the influence of the family environment, low prices, ease of access, the influence of groups and advertisements as contributing factors to the early consumption of alcohol use. 4 In this perspective, it is noteworthy that the Child and Adolescent Statute (CAS) makes the conduct of those who sell, supply, administer or deliver alcoholic beverages and other products capable of causing physical or mental dependence in children or adolescents criminal. However, these practices are still observed.…”
