Local Study: Most Jordanian Youth Use Substances
A local study conducted in collaboration with UNICEF revealed that 70% of children and young people in Jordan have previously used at least one common substance of abuse, such as cigarettes, shisha, electronic smoking products, or energy drinks. The study attributed the first experience of use to curiosity, with half of the participants trying energy drinks, most of whom were influenced by peers or family and social factors, despite a high awareness of potential harms. The study emphasizes that awareness alone is not sufficient and that family and psychological support are essential to reduce risky behaviors and achieve prevention. It also highlights the need to develop programs and policies based on scientific evidence to protect young people from these dangers.
