Research Questions
Report of drug related crime is common in the Philippines media. The main concern
trends to be towards SHABU with gets the most media attention. It does, sent that illegal drug
use is on the rise, and this has worrying implication for the future. There is an urgent need to
educate young people as the to danger of drug use, and there is also a great need help those
who are really addictive to escape their misery. Failure to do this could mean be further
deterioration within many Pilipino communities. The US a significant problems in the Philippines
due to corruption and poor law enforcement. There has particular concern expressed about the
amount of the methamphetamine (shabu) and cannabis production in the area. Drug addiction
appear to be on the rise in Philippines. There are believed to be as many as 6.7 million drugs
abusers according to figure from 2004. This is the dramatic increase from 1972 when there was
only believed to have been around 20,000 drug users in the Philippines. The drugs that is most
abused in the Philippines continues to be alcohol they are second highest consumers of
*alcohol
*Marijuana
*Heroin
*Cocaine
*Inhalants such as nitrates and gasoline. These can be a cheap away for people to get
high.
*Opium
*The individuals who become addicted can become obssed with their habit. This means
*The individual does not have to be abusing a substance like SHABu long before they
become addicted.
*The individuals behavior will change. They may become physically violent or engage in
*Those who Abuse these drug can struggle keep down a job. They may become u
nemployable.
* Young people who use these substances will be unable to perform well in school or
college. This means that they will be limiting their future opportunities.
*When drug users run out of money to feed their habit they will be tempted to turn to
crime. This many means stealing from family and friends or from complete strangers.
*Many addicts fall into a life of crime and eventually end up in prison or worse.
*If the drug addict is unable to escape the behavior it is highly likely to lead to their
death.
*Illegal drug users run the risk of overdose. It can be difficult to assess the strength of
illegal drugs, and it can be similar to playing a game of Russia roulette every time the
addict users these substances it is even possible for people to die of an overdose after
The cost of drug addiction is high for the Philippines and it involves :
This study examined the peer reviewed literature focused on Hawaiian youth and drug
use cover the past 14 years. Consistent with locally generated reports, the peer- reviewed
literature indicates high drug use rate for these youth in multiple studies ,however none of the
locally generated reports, and very few of the peer- reviewed studies, focused on the specific
causes of substance abuse for hawaiian youth. Coupled with the other drug like ice and heroin
for some Hawaiian youth , which is not reflected in this body of research. Peer - reviewed article
are not addressing the harder drugs that community reports as an increasing issue ( withy et
all...2007).Future peer- reviewed research should address the shif from rugs and harder drugs.
This would have implications for understanding and developmental progression of drug
addiction for Hawaiian youth , and can inform intervation for these youth. Overall , the research
suggests that female Hawaiian youth are at greater risk than their male counterparts for a
variety of drug related adverse outcomes( e.g internalizing and externalizing disorder ,
suicidality). To date, however, there are no theories to explain this phenomenon, because few
etiological studies have been conduct. Theories with other indigenous youth population may
offer some explanation for the increased risk to Hawaii girls. For example , Dixon rayle et al
( 2006) found that american Indian girls received significantly more drug offers from cousens
and friends compared to american Indian boys, and also found it significantly more difficult to
refuse drugs from all offerer sources. Other studies have describe how these types of offers
impact decision to use drugs for native girls ( Alexander, Allen, Crawford, and McCormick,
1999).it is likely that female Hawaiian youth may also experience more drugs offers and / may
be targeted by older teens or adults as recipient of drug offers. Hawaiin girls may also find it
more difficult to refuse drug offers than their male counterparts. Future research should
explore gender differences in drug offers to Hawaiin youth, in order to examine these
hypothesis.Female Hawaiian youth have been found to use drugs at higher rates than males;
however, these facts begin to approach each other over time. This is consistent with adults
studies, which suggests that Hawaiian males eventually surpass females in their rates of use
( office of applied studies 2007b) .As youth age, substance use may interact with gender
identity, leading to this shift in substance use rates as youth mature. Helm et al.(2008) suggest
that younger Hawaiian girls may be initiated into drug use by older adolescent male partially
accounting for higher drug use rates for younger girls .however, as younger Hawaiian boy's age,
they may become increasingly exposed to drug use they enter high school ,and their rate of use
begins to increase rapidly.The reason for this shift in drug use rates has yet to be examined, but
could shed light on culturally appropriate and gender specific ways to tailor treatment or
prevention programs for these youth .Finally, research identified specific behavioral
consequences as a result of drug use for Hawaiian boys , such as unsafe sexual practices and
violence. These findings have implications for culturally specific dating violence prevention
programs. They suggest that, in addiction to content on sexual health and interpersonal
violence, these programs should incorporate content related to drugs use and its role in
decision -making within dating situations for Hawaiian youth .The research also suggest that
violence prevention and anger management programs may need to be both culturally specific

accommodate thousand of drugs surenderers needing residential services. Maybe ,based on his
experience ,he really considers some cases as difficult to rehabilitate ,health secretary Pauly
ubial told pappler when asked about president perspective .but for us at the department of
health (DOH) ,there is no such things as a hopeless case. The president campaign against illegal
drugs has no doubt put the spotlight on the problem of addiction in the Philippines, but it has
not encouraged enough discussion on drug addiction as a health problems. In fact, his
approach has put him squarely in contrast with how health practitioners think the problem
should be approached. The public health perspective is the big ,missing element in the
government campaign against drugs.I would say we're about 20 to 30 years behind in our
understanding of drug use Regina hechanova head of the take force on drugs recovery of the
psychological association of the Philippines (PAP) , told rappler .she added the understanding
that our government leaders has ,that's the understanding that our countries had in the
1970s .maybe the attention to it has not been there ,perhaps? Especially in a country like the
Philippines why people are stigmatized ,its not some things that people talk about hechanova
,also a psychology professor at the ateneo de Manila university ,says over understanding of
drugs use needs updating especially in these crucial times. According to the dangerous drugs
board ,those identified as drug abusers and drug dependents can be admitted to residential
TRCs . experimeters ,a social recreatial users ,and habitual users can be treated in out- patient
centers or community- based one's.. World health organization (WHO) representative in the
Philippines gundo weiler said drug dependency occurs when people have developed a
progresses. Weiler said a range of substances, when used, can modify behaviors so that people
continue to use the substance even though there are negative consequences of that substance
use. So while at first ,a drug users might feel they can still control themselves when they use a
substance, weiler said that, over time, the urge to use it would be bigger than the ability to
actually control the use. A drug dependents had developed tolerance if he or she has to
consume more of the substance to achieve the some effect.withdrawal ,meanwhile happens
after the substance has been cleared from the body and the drug user experience craving - a
strong urge to consume again or other symptoms, such as trembling and sweating.so really
,dependence is a complex issue. It develops over time in some pe people who consume
substances and , as an affect, a person who's get a dependency syndrome is really losing some
of their own control over their own use. Drug addiction fareda Fatima Flores of the Philippines
psychiatric association (PAP) said drug dependence is the medical term for drug addiction
Foreign studies
A great deal of literature is available within and outside India on drugs, its use and
abuse. Surveys and studies in general have been made particularly on the incidence of
prevalence of drug abuse among youth and students community .The causative factors of drug
abuse been studied in very general terms quite a number of research works on social factors of
drug abuse have been made in India but only a very limited number of studies on the
psychological aspects are available. Research study of the kind presently undertaken which
pests focus on the social and psychological factors of the drug abusing drop out is relatively non-
existent.In reviewing related literature on drug abuse , the following system of classification has
been followed .The entire chapter has been divide into four sections. The first section present
review of related made a drug prevalence and drug abuse. The second section deals with
studies.
Drug prevalence and drug of abuse according to the ministry of social welfare
government of India, there are 8,11592 drug addicts until December 1992 in India. The statistics
was confined to the those who had registered themselves with some clinic or de- addiction
centers .The unreported cases would be many times the recorded figures.There were 1,000.00
heroin addicts in India and 15,000 were being added each year, as reported by saksena in 1996
in the times of India .About 87.6℅ of drug addiction according to rebello (1988) were between
the ages of 14 and 15 years. There existed 7,00,000 drug addicts and about 30 of them died
daily , unsung uncared and unheard. The most widely abused drug in India according lather
(1993)was hallucinogens,I.e. marijuana group of drug like bhangs ganja, hashish and
charas.Marijuana in the form of bhang has been part of ancient society .snack or brown sugar
was the most harmful drug abused in India the frequently of addicts among Bangalore
university students alone was reported as high as 15% out of an estimated 50,000.Drug abuse
studies conducted the PGI Chandigarh found that Chandigarh and bhatinda had de- addiction
centers where every over 5,000 addicts were registered during 1993-94. They conclude over
1,000 opium addicts. Unfortunately the number of addicts from the poorer section of society
was found to be three times as compared to be from the upper strate of society. A study made
by prashant ( 1993) on large number of drug abusers at a Delhi de- addiction center showed
that drugs which we're abused we're heroin, morphine,codune preparation , diagzepam ,
mitrozun, ganja / charas ,opium, bhang amphetamines, barbiturates and manarax .There was
usually a lot of multiple drug use .A very high percentage of addicts said that drugs were
available easily agraval (1995) observed we're that the worst affected we're the North Eastern
estates of Manipur and negaland .The number of addicts in Manipur alone was estimated to be
around 40,000. This study carried in Manipur by dharma and luwang (1984) showed that there
was an alarming increased in t number of addicts of drugs abusers .Their number increased
from 6 % in 1972 to 23 percent in 1982.Their study when examined over 1,300 drug abusers
revealed that the majority of them ,43.7 percent were using drugs for a period of more than
one year and used injietable drugs like morphine and pethecline ,only 23.60% of abusers were
using oral form of drugs. Gupta and associates (1980) found from their study in Ludhiana that
the highest percentage of addicts hailed from unskilled labour force, followed by school drop
outs among adolescents and Young adults,alcohol and other agrawals study that peer pressure
the most important causative factor where use of drugs was a symbol of modernity .Peer
pressure often combined with curiosity, while depression was so often a fall- out failure in
Danice k et al (2005) conducted a survey on the young risk behavior surveillance system (YRBSS)
which monitors sex categories of priority health risk behavior among youth and young adults
,including behaviors that contribute to unintentional injuries and violence, tobacco, use ,alcohol
and other drugs use ,sexual behaviors that contribute to unintended pregnancy and sexually
transmitted disease (STDs) ,including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections, unhealthy
dietary behavior, and physical inactivity.In addition, the YBRSS monitors general health status
and the prevalence of overweight and asthma. YRBSS includes a natiot school based survey
conducted by CDC and state the local education and health agencies. This report summarize the
results from the national survey, 40 state surveys, and 21 local surveys conducted among
students in grade 9-12 during October 2004 January 2006. The results do include that ,in the
united States,71% of all deaths among persons aged 10-24 years result from four causes : motor
vehicle ,crashes,other unintended injuries ,homicide, and suicide, result from the 2005 national
risk behavior survey (YRBSS) indicated that , during the 30 days preceding the survey many high
school students engaged in behaviors that increased their livelihood of death from these four
causes: 9.9% had driven a car or vehicle when they had been drinking alcohol ,18.5% had
carried a wespon:; 4.3% had drunk alcohol and 20.2 % had used marijuana, In addition, during
than 12 months preceding the survey 35.9% of high school students had been in a physical fight
and 8.4% had attempted suicide. Substantially morbidity and social problems among youth also
result from unintended pregnancies and STDs,including HIV infection .during 2005 ,a total of
46.8% of high school students had been ever had sexual intercourse 37.2% of sexually active
high school students had not used a condom at last sexual intercourse ; and 2.1% had ever
injected and illegal drug.Among adults ages less than 25 years , 61% of all death result from two
causes: cardiovascular disease and Cancer . A result from 2005 national YRBSS indicates the risk
behaviors associated with these two cause of death were initiated during adolescence. During
2005, a total of 23.0% of high school students had smoked cigarettes during the 30 days
preceding the survey 67.0% did not attend physical education classes daily and 13.1% we're
overweight .Interpretation .Since 1991 the prevalence of many health risk behavior among high
school students wide has decreased. However ,many high school students continue to engage in
behaviors that place then at risk for the leading cause of mortality and morbidity.The prevalence
of many health risks behaviors varies across cities to measure progress toward achieving 15
national health objectives for healthy people 2010 and there of 10 leading health indicators ,to
asses trends in priority health risks behaviors among high school and students ,and to evaluate
the impact of broad school and community intervention at the national state ,and local
levels.G .sikazue et al (2004) conducted the Zambia global school health survey (GSHS) in 2004
for collecting accurate data on health behavior and protective factors among school going
children grade 7to 10. The survey was done in all mine provinces of Zambia a simple size of 50
school was selected which 47 (94%) school participated. The 2004 Zambia GSHS employed a
two stage cluster sample design to produce a representative sample of students 7,8,9,and
10.The first stage sampling the frame consisted of all school containing any of the above grades.
School we're selected with probability proportional to school enrollment size.The second stage
of sampling consisted of randomly selecting classes ( using a random start ) from each
participating school.
