Alcohol and substance abuse

Early alcohol and drug use linked to development of mental health issues in adolescents

Early introduction into alcohol and substance usage (ASU) in adolescence has been directly linked to development of ill mental health in adolescents.

This is according to a recent study by researchers from the University of Nairobi who link this early matriculation into ASU as a cause for development of grave health and social issues amongst adolescents during their formative years followed by continued and problematic use in adulthood.
