Drug Addiction - Effects and Prevention -

Abstract

This research presentation endeavors to unpack the escalating crisis of drug addiction a multidimensional issue that extends beyond individual health and well-being to imperil societal welfare. Against the backdrop of rising addiction rates, we probe the semantics and ontological frameworks that define "addiction" and "drugs," situating our inquiry within contemporary theoretical paradigms. Employing both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies, we dissect the etiological factors precipitating addiction, chart its developmental trajectory through various stages, and evaluate its reverberating consequences on individual and collective health. Crucially, this study goes beyond mere description to engage with the preventive mechanisms that can be orchestrated by social institutions such as schools, mosques, and media outlets. By illuminating the roles these entities can play in mitigating drug addiction, our research aims to proffer actionable recommendations for multi-level intervention strategies.
