Translated Description (Arabic)

تنتشر المواد المنتجة لتعاطي المخدرات والارتهان لها على نطاق واسع في البلدان الأفريقية واستمرت في الزيادة. أصبح تعاطي المواد المخدرة، الذي كان يُنظر إليه في الأصل على أنه مشكلة قلة مختارة، مشكلة ذات نسب كبيرة من سكان العالم. تم استخدام تصميم دراسة وصفي مقطعي. باستخدام مستشار البحوث (2006) جدول أخذ العينات، تم أخذ عينات من 365 طالبًا و 108 معلمين باستخدام تقنية أخذ العينات العشوائية الطبقية من 3812 و 156 من مجموعات الدراسة على التوالي. كانت الأداة التي تم استخدامها لجمع البيانات عبارة عن استبيان موحد مهيكل من قبل أفواي في عام 2016 الذين عملوا على تعاطي المخدرات على السلوك الاجتماعي والعاطفي لطلاب المدارس الثانوية في ولاية كادونا، نيجيريا (أفواي، 2016). تم اختبار الفرضية باستخدام اختبار T لعينة مستقلة عند مستوى 0.05 من الأهمية لتحديد ما إذا كان هناك فرق ذو دلالة إحصائية بين متوسطي المجموعتين غير المترابطتين. تم إجراء جميع الإحصاءات باستخدام الحزمة الإحصائية للعلوم الاجتماعية (IBM - SPSS الإصدار 24). تظهر الدراسة أن جميع أنواع المخدرات يتم تعاطيها من قبل طلاب المدارس الثانوية في ولاية كادونا وفقًا لآراء المستجيبين الذين يعتبرون الماريجوانا أكثر أنواع تعاطي المخدرات شيوعًا في حين أن الباربيتورات (الديازيبام) ليس عقارًا شائعًا لتعاطي المخدرات. يؤثر تكتل عدة عوامل على استخدام المخدرات من قبل طلاب المدارس الثانوية العليا في منطقة زاريا التعليمية في ولاية كادونا حيث لم يتم العثور على عوامل محددة. أثبتت الدراسة أن الطالبات أكثر انتشارًا في تعاطي المخدرات من نظرائهن الذكور في هذه الأيام.
