| dc.description.abstract | Qualitative method was the approach used in this study to investigate the nature, extent and causes of drug abuse in Mdantsane Township schools. This study followed an interpretative method in which participants were the people who learned/studied/worked with learners who had drug related problems. Most participants indicated that they experience drug related problems in their schools. Learners mostly understood the nature of the problem, and discussed the extent to which learners in their schools used and abused different types of drugs like dagga, tobacco, alcohol, slimming/sleeping pills, cocaine and mandrax. All participants mentioned what they considered to be the causes of drug use and abuse by learners as well as their suggestions for how to eliminate drug abuse. | |
