Background.
Youth populations are vulnerable to substance use particularly in developing countries where circumstances may be favorable for it.
There is no published data on substance use among the youth in Sudan other than on tobacco use.
Objectives.
The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence, circumstances, and factors associated with substance use.
Methods.
An institution-based survey was conducted on a sample of 500 students.
Data was collected using a questionnaire designed by the WHO for student drug surveys and analyzed using IBM SPSS version 20.
Results.
The overall prevalence of substance use is 31%.
The current prevalence of tobacco, cannabis, alcohol, amphetamines, tranquilizers, inhalants, opiates, cocaine, and heroin use was 13.7%, 4.9%, 2.7%, 2.4%, 3.2%, 1%, 1.2%, 0.7%, and 0.5%, respectively.
Curiosity (33.1%) was the main reason for initiation of substance use.
The main adverse effects reported were health problems (19.7%) and theft (19.7%).
Peers (40.9%) were the prime source of substance use.
On multivariate analysis, male sex was the principle predictor for substance use (AOR: 5.55; 95% CI: 3.38, 9.17).
Conclusion.
Strategies to control substance use should encompass the role of the university and parents in observing and providing education to improve awareness of substances and their consequences.
