This study aimed to determine the prevalence, pattern and socio-economic burden of a dual diagnosis of substance abuse disorder and other psychiatric conditions.

Only 42 patients had a first working diagnosis of substance abuse but nearly thirty-five percent of the patients \u0000scored for a Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (Fourth Edition) diagnosis of alcohol dependance/abuse. There was high co-morbidity of alcohol abuse/dependence with opiate, sedative and 'khat' use, as well as with mood and other psychotic disorders. Substance abuse disorders correlated significantly with other psychiatric disorders. Only 12 patients were in a drug rehabilitation unit, all of whom had a dual psychiatric diagnosis of affective disorder. \u0000There were high co-morbidity rates of substance abuse in both general psychiatric wards and drug rehabilitation units. \u0000 \u0000KEY WORDS: substance abuse, co-morbidity, psychiatric disorders, Kenya","PeriodicalId":39196,"journal":{"name":"African Journal of Drug and Alcohol Studies","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4314/AJDAS.V7I1.46359","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70449905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The participants were students of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria. Purposive sampling technique was adopted in the sample selection. Three hundred students who consented participated in the study. A self constructed questionnaire was used to collect the data. The validity of the instrument was determined. The reliability of the instrument was also determined using test retest method. Correlation co-efficient of 0.75 was obtained. This study revealed that there is a significant influence of parenting style on the smoking behaviour of students (x2 = 36.03, df = 6, p ≤ 0.05). It also showed that there is a significant relationship between parents’ educational attainment and students’ smoking behaviour (x2 = 60.40, df = 6, p ≤ 0.05).

The combination of hazardous alcohol drinking and HIV is deleterious to the health of the individual and the general public. Therefore, this study attempts to estimate the prevalence of alcohol use disorders in HIVinfected patients and to assess the socio-demographic factors associated with it. Across sectional descriptive study was conducted among 160 consecutive patients attending the infectious disease unit of the Plateau State Specialists Hospital Jos. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect data on socio-demographic variables and Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) was used to assess alcohol use disorders. The estimated prevalence of alcohol related problems was 39.4% with 28.8% harmful drinking and 10.6% hazardous drinking (alcohol abuse); 33.1% had started drinking before they were diagnosed with HIV and 6.3% after diagnosis. Male sex (p=0.000), poor education(p=0.000) and low income (p=0.002) were significantly associated with alcohol use disorders. The study revealed that alcohol use disorders are high among HIV infected patients who are males with low socio-economic status. We therefore recommend for screening and treating alcohol problems in HIV patients.
