Substance Use Among Adolescents in Northern Cyprus

Trends, Risks, and Preventive Responses


About the Book

The rising prevalence of substance abuse among the youth and adult populations in Northern Cyprus calls for an in-depth examination of the underlying causes, trends, and effective response mechanisms. This report is a result of rigorous research and collaboration among experts from various fields, aiming to provide a holistic understanding of the substance abuse problem. We delve into the socio-economic and cultural factors contributing to substance use, analyse the effectiveness of current interventions, and propose new strategies for tackling this pressing issue. It is our hope that this work will contribute to the development of more effective policies and programs to combat substance abuse and support those affected by it.
