| dc.description.abstract | The study investigated the relationship between substance abuse and delinquency among youths in
Walukuba division in Jinja municipality in Uganda. A sample of 322 youths was investigated. They
ranged from 12 -19 years in age. Substance abuse was measured using Alcohol, Smoking and Substance
Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST) by world Health organization and delinquency was determined by
the assistance of local leaders and other youths. Mean, standard deviation and frequency scores were
obtained to describe their experiences. The findings indicated that level of substance abuse was not as
serious as expected. Level of delinquency was moderate (mean = 2.98, SD = 1.32). The relationship
between substance abuse and delinquency ranged from positive low to moderate and statistically
significant (r = .21 to 0.44, p = 0.00). It was concluded that substance abuse leads to delinquency | en_US |
