SUBSTANCE USE AMONG MUSLIM STUDENTS IN ACEH, INDONESIA
ABSTRACT: Illicit substance
use is a serious social problem faced by adolescents worldwide, including
adolescents in Aceh and has many negative consequences. In addition, illicit substance
use does not fit with the values of Islamic teaching, and is strictly
prohibited in Islam. Purpose: The aims of this paper are to determine the
prevalence of illicit substance use, the stages of substance use, and types of
substance used among Muslim students in senior high schools in Aceh, Indonesia.
Method: Four hundred and twenty six students who met the inclusion criteria
were recruited from four senior high schools in Banda Aceh by using simple
random sampling, and of these, 290 returned a completed questionnaire. A self
reported questionnaire was used to collect data. Result: The mean age of the
subjects was 15.9 years old and the majority of them were female (68.6%). The
study found that the prevalence of substance use was 2.4%with a higher number
of females than males who had used illicit substances. The common substances
that were used by the students were marijuana and dextromethorphon, as well as
intentionally inhaled substances. Lastly, out of the students who had used
illegal substances the majority was in the regular use stage (1.4%).
Conclusion: This study found that substance use among Muslim students in Aceh
exists, although prevalence was low. Thus, several preventive programs may be
needed in Aceh not only for Muslims students who have used substances but also
for students who have not use illegal substances.
