| dc.description.abstract | Substance abuse contributes towards mental illness as part of the global burden of
disease. In South Africa, substance abuse presents amongst learners at secondary
schools. Substance use affects academic performance negatively and disrupts
cognitive, emotional, social, and psychological functioning. Social support has been
known to ameliorate the deleterious effects of substance abuse. This study aimed to
investigate the perceived social support of learners at risk of substance abuse at two
selected high schools in Cape Town. | en_US |
