| dc.description.abstract | In many societies, just like the Rugyeyo sub-county of the Kanungu District, where alcohol is widely available and widely consumed, including by teenagers, the culture of excessive or inappropriate drinking often has serious consequences on many aspects of the lives of the young, especially their schooling. Many of those who engage in alcohol abuse have issues of lack of concentration, poor attendance in classes, poor academic performance, and, in some cases, outright abandonment of schooling. The study seeks to investigate the influence of alcohol abuse on the academicperformance of youths in Rugyeyo Sub-County. It will explore the prevalence of alcohol abuse, the underlying drivers of the problem, and the influence on the outcomes of the study, such as academic achievement, the rate of stay, and the level of student enrollment. By focusing on the issue at the community level, the study will provide valuable information that can frame the community interventions, counseling practices, and sensitization programs that can be tailored to the needs of the child students. In addition, the study highlights the urgency of addressing substance abuse as one of the biggest challenges facing the development of youth and the achievements of students. | |
