| 520 | |a Several theories have been put forward to explain alcohol and other drug use by adolescents. Such theories include genetic transmission, social stress, psychosocial, biosocial, social learning, and disease models. However, in most African cultures, including Ghana, most people believe that supernatural powers may influence people to abuse alcohol. This study addressed the following questions: (1) whether alcohol and other drug use is regarded as a problem in secondary schools in Ghana; (2) beliefs of secondary school students about supernatural powers which might influence alcohol and drug abuse; and (3) whether students regarded witchcraft as a possible cure for drug abuse; and (4) whether students regarded ministers and pastors as good resources for dealing with alcohol and drug abuse. Results indicated that neither age, sex, region of origin, nor importance of religion in the student's life were related to student belief that supernatural powers can influence people to become alcoholics or drug addicts. | ||
