Statement of the problem:
Substance abuse is popular on the increase
in our low income setting today for various reasons and is associated
with poverty as a major risk factor. In Uganda mental illness has become
common in sports and is often associated with substance enhancement
from alcohol and marijuana intake. Some of the factors that have
promoted this rise include physical pain, chronic injuries and pressure to
produce results. The overall effect of this problem has led to addiction,
low productivity, social dissociation and finally failure to perform in sports.
Methodology and theoretical orientation:
We reviewed articles and
references of related topics finding those relevant to the scope of the
subject. Objectively closed ended questioners were given to 380 sports
participants chosen from 12 sports centers (Pilot) areas under random
distribution in 4 different regional urban setting in Uganda. They were
assessed on modified additional and productivity scales.
Findings:
Northern region n=60 12 normal 48(80%) Addiction low
productivity 0.83(83.3%), Eastern region n=100 20 normal subjects,
Addiction 40(40%) low productivity 47(47%). Western region n=90
Addiction 23(25.5%) low productivity 52 (57.7%) Central region n=130
Addiction 68(52.3%) low productivity 39(30%) Conceptional frame work
Conclusion:
Urban region e.g. Central have highest rates of Addiction
with low productivity due availability of drugs and cheap alcohol/spirits
on the market. Restrictions on alcohol is not observed within the local
communities in the rural regions Sports men have highest low productivity
due to poor social support, unemployment and no formal infrastructure.
