Article Synopsis
- Substance use is a growing public health issue, particularly in the Arab world, and this study focused on understanding its prevalence among patients with psychiatric disorders in Jordan.
- The research involved 671 patients aged between 20-80 years and highlighted that factors like male sex, lower education, and unemployment were associated with higher rates of substance use.
- Findings suggest that these patients not only had higher instances of substance use but also faced additional challenges like self-harming behaviors and emotional trauma, indicating a need for targeted clinical interventions.
