Abstract Background: Legal substances use is prevalent in Ethiopia. Substance use can have several health problems that are potentially harmful in educational performance, social issues, psychological and physical wellbeing. This study aimed to know prevalence of lifetime and last month substances use and its associated factors among technical and vocational education and training College students in Ataye town. Methods: an institution based cross-sectional study conducted from 1 March to last May 2019. Participants selected by using simple random sampling technique. Chi-square with its p-value used to identify correlates for each legal/illegal substance use. Bivariate and multivariate binary logistic regression analysis performed to identify associated factors. Backward logistic regression method used. Odds ratio with their 95% confidence interval, and p value less than 0.05 used to declare the statistical significance of associated factors. Results: Four hundred eighty three individuals participated in the study, which was a response rate of 94%. The prevalence of lifetime legal substances use was 32.5% (95% CI: 28.2, 36.5). The prevalence of last month's legal substances use was 21.9% (95% CI= 18.2, 25.5). Among lifetime legal substance users, the majority (25.5%) chewed khat. The others, (19.5%) drunk alcohol, and, 15.3% smoked cigarette in lifetime. Lifetime cannabis and cocaine users were 2.5%, and 7.2% respectively. Among last month's legal substance users, (21.9%) chewed khat followed by alcohol drinking (16.6%), and cigarette smoking (15.3%). In the last month, 1.2% and 3.3% of students used cannabis and cocaine respectively. Multivariate logistic regression showed that, being male, having divorced family, living greater than twenty years in the town, having substance user family member, having intimate friend substance user, and easily availability of substances were independent predictors of lifetime legal substances use.Conclusions: The prevalence of last month and lifetime legal substance use at Ataye Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) college students were analogous with most studies done in Ethiopia. Cannabis and cocaine are illegal drugs in Ethiopia. Nevertheless, the reported proportion of these illegal drug uses informs us there may not be under reporting of legal substances use. It is advisable if furthers emphasis is given for TVET students with the predictor variables.

This study aimed to know the prevalence of lifetime and last month’s substance use and its associated factors among technical and vocational education and training College students in Ataye town. Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from 1 March to last May 2019. Participants were selected using a simple random sampling technique. Data collected by using a structured and pretested interviewer-administered questionnaire. Data collected by five trained diploma nurses with close supervision. Odds ratio with their 95% confidence interval, and p-value less than 0.05 used to declare the statistical significance of associated factors. Results: Four hundred eighty-three individuals participated in the study, which was a response rate of 94%. The prevalence of lifetime legal substance use was 32.5% (95% CI: 28.2, 36.5).

Conclusions: The prevalence of last month and lifetime legal substance use at Ataye Technical and Vocational Education and Training ( TVET ) college students were analogous with most studies done in Ethiopia. It is advisable if the college administrators work together with town administrators to mitigate the problem including closing substance use houses around the school. Overall, Substance use among adolescents should get further emphasis to lower the prevalence.

Abstract Background: substance use is prevalent in Ethiopia. Substance use can have several health problems that are potentially harmful in educational performance, social issues, psychological and physical wellbeing; especially on youth and adolescents. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of lifetime and last one-month substance use and its associated factors among technical and vocational education and training College Students (TVET) in Ataye town. Methods: an institution based cross-sectional study was conducted. Participants were selected by using simple random sampling technique. Chi-square with its p-value was used to identify correlates for each substance use. Bivariate and multivariate binary logistic regression analysis was performed to identify associated factors after controlling cofounding. Odds ratio with their 95% confidence interval, and P < 0.05 was used to declare the significance of associated factors. Results: A total of 483 individuals were participated, which was a response rate of 94%. The prevalence of lifetime substance use was 32.5% (95% CI: 28.2, 36.5). The prevalence of last month's substance use was 21.9% (95% CI= 18.2, 25.5). Among lifetime users, the majority 98(25.5%) were chewed Khat; followed by alcohol drinking 75(19.5%). Cigarettes, cannabis, and cocaine users were 15.3%, 2.5%, and 7.2% respectively. Among last month's substance users, the same proportions (21.9%) chewed Khat; followed by alcohol drinking, (16.6%) and cigarette smoking, (15.3%). Of last month's substance users, 1.2% and 3.3% of students used Cannabis and cocaine respectively. Using multivariate binary logistic regression, Being male (AOR=2.2, 95%CI: 2.3, 3.84), Being from divorced family (AOR=4.1,95%CI: 1.1, 5.8), Living > 20 years in the town (AOR=3.45,95%CI: 1.18,10.1), had family member substance user (AOR=2.5, 95%CI: 1.1, 5.8), had intimate friend substance user (AOR=5.3,95%CI: 2.6,10.9), and availability of substances (AOR=2.3,95%CI: 1.2,4.4.) were independent predictors of lifetime substance use among TVET college students. Conclusions: The prevalence of last month and lifetime substance use among Ataye TVET College students were analogous with other studies done in Ethiopia. Cannabis and cocaine are illegal drugs in Ethiopia. But, the reported proportion of these illegal drug use was significant and needs government attention. Overall, Substance use among adolescents should get further emphasis to lower the prevalence.
