Prevalence Of And Motivation For Drug Abuse

Hypothesis Seven:   
There is no significant difference in the prevalence of drug abuse among students of tertiary institutions on the basis of family type.

Table 11 reflects that the calculated t-value of - 0.13 which is less than the critical t- value of 1.96 at 0.05 alpha level. This indicates that there is no significant difference. Hence, the hypothesis is accepted. Therefore, there is no significant difference in the prevalence of drug abuse among students of tertiary institutions on the basis of family type.
Hypothesis Eight:       
There is no significant difference in the motivation for drug abuse among students of tertiary institutions on the basis of family type

Table 12 shows the calculated t-value of - 0.87 is less than the critical value of 1.96 at 0.05 significance level. This means there is no significant difference. Hence, the hypothesis is accepted. Thus, there is no significant difference in the motivation for drug abuse among students of tertiary institutions on the basis of family type.
Summary of Findings   
Based on the result of the study, items 1, 6 and 4 were ranked as the top three on the prevalence of drug abuse while items 2, 1 and 3 were ranked the top on the motivation for drug abuse. The list ranked items on the prevalence of drug abuse are items 7 and 13, 12, and 2 while items 4, 8 and 11 features on motivation for drug abuse. However, eight hypotheses were postulated and all of them were accepted. Hence, there was no significant difference in the prevalence of, and motivation for drug abuse among students of tertiary institutions on the basis of gender, age, religion and family type.
