We shall drink until Lake Victoria dries up’
We investigated patterns and drivers of alcohol misuse and illicit drug use among young fisherfolk. We undertook this study in fishing communities on Koome Island, Lake Victoria, Uganda, from December 2017-July 2018. We conducted six group discussions with men (3) and women (3) and 33 in-depth interviews with: young people [users ( n = 10); non-users ( n = 2)], local leaders ( n = 3), health workers ( n = 2), parents ( n = 5), alcohol/illicit dru…

We found that the experience of condom-less sex in the men's youth, itself the outcome of a restrictive home environment, was percei…
