Psychological Distress and Coping Strategies Among South Africans During Covid-19 Lockdowns
This study explores psychological distress and coping strategies among South African adults (median age of 38; IQR = 28–50) during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown regulations through a rapid online survey ( N = 851). More than half (55.23%) of the participants reported psychological distress, namely high levels of anxiety and depression, with almost half of this group (47.02%) at risk of severe psychological disorder. Binary logistic regression in…
From courtroom to clinic
The decriminalisation of cannabis for private use has impacted treatment demand for cannabis use and the need for specialist substance use treatment among adolescents in South Africa.

Disparities in Tobacco Smoking by Sex and Employment Status
Background/Objectives: Tobacco smoking is a cause of premature death and illness globally. This study examined the prevalence and factors associated with tobacco smoking among South African adults according to sex, education, and employment status among socio-demographic subgroups. Methods: Data were obtained from the 2021 South African Global Adult Tobacco Survey (a nationally representative household survey using a multi-stage stratified cluste…
Trauma trends during Covid ‐19 alcohol prohibition at a South African regional hospital
Did Covid-19-Related Alcohol Sales Restrictions Reduce Alcohol Consumption? Findings from a National Online Survey in South Africa

On‐ and off‐licensed premises drinking behaviour among adults in the city of Tshwane, South Africa
Non-Smoker’s Exposure to Second-Hand Smoke in South Africa during 2017
Current South African tobacco control law allows for 25% designated smoking areas in some indoor public places. This study investigates non-smokers' exposure to second-hand smoke (SHS) in workplaces, homes, cafés/restaurants, and shebeens (local bars) using data from the 2017 South African Social Attitude Survey. Factors associated with any level of exposure were explored using multiple-variable-adjusted logistic regression analysis. The sample o…
Characteristics and Predictors of Heavy Episodic Drinking (HED) among Young People Aged 16–25
In South Africa, little is known about alcohol consumption patterns, such as drinks consumed, container size, salience of alcohol price, affordability and availability, and perceptions of alcohol policies as potential predictors of heavy episodic alcohol (HED) use among young people. This paper examines predictors of HED among young people with specific consideration given to these alcohol consumption patterns. This study conducted in the Tshwane…
