Intention to khat chewing among youths in Raya-Azebo district, southern zone of Tigray, Ethiopia: application of the theory of planned behavior

Khat chewing has become a global phenomenon, resulting in significant physical and mental health issues as well as socioeconomic crises. However, evidence is scarce on Ethiopian youths' behavioral intentions toward khat chewing, particularly in the Raya-Azebo district of the southern zone of the Tigray region. As a result, this study aimed to assess the intention to chew among youths in Raya-Azebo district, Southern Tigray, Ethiopia

恰特草（Khat）咀嚼行为已成为全球性现象，由此引发了严重的身心健康问题与社会经济危机。然而，目前针对埃塞俄比亚青年恰特草咀嚼行为意向的研究证据较为匮乏，针对提格雷州南部大区拉亚-阿泽博（Raya-Azebo）地区的相关研究尤为不足。有鉴于此，本研究旨在评估埃塞俄比亚提格雷州南部拉亚-阿泽博地区青年的恰特草咀嚼意向。
