Summary
This study uses an anonymous online questionnaire to examine how medical students, midwifery students, and academic hospital staff use substances like alcohol, tobacco, and stimulants, and how these behaviors relate to mental health, stress, and social factors. The goal is to identify patterns and risk factors that could inform future prevention and support strategies.
