Summary

This study surveys 1,500 students at Egyptian universities to understand how common stimulant drug use is, why students use them, and what they know about the risks. Participants answer questions about their use of substances like Ritalin, Adderall, and methamphetamine, as well as their awareness of side effects. The goal is to gather data that could help design better education and prevention programs.
