Project description

The study focuses on self-regulation in khat use in Ethiopia. It uses a qualitative, community-based ethnographic approach to understand khat users’ definitions and reasons for controlled/uncontrolled use and harm reduction techniques they employ to prevent or minimize the negative effects of chewing. The study also looks into the perspectives of khat chewers and other stakeholders on khat regulation.
