abstract="The aim of this study was to identify culturally relevant factors in the causation of and intervention in harmful alcohol and cannabis use in Malawi. Therefore a community research was conducted through key informants, and subjects were followed up for 6 months. The data were analyzed and interpreted according to an African model of socialization and personhood. It was concluded that traditional intervention strategies on a social and community level are no longer effective in the transitional Malawian, and that strategies aiming at basic life-style changes like those in some &quot;Healing Churches&quot; are called for.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
