This research paper is a modest attempt to examine the prevalence and differentials of drug addiction in slum and non-slum areas of Chittagong, Bangladesh. The study revealed that about 53 percent of males and 47 percent of females were drug-addicted in slum areas while in non-slum areas, the percentages of the addicted males and females are about 73 and 55 respectively. In both areas, it was observed that the drug-addicted people were suffering from dyspepsia, pain in lever, declining sexual ability, hepatitis, vomiting and other diseases. From the multivariate analysis, it was observed that respondent’s religion, type of family, number of family members, economic status, occupation, duration of taking drugs, watching TV/LCD, reading newspaper or magazine, habit of smoking, knowledge about drugs, knowledge about the harmful effect of drugs, causes behind taking the drugs and drugs buying spots were found to be a positively significant effect on drug addiction in slum areas, while in non-slum areas, respondent’s religion, educational qualifications, number of family members, economic status, occupation, knowledge about drugs, watching TV/LCD, reading newspaper or magazine, suffering from diseases due to drugs, knowledge about the harmful effect of drugs, type of drugs, causes behind taking drugs, drugs buying spots and tendency to come back from drugs were found to be a positively significant effect on drug addiction. It was observed that majority of the addicted respondents use cannabis in both the areas compare to other type of drugs.

To find out the tendency of the addicted people to return from this way.

The data for the present study were collected from selected slum and non-slum areas in Chittagong metropolitan area in Bangladesh during the period January to July, 2015. For data collection, a two-stage cluster sampling design was adopted. At the first stage, a sample of 5 wards (clusters) was randomly selected out of 41 wards (clusters) in Chittagong metropolitan area and from the selected wards, 7 slum areas were chosen randomly out of 21 slum areas. The total numbers of addicted persons in 7 selected slum areas are 4,896 while in non-slum areas of selected 5 wards, total number of addicted persons are 3,729. In the second stage, out of 4,896 addicted persons, 800 addicted and non-addicted respondents were randomly selected from slum areas and out of 3,729 addicted persons, 700 addicted and non-addicted respondents were randomly selected from the non-slum areas. Finally a sample of mentioned respondents were successfully interviewed in slum and non-slum areas of Chittagong metropolitan area. The field interviewing of the respondents was carried out with the help of five field workers among them two were women. They were all educated and almost all had previous experience of working as an interviewer. The interviewers were further trained and instructed to be very careful to fill up the questionnaire. Since all selected explanatory variables are categorical, we apply the technique of logistic regression analysis to investigate the factors related to drugs, and also to identify the significant socio-economic and demographic factors on drug addiction in Chittagong metropolitan area. Besides logistic regression, the respondents were classified by demographic characters and addiction level by using the chi-square test.

The preceding results of the study reveal that a vast majority male respondents in both slum and non-slum areas are more addicted in drugs than female respondents. It appears that the percentage of drug addiction in both areas were found to be lower among those who are watching TV/LCD regularly compared to among those who did not. It is remarkable that in slum areas, the highest percentage of drug addiction due to close contact with friends but in non-slum areas, the highest percentage of drug addiction due to couple conflict. The main factors behind the drug addiction are habit of smoking, unemployed, rickshaw pullers/ day labors, businessmen, and low income. Most of the addicts are suffering from various harmful and chronic diseases. Among them about 37 percent and 32 percent respectively in slum and non-slum areas are suffering from Dyspepsia, about 22 percent and 19 percent from pain in liver, and about 18 percent and 17 percent lose their sexual ability. In slum areas, majority of the respondents have taken cannabis and phensidyl whereas in non-slum areas, the majority of the respondents have taken cannabis, heroin, and phensidyl. The results also indicate that drugs are available in Chittagong old railway station, Akber Shah Mazar, Port connecting road (Hali Shahar), Bohaddar Hat, Firoz shah lane, Madar Bari and other areas.
