Abstract
This study examines the perceptions of the social aspects, triggers, and
effects of chamba (marijuana) use among psychiatric patients at Zomba
Mental Hospital in Malawi. Focus groups were used to elicit responses
from 44 male and 10 female psychiatric patients about their perceptions of chamba use in Malawi. This study provides insight into these
patients’ perceptions of the triggers and effects of their chamba use,
and it has implications for the development of treatment and prevention programs for chamba users in Malawi.
