This report presents findings from a three‑week qualitative survey on alcoholism conducted in southern Namibia in November 1990. As the first study of its kind in the region, the research relied heavily on interviews with key informants, community members, and affected families, due to limited available statistics and reluctance among some social workers to disclose detailed information. The study defines alcoholism, assesses the extent and social impact of alcohol abuse particularly on children and identifies common patterns across several towns and rural communities. It also proposes possible interventions to address alcohol‑related problems in the region. |
