奈洛普是一种相对较新的药物，直到最近才被归类为非法药物。它被以黑人为主的城镇的许多年轻人和穷人广泛使用，用户很容易被识别出来，因为他们通常聚集在公园和出租车候车处等开放空间，并形成了一个社区，通过这个社区，他们相互支持。除此之外，使用者经常表现出糟糕的个人卫生，并经常采取盗窃和出售赃物的方式来维持自己的习惯。关于Nyaope及其使用和影响的文献很少，本研究是对Nyaope使用者在豪腾、姆普马兰加和西北部三个省的体验的定性探索。调查结果突出了这种药物的强烈成瘾性，容易获得，以及促进首次使用和戒烟困难的不利社会环境。Nyaope用户通常表达了寻找和利用帮助的愿望，以克服他们目前的情况。(C)2015年提交人。Elsevier B.V.代表约翰内斯堡大学提供出版服务。这是一篇CC BY-NC-ND许可证下的开放获取文章。
Nyaope is a relatively new drug which until recently was not classified as illegal. It is widely used by many young and poor people in predominantly Black townships and users can be easily identified as they usually assemble in open spaces such as parks and taxi ranks and have formed a community through which they support one another in the habit. In addition to this, users often display poor personal hygiene and often resort to stealing and selling stolen goods in order to sustain their habit. There is a paucity of literature on nyaope and its use and impact, and the present study is a qualitative exploration of the experiences of nyaope users in three provinces, namely Gauteng, Mpumalanga and North West. The findings highlight the strong addictive nature of the drug, the ease of access, and the unfavourable social environment which promotes initial use and difficulty in quitting. Nyaope users typically express a desire to find and utilise help in order to overcome their current circumstances. (c) 2015 The Authors.
