Substance uses were seen in 18-25 years old age groups who are more than 40% world population, from which Africa was the region with the highest proportion accounting 60% in 2016. This review aimed to assess the burden of substance abuse among students in Ethiopia.
A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed/Medline; Science direct and African Online Journal without language and date restriction. The Heterogeneity among the included studies was checked with forest plot, χ2 test, I2 test, and the p-values. All cross-sectional studies reporting rate of prevalence of psychoactive substance among students were included and the rest were excluded.
A total of 545 articles were identified from different databases and 42 articles were selected for evaluation. Twenty-nine Articles with 22, 012 participants were included. The overall prevalence of psychoactive substance abuse was 32.28% (95% confidence interval (CI): 26.74 to 37.82).
The review revealed that one-third of the high school and higher education students used different psychoactive substances in Ethiopia.

物质使用现象在18至25岁年龄组中较为常见，该年龄组人口占世界人口的40%以上，其中非洲是比例最高的地区，2016年占60%。本综述旨在评估埃塞俄比亚学生中药物滥用的负担。
在PubMed/Medline、科学Direct和非洲在线期刊上进行了全面检索，无语言和日期限制。使用森林图、χ2检验、I2检验和p值检查纳入研究之间的异质性。纳入所有报告学生中精神活性物质流行率的横断面研究，排除其他研究。
从不同数据库中总共识别出545篇文章，选择了42篇文章进行评估。纳入了29篇文章，共22012名参与者。精神活性物质滥用的总体患病率为32.28%（95%置信区间（CI）：26.74至37.82）。
该综述显示，在埃塞俄比亚，三分之一的高中生和高等教育学生使用不同的精神活性物质。
