Abstract
ABSTRACT Numerous countries are significantly impacted by substance use disorder (SDU) crimes without effective solutions, including Malaysia. The current study aims to systematically review relevant literature on community education and factors contributing to SDU relapse, especially among former youth prisoners in Malaysia. A literature search was conducted through three databases, namely Scopus, Web of Science (WoS), and Google Scholar. The initial search provided over 700 articles ranging from 2013 to 2023. Nevertheless, the screening and eliminating processes resulted in only 10 articles. The screening process coincided with the study objectives to thoroughly comprehend the major factors contributing to SDU relapse among former youth prisoners and explore the effectiveness of community education in preventing SDU relapse. The findings answered the research questions and suggested several future research directions to improve the study.
