EuroKhat: A pilot study on Khat consumption among Yemeni migrants in Germany

While khat remains a key cultural practice in Yemeni migrants, none of the non-Yemeni residents ever consumed Khat. In contrast, non-Yemeni reported higher alcohol and cannabis use, underscoring sociocultural influences on substance use. As a pilot study with limited sample size and descriptive analyses, the findings are preliminary and should be interpreted with caution. Future research should explore the role of cultural adaptation and social integration in shaping substance use behaviors among migrant populations.
