Vice engagement among young people is becoming a growing concern in many communities. This study aimed to investigate the factors that influence engagement in vices during an individual's academic year, ways to divert from vices, and the effects of vices on their well-being. Thirteen (13) respondents were interviewed face-to-face, and the researchers employed a qualitative phenomenological design. Thematic analysis revealed three themes on engagement in vices: Environmental Risk Factors, Consumed by Emotions, and Coping Mechanism. For factors that facilitate diversion from vices were identified as five themes: Self-realization, Divine Inspiration, Fellowship, Health Concerns, and Family. The study also investigated the perceived effects of vices on individuals' well-being, identifying four themes: Academic Struggles, Interpersonal Adjustments, Health Impairment, and Behavioral Changes. The study highlights the intricate interplay of social, emotional, and health factors involved in these behaviors and underscores the need to comprehend and address these factors for targeted interventions and support mechanisms.
