The increase in tobacco and alcohol prevalence among Nigerian teenagers necessitates the need to understand the factors influencing use. The aim of this systematic literature review was to synthesis evidence from studies on tobacco and alcohol use among Nigerian adolescents and young adults in order to determine factors influencing tobacco and alcohol use. Six databases MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar were used to search for peer-reviewed articles reporting the prevalence and predictors of tobacco and alcohol use among adolescents/youths published between 2010 and 2022. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guided this review. From our search, twelve articles from the 6 geopolitical zones within Nigeria were included. The high prevalence of tobacco and alcohol use among Nigerian adolescents necessitates the need to understand the factors influencing use. A high prevalence rate was recorded among the male gender. Gender, age, and curiosity appear to place adolescents at extra risk for tobacco and alcohol use. Lack of parental monitoring, peer influence, low socio-economic status, low education level, stressful life events, advertisements, availability, and accessibility are factors identified to influence adolescents' alcohol and tobacco use. Alcohol and tobacco use remains a major public health issue as it continues to contribute largely to the growing occurence of diseases globally. Our review showed that adolescents' alcohol and tobacco use behaviour is triggered by various factors on the personal, interpersonal, organisational, community, and policy levels, and these factors are understood to predict or protect against alcohol and tobacco use.
尼日利亚青少年中烟草和酒精的流行率增加，这使得我们有必要了解影响其使用的因素。本系统文献综述的目的是综合尼日利亚青少年和年轻人使用烟草和酒精的研究证据，以确定影响烟草和酒精使用的因素。使用 MEDLINE、Embase、CINAHL、PsycINFO、PubMed、ScienceDirect 和 Google Scholar 这六个数据库，检索了 2010 年至 2022 年间发表的关于青少年和年轻人使用烟草和酒精的流行率及其预测因素的同行评审文章。本综述遵循系统评价和荟萃分析的首选报告项目 (PRISMA)。从我们的搜索中，包括了来自尼日利亚六个地理区域的十二篇文章。尼日利亚青少年中烟草和酒精的高流行率使得我们有必要了解影响其使用的因素。研究记录了男性青少年中烟草和酒精的高使用率。性别、年龄和好奇心似乎使青少年面临更高的使用烟草和酒精的风险。缺乏父母监督、同伴影响、低社会经济地位、低教育水平、生活压力事件、广告、可用性和可及性是被确定为影响青少年酒精和烟草使用的因素。酒精和烟草的使用仍然是一个主要的公共卫生问题，因为它继续在很大程度上导致全球疾病的发生。我们的综述表明，青少年的酒精和烟草使用行为是由个人、人际、组织、社区和政策层面的各种因素引发的，这些因素被认为可以预测或预防酒精和烟草的使用。
