The past 15 years of published literature on the use/misuse of non-prescription psychoactive substances in Nigeria was reviewed. It was found that alcohol, tobacco products, cannabis, and stimulants are more frequently used than other substances. More males than females, more single than married persons, and more urban than rural residents use the substances. As a result of insufficient information, it could not be established who uses the substances more among different age, religious, social class, educational, and occupational categories. The incidence of substance misuse could not be established precisely because most of the authors did not clearly distinguish substance use from substance misuse. However, a low incidence of chemical dependency was established. Improved research methodology was suggested as a way of obtaining better results in the future.
对过去15年尼日利亚关于非处方精神活性物质使用/滥用的已发表文献进行了综述。结果发现，酒精、烟草制品、大麻和兴奋剂的使用频率高于其他物质。使用这些物质的男性多于女性，单身者多于已婚者，城市居民多于农村居民。由于信息不足，无法确定在不同年龄、宗教、社会阶层、教育程度和职业类别中谁更多地使用这些物质。由于大多数作者没有明确区分物质使用和物质滥用，因此无法准确确定物质滥用的发生率。然而，已确定化学依赖的发生率较低。建议改进研究方法，以便在未来获得更好的结果。
