The possible correlates of alcohol, tobacco and cannabis use were investigated in a survey conducted among undergraduate students of the University of Ilorin, Nigeria. Factors that emerged as common correlates to the three substances investigated were peer influence, self-reported poor mental health, religiousity, parental/guardian supervision, perceived availability and perceived harmfulness. In addition, drinking and smoking were found to be commoner among the male sex and among respondents who reported study difficulty. There was also a significant positive relationship between cannabis use and a polygamous family background and belonging to an older age group. Although the data used in the analysis is limited due to its cross-sectional nature, the observations made are useful enough for the formulation of primary prevention strategies. A further and more elaborate longitudinal study is, however, suggested.
在尼日利亚伊洛林大学对本科生进行的一项调查中，研究了酒精、烟草和大麻使用的可能相关因素。在调查的三种物质中，共同出现的相关因素有同伴影响、自我报告的心理健康不佳、宗教信仰、父母/监护人监督、感知可得性和感知有害性。此外，饮酒和吸烟在男性以及报告学习困难的受访者中更为常见。大麻使用与一夫多妻制家庭背景以及属于较年长年龄组之间也存在显著的正相关关系。尽管分析中使用的数据由于其横断面性质而有限，但所做的观察对于制定一级预防策略非常有用。不过，建议进行进一步更详尽的纵向研究。
