abstract="Adolescent substance use is influenced by a multitude of socio-ecological factors ranging from intrapersonal to policy-related. We systematically searched electronic  databases using variations and Boolean connections of substance use terms to  identify literature on Nigerian adolescent substance use (alcohol, drugs, and  tobacco). Using the social ecological model to organize findings from the review, we  present the intrapersonal, interpersonal, institutional, community, and/or policy  factors of substance use identified in the studies. Of the 13 studies reviewed, most  examined only intrapersonal and interpersonal factors affecting Nigerian adolescent  substance use, while none clearly examined the impact of other ecological levels  (community and policy) on adolescent substance use. All the studies reviewed were  cross-sectional, and none employed a sound theoretical framework to guide their  inquiry. This review underscores the need for future theory-driven, longitudinal  research that captures the dynamic nature of Nigerian adolescent substance use  behaviors and other associated health-related behaviors, such as sexual behaviors  and intentional/unintentional injuries.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
