dc.description.abstractThis study examined the perceptions of university undergraduates on the factors associated with drug abuse in Kwara State, Nigeria. It also investigated the effect of gender, religion, and ethnicity on undergraduates perceived factors for drug abuse. The study adopted a survey design and the sample size for the study comprised 200 undergraduates selected from two faculties of the University of Ilorin . A researcher-designed questionnaire was used to collect data for this study while frequency and percentage, mean and standard deviation, and Multivariate analysis of variance (Manova) were used to analyze the collected data. The results revealed that: undergraduates involvement in drug abuse is perceived to be traceable to three set of factors namely, negative affect (M= 3.09, SD= 0.63), compulsive use (M= 2.98, SD= 0.72), and miscellaneous reasons(M= 2.84, SD= 0. 71). Gender and ethnicity have no significant influence on their perceived involvement in drug abuse and a significant influence of religion on their perceived drug-abuse-related factors was found (F (10, 334) = 2.384, p =.009; Wilks’ Lamda =.871). Based on the findings, it was recommended that teaching of Civic education should be emphasized at tertiary levels in order, to cater for the developmental needs of the youths at a higher levelen_US
