Abstract

Background: Illicit drug use is a growing public health concern in Nigeria, with increasing evidence suggesting high vulnerability among workers in the informal sector. Male artisans engaged in physically demanding occupations may be particularly at risk due to occupational stress, fatigue, and limited access to health services. However, empirical data on substance use among artisans in southeastern Nigeria remain scarce.
