Одной из областей злоупотребления психоактивными веществами среди подростков, которая в настоящее время является проблемой и не была полностью понята в нигерийском контексте, является отношение подростков к злоупотреблению сиропом от кашля. Таким образом, для информирования о политических действиях по сокращению злоупотребления сиропом от кашля среди нигерийских подростков в этом исследовании изучалось отношение подростков к злоупотреблению сиропом от кашля в двух юго-западных штатах Нигерии, где широко распространено злоупотребление психоактивными веществами.
