Also, the correlation between substance use and implications for substance use was significant but negative and low [-0.228 (0.002)]. Findings also showed that the correlation between substance use and measures for eradicating substance use was not significant as well as negative and low [-0.101 (0.169] which means measures were not enforced by the government agency, hence, rules were not adhered to. The study recommends that government agency should develop a device for testing drivers who test positive to any substances, also, the state and local governments should enact laws and sanction any commercial drivers caught abusing substancesItem Mental health implications of lockdown during coronavirus pandemic among adults resident in Ibadan, Nigeria(National Association of Social Workers, 2020) Afolabi, A.The study examined the mental health implications of lockdown during coronavirus pandemic among adult residents in Ibadan, Nigeria.
