Respondents were selected by simple random sampling method. Data obtained was analyzed with Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20. Level of significance was set at 5%. Result: A total of 205 respondents participated in the study. The mean age of respondents was 38± 8.6 years. All respondents were males and 48.8% had a minimum of secondary education. Fifty nine (28.8%) reported having road traffic accidents (RTA) within the past year. The prevalence of regular use of psychoactive substances was 61%. The most frequently used were alcohol 119 (56.6%), tobacco 68 (33.2%) and kolanut 67 (32.7%).
