Abstract: The rational use of drugs is mandatory and properly captured by the World Health Organization (WHO). This study was aimed at assessing the knowledge and practices of community members regarding antibiotic use. This was a cross-sectional study conducted across six states in Nigeria. The study included 8,370 respondents drawn from Taraba, Benue State, Enugu State, Nasarawa State, Osun State, and Rivers States. The participants were stratified into such as; community members, in-school and out-of-school youths and patient groups. The study revealed significant gaps in understanding the behaviors related to antibiotics use and antimicrobial resistance.
