Abstract Inhibitory control dysfunction (ICDD) is a core feature of drug-induced psychosis. The present study focused on the investigation of inhibitory control dysfunction among Nigerian patients diagnosed with drug-induced psychosis (DIP). The assessment tools employed were Stroop colour word test (SCWT), mini-mental state examination (MMSE), and the trail making test (TMT) Parts A and B. 100 participants consisting of patients diagnosed with drug-induced psychosis (n=56, 4 females and 52 males) and a control group of 44 persons (21 females and 23 males) took part in the study. There were statistically significant differences between DIP cases and controls on the assessment tasks measuring inhibitory control. Regression analyses showed that age was a significant predictor of the trail making test (TMT) Part B performance. The results indicate that drug-induced psychosis patients are at higher risk of developing inhibitory control dysfunction than the general population.
