Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a critical public health challenge that disproportionately burdens low-and middle-income countries, including Nigeria. Healthcare workers (HCWs) play a pivotal role in both AMR propagation and control. This cross-sectional study assessed AMR knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) among 329 HCWs in selected secondary health facilities across six South West Nigerian states. A structured, self-administered questionnaire captured composite AMR knowledge and attitude scores
