Researches

Completed

1. 1995-1997:    Multicentre trial of the effect of Ivermectintreatment on onchocercal skin disease and severe itching.

I was a co-investigator in this study.  The study which was sponsored by UNDP/World Bank/WHO special programme on training and research in tropical diseases, was carried out among the farm harmlets not too far (about 5 km) on either side of the Ofiki and Oyan Rivers which favour the breeding of simulium flies.  The objectives were to determine the effects of 3, 6-, and 12-monthly ivermectin treatment on three experimental groups and a control; compare among the four treatment groups the changes in perceived sigma at the end of the study in persons who had reactive skin lesions and compare at the end of the study the perceived effects on the four treatment groups.  A total of 1032 participants wee enrolled for the study in Ifeloju Local Government Area (LGA), Oyo State.  Some of the findings include that:  the four treatment arms did not differ in prevalence of severe itching at baseline, nor at the end of 3 months.  During the subsequent visits participants in the three ivermectin groups both individually and collectively recorded a significantly greater drop in prevalence of severe itching; the prevalence of reactive lesions subsequently dropped for all groups at 3-months after treatment and remained consistently lower than in the placebo.  Women had a slightly higher stigma score than the men but this was not significant.

2. 1998-1999:    Multi-country study on the implementation of community-directed treatment of onchocerciasis with ivermectin (Ibadan study site)

I was a co-investigator in this project.  The project was funded by the UNDP/World Bank/WHO special programme on training and Research in Tropical Diseases (TDR).

The general objective was to develop and test novel approaches to the introduction and implementation of community directed treatment which will facilitate its integration in the health system, encourage effective partnership between endemic communities and the health services and improve monitoring and reporting; and to develop predictors of sustainability of community-directed treatment for routine use in evaluation.

The Ibadan study sites include, Ibarapa West, Ibarapa Central, Ibarapa North and Iwajowa Local Government Area (LGAs) Oyo State.  The results showed that stakeholders meetings constituted a useful strategy for promoting the sustainability of Community Directed Treatment with ivermectin (CDTI).  Villages in the LGAs that were assisted were more aware of the benefits of ivemectin and participated more in CDTI activities compared with those who were not.  Health Workers in the assisted LGAs undertook more CDTI activities and desired more training compared with those in LGAs that were not assisted.

3. 2000:  A Pilot phase on a national survey of patterns of use of psychoactive substances in Nigeria.

 I was a co-investigator in the study with Prof. O.A. Odejide being the principal investigator.  The study which was funded by the Awele Foundation, U.S.A. was aimed at documenting the patterns of drug use among various sub-groups in Ibadan metropolis made up of high school students, out-of-school youth (Aprentices), Students in tertiary institutions, Civil Servants, “area” boys, Market men and women and commercial sex workers.

The results showed that the prevalence of psychoactive drug use cuts across all the sub groups studied with alcohol use topping the list.  The use of the following psychoactive substances was highest among the “Area Boys”:  Alcohol (92.9%, Marijuana (71.4%), Heroin (37.9%), Cocaine (42.1%), Hallucinogens (7.9%), Amphetamines (17.6%), hypnosedatives / anxiolytics (22.9%, tobacco (76.4%).

4. 2000:Multi country study on Advocacy for Sustained Ivermectin Treatment in Onchocerciasis Control.

I was a co-investigator in this study with Prof. J.D. Adeniyi, as principal investigator.  The study consisted of two phases (Phases I & II).  The objectives of phase I were to:  document coverage, describe nature and magnitude of the problem; identify factors influencing uptake of ivermectin by people at community level; identify factors that affect timely arrival of adequate supply of ivermectin from health facility to community level; determine factors affecting the timely arrival of adequate supplies of ivermectin from district to health facility; and identify factors that affect the timely arrival of drugs from the sub national to the district level.  The broad objective of phase II was to develop, implement and evaluate a framework for advocacy to ensure sustained demand, supply, distribution and treatment coverage of ivermectin in CDTI for onchocerciasis.  The study was based in two Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Oyo State and two in Osun State.

5. 2001:  Effects of an educational intervention on Primary Care Workers’ Knowledge about the recognition and management of depression.

I was one of the Co-investigators.  Prof. O.A. Odejide is the Principal investigator.  The study was funded by the World Psychiatric Association.  The broad objective of the operational research is to enhance primary health workers capacities to recognize, manage and prevent depression in Ibadan North Local Government Area.  A total of 59 trainees participated in all aspects of the training including the Pre and Post-tests.  The mean pretest score was 56.18%.  This increased significantly to 77.5% of post-test (i.e. after educational intervention).  The follow-up activity involved monitoring the activities of the trained health workers with a view to documenting any improvements in their competencies/skills regarding the management of depression.

6. 2001:  Developing Community Approach to Drug Abuse Prevention Programme.

I was one of the co-investigators with Prof. Odejide being the Principal Investigator.  The objectives of the study were to:

• Identify the resources available to cope with drug problems in the Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Ibadan.
• Assess the general trend of drug abuse in these LGAs.
• Examine the possibilities of getting community members to cooperate with these resource facilities in instituting a sustainable community based prevention programme.
• The conduct of this study was facilitated by the Senate Research Grant of the University of Ibadan.

2004: An Assessment of Influence of involvement of CDDs in other Community level Activities on sustainability of CDTI in Oyo State, Nigeria.

I was the Principal Investigator.  The study takes place in nine Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Oyo State – where Community Directed Distributors (CDDs) carry out additional community level development activities.  The objectives of the study were to:

• Identify the additional health and development activities carried out by CDDs and the perceived benefits and problems associated with carrying out these tasks.
• Document the characteristics of CDDs who perform single and multiple level tasks.
• Determine the perceptions of the community members and CDDs supervising staff regarding the feasibility, benefits, problems and effect of CDD involvement in multiple tasks.
• Determine the strategies and/or actions needed for integrating multiple tasks into CDTI and effects of multiple tasks on the sustainability of CDTI.
• Determine the strategies and/or actions needed for integrating multiple tasks into CDTI and effects of multiple tasks on the sustainability of CDTI.
• Grant to facilitate the conduct of the study has just been won from the UNDP/World Bank/WHO Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR).

2003-2007: A multi country study on Community Directed Intervention for major health problems in Africa.

I was one of the co-investigators on this project with Prof. O. Oladepo as the principal investigator.  The project involved assessing the possibilities of making CDDs to take on additional primary health care functions in additional to their involvement in Onchocerciasis control.  The study was sponsored by UNDP/World Bank/WHO/Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases.

2006-2007: External Monetary incentive policies for Community Volunteers; A multi-country study on African Programme for Onchocerciasis Control (APOC) in Nigeria, Cameroon, Ethiopia and Uganda.

I was the Principal Investigator for the South West Nigeria Study site.  The study was sponsored by African Programme on Onchocerciasis Control (APOC), 2006-2007.  The main objective of the study was to document the policies on external monetary incentives for Community Volunteer by different programmes, the determinants of these policies and to what extent they overlap at the implementation level.

2007:  Alcohol Abuse among Adolescents in Institutions of Higher learning in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria.

I was a co-investigator in the study; Prof. O.A. Odejide was the principal investigator.  The study focused on the determination of the prevalence of alcohol consumption and alcohol-related problems among students of the University of Ibadan and the Ibadan Polytechnic, Ibadan.

Ongoing Research

• 2006-to-date. The future health systems system research is aimed at exploring ways of translating political and financial commitments of nations to meet the health needs of the poor. Professor O. Oladepo is the principal investigator. The research consists of two main phases-the diagnostic and intervention. The diagnostic phase consists of the assessment of the malaria treatment needs of the poorest of the poor while the intervention consists of design of appropriate interventions aimed at addressing the malaria treatment and prevention needs of the poorest of the poor in Nigeria. The project is being sponsored by the United Kingdom Department for International Development (DFID).        

Dissertation and Thesis

1. 1990:  “Health Education Approach to the Training of Patent Medicine Sellers at Igbo-Ora, Oyo State, Nigeria” an M.P.H. Dissertation submitted to the University of Ibadan.

It was a health education intervention programme with a quasi-experimental design.  The Igbo-Ora based patent medicine sellers constituted the experimental group while their Eruwa based counter-parts served as control.

Multiple methods of data gathering, in-depth interviews, group discussions and structured interviews were used to document the training needs of the patent medicine sellers.  Based on the training needs assessment a curriculum was designed and developed to make the patent medicine sellers safer contacts with their clients.

The training consisted of lectures, which focused on:  the Primary Health Care Management of Malaria, Guinea-worm, Malnutrition, Diarrhoea, Cough, as well as medication counseling.  The training design included a pre- and post-test.  A comparative analysis of the pre- and post-test results showed that:  there was a significant increase in knowledge only among the experimental group that received training (Pre-test 43.2%; Post-test 71.6%; P 0.001).  There were reported positive changes in attitude and practices which could be attributed to the training intervention programme.  No reported positive changes in attitude and practices were recorded among the control.

1. 2002:  “Changes in perceptions of stigma following treatment among persons with Onchocercal skin Disease (OSD) in two rural communities of Oyo State.”  A Ph.D thesis submitted to the University of Ibadan.

The study was carried out among 500 adults aged 20 years and older in 48 farm hamlets bordering the Ofiki and Oyan rivers in Ibarapa North and Ibarapa Central Local Government Areas of Oyo State.  Training interviewers questioned the groups on their demographic characteristics and stigma perceptions using a 13-item stigma scale composed of items related to self-esteem, willingness to disclose OSD conditions and aversive reactions from others as a result of the disease.  At first visit, all the subjects were examined, interviewed and treated with ivermectin.  At 15 months follow-up all were again examined, interviewed and treated.

At baseline the mean stigma score was 15.0.  At the end of the 15 months the mean stigma score increased significantly by 2.3 points.  No association was found between change in scores and demographic characteristic.  Onchocerciasis sufferers with lesions were discriminated against in Marriage and employment.  It was recommended that national onchocerciasis control programs using ivermectin should include a strong educational component aimed at addressing the stigma or discrimination association with O.S.D.

• 2005:  “Designing a Public Health Research Ethics Model Curriculum for Graduate Public Health Students in Nigeria Universities”.  An MA degree project submitted to the Department of Bioethics Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio, USA. The study involves an extensive Library research.  It entailed the acquisition and review of literature which are relevant to or have implications for the design of a public Health Research Ethics (PHRE) Curriculum.  The exercise yielded information relating to the fundamental PHRE issues and principles which Graduate (Postgraduate) students in Nigeria should be aware of and be able to apply.  The identified issues and principles were used to formulate the curricular objectives.  They are to:
• Upgrade students’ level of awareness and knowledge relating to basic ethical doctrines, principles and theories for the conduct of public researches;
• Enhance students’ understanding of national and international guidelines for researches involving human subjects;
• Enhance students’ capacities to design and implement ethically sound public health researches involving human subjects;
• Facilitate the acquisition of skills for evaluating public health research protocols and research programmes from diverse ethical perspectives;
• Strengthen the capacities of students to cope appropriately with the ethical challenges or demands of community-based public health researches;
• Facilitate the cultivation and adoption of ethical practices, values and attitudes for promoting scientific integrity. Based on these curricular objectives, a 10-topics curriculum was designed with the following as topic: Scope and relevance of Public Health Research Ethics PHRE; Fundamental principles of PHRE; Ethical requirements for conducting Public Health Researches; Conflicts of Interest; Ethical challenges in Community-based public health researches; Scientific integrity and misconduct; institutional review boards; Community advisory boards, International codes for the ethical conduct of researches involving human subjects; and informed consent in research.
