Description
Rachael Oluwafemi Ojeka-John and six co-authors study Covid-19 risk communication in South-West Nigeria, in work from 2023. They ask how well the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control reached people who cannot read. The study uses a survey of 420 people in six rural towns across Lagos, Oyo and Osun states, plus NCDC jingles and flyers.
Radio was rated highest, by 60.4 percent of respondents, followed by health workers. Jingles in Yoruba covered safety steps and symptoms well. The authors find a gap, though: the jingles did little to explain how grave the disease was. Flyers used signs and pictures to convey risk, but reach among non-literate groups stayed uneven.
