“…This implies that though some respondents preferred to go outside the school centre to do their HCT/HIV test, majority preferred to do it on-site in their school HCT centre. These findings are similar to a study done in a tertiary institution in Gindiri northern Nigeria, where up-take of HCT increased from 23.4% to 42.2% following health education and an on-site mobile HCT clinic [28]. This is also in line with a study done in Ethiopia by Gatta et al, among adolescents where majority of respondents suggested that HCT be offered within their school [29].…”

Background: Human Immunodeficiency virus/Acquired Immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) is a significant source of socioeconomic and disease burden especially among the Sub-Saharan African population. Less than 10% of these people especially the adolescents are aware of their status with an associated risk of increasing the spread of HIV. Therefore, this study was undertaken to determine the effect of peer education and the provision of onsite HIV Counselling and Testing services on uptake of HCT and the factors influencing its up-take among public secondary school students. Methods: This was a school-based quasi-experimental study conducted from January to June 2016. A multi-stage sampling technique was used to select 932 students attending public secondary schools in Ebonyi State and an intervention comprising peer education, and provision of onsite HCT Original Research Article

“…Reports show that contraceptive use in sub-Saharan Africa is low in spite of evidence of the pivotal role of family planning. Sub-Saharan Africa, which is home to only 10% of the world's women, contributes annually 12 million unwanted or unplanned pregnancies and 40% of all pregnancy-related death worldwide (WHO, 2004;Utoo and Araoye, 2012). In addition to disparities in the uptake of family planning across sub-regions of Africa, wide variation also exists within the countries.…”

Family planning has been proven to save and enhance the lives of women and children. However, sub-Saharan Africans living in rural areas tend to use fewer contraceptives and have more children than their urban counterparts. Moreover, there is gap between awareness and use of modern contraceptive. This study, therefore, investigated the factors that may influence acceptability and consequent use of family planning among rural women in two communities in Ife Central Local Government Area, Osun State, Nigeria. A survey of 400 consenting women was done using a pretested self-administered questionnaire, which included questions on awareness on family planning and factors which are likely to predict its use. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Chi-square test of association and logistic regression. The age of the respondents was 21.1±9.0 years and there were more Christians (94.2%) than Muslims and other religious groups. A large majority (79.0%) were currently married, with most respondents possessing junior secondary certificate. Almost all (96.4%) respondents had heard about family planning. However, only 20.0% were aware of the place where the services are available in their communities. Most of them (61.5%) noted that they were influenced to use family planning through organisations, which did social marketing of the products. Twenty-one percent respondents opined that their spouses would not approve of the use of family planning. Forty-three percent desired to have at least four children. Factors predictive of uptake of family planning were number of children (HR=1.74, 95% CI 1.15-2.53) and level of education (HR=2. 12, 95% CI 1.43-3.22). A total of 35% of the respondents agreed to accept the method but practice and acceptance of family was very low. Interventions such as reproductive family planning health education, social marketing, awareness and campaign targeting this population must be intensified in order to. derive the maximum benefits of family planning to individuals and the nation, ultimately.

Background: A substantial body of evidence has revealed that family planning is a cost-effective public health and development intervention. It has also been established that family planning is a means to control population growth towards the achievement of goals 1,2 and 3 of the sustainable development goals. However, the contraceptive prevalence rate of Nigerian women especially remains low with a host of factors militating against the uptake of family planning contraceptives. Objective: This paper investigated the various factors that are limiting the uptake of family planning and is thereby causing a low contraceptive uptake rate among female farmers of reproductive age (15 -49 ) in Ekiti state Nigeria. Methods: Multiple regression analysis was used to analyse demographic variables and other factors affecting the intention to use family planning among the study population with a sample size of 350 in 16LGAs/ ADPs of Ekiti State. Result: the result showed that a percentage increase in the level of each of the demographic variables and other factors like family planning perception, attitude, knowledge, and spousal support will increase the level of intention to use family planning. Conclusion:This study concluded that factors like fear of side effects, myths & misconceptions, religious barriers, spousal communication, and education have a significant relationship with the intention to use family planning.
