Abstract

Despite heightened global focus on menstrual health and gender equality, adolescent girls in rural Nigeria still encounter significant deficiencies in knowledge and attitudes.  Misinformation and cultural taboos regarding menstruation perpetuate negative gender norms, thereby constraining the empowerment and participation of girls. This study examines the relationship between adolescent girls' menstrual knowledge and their attitudes toward gender norms in rural areas of three northern Nigerian states. This is a cross-sectional study that utilized secondary data from the World Bank’s AGILE Impact Evaluation 2023, with a sample of 8,188 in-school adolescent girls aged 15–20 from Kaduna, Kano, and Katsina States in northern Nigeria. Univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses were conducted to examine the relationship between knowledge of menstruation and gender attitudes, controlling for religion, state, place of residence, and boarding school attendance. Good menstrual knowledge was found to be very poor among the adolescent girls (2.80%), and their gender attitudes were also abysmal (96.91%). Adolescent girls possessing good menstrual knowledge demonstrated an almost twofold likelihood of exhibiting positive gender attitudes (AOR = 1.99; 95% CI: 1.13–3.51, p = 0.018). Muslim adolescents, as well as those residing in Kano and Katsina states, exhibited a notable decrease in the likelihood of possessing progressive gender attitudes. Urban residency correlated with improved gender attitudes, whereas attendance at boarding schools exhibited no notable impact. Poor understanding of menstruation is linked to poor gender attitudes among female adolescents in rural northern Nigeria. Integrating menstrual health education programs with sensitization about gender norms is essential for enhancing girls' empowerment and addressing discriminatory norms. Therefore, policies must consider sociocultural and religious influences that shape adolescent gender ideologies.

Abstract

 Persons of Concern (PoC) are people displaced because of natural disasters or conflictsand violence, and they include refugees, asylum seekers, internally displaced persons(IDPs), and returnees. Nigeria is one of the major destinations of PoC in Africa. PoCshould have the same rights in any sector, including health access in their destination.However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, about 19% of households faced a lack ofaccess to health facilities in Nigeria. This study examined the factors related to the lackof access to health facilities among PoCs in Nigeria during the COVID-19 pandemicin 2020. Methods: Secondary data from the UNHCR survey, which was conducted inJuly 2020 among 3,222 households categorized as PoC, was used. Univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses were used to assess the factors with the aid of STATA 17software. Results: Factors such as state of residence, population status, marital status,and gender of household heads were found to have a significant correlation with thelack of access to health facilities in Nigeria. Conclusion: The UNHCR, the Nigeriangovernment, and other stakeholders must work together to ensure all PoCs can accesshealth facilities easily, especially during outbreaks of pandemics and other disasters.

Abstract

The Maternal Mortality Rate is still high in Nigeria. Complete antenatal care (ANC) of eight visits during pregnancy is an important strategy to control this condition. This research analyzed the socioeconomic disparities in completed ANC in Nigeria. The study examined secondary data from the 2018 Nigerian Demographic and Health Survey. The study included 21,792 women aged 15 to 49 who had given birth in the previous five years. We looked at eight control factors in addition to completed ANC as an outcome variable and socioeconomic as an exposure variable: domicile, age, religion, marital status, education, occupation, and parity. Data were analyzed using binary logistic regression. The result showed the completed ANC proportion in Nigeria is 21.6%. Meanwhile, the poorer were 1.316 times more likely than the poorest to perform completed ANC (AOR 1.316; 95% CI 1.316-1.317). The middle was 1.994 times more likely to achieve completed ANC than the poorest (AOR 1.994; 95% CI 1.993-1.994). Meanwhile, the richer were 2.808 times more likely than the poorest to achieve completed ANC (AOR 2.808; 95% CI 2.807-2.808). Moreover, the richest were 4.112 times more likely to perform completed ANC than the poorest in Nigeria (AOR 4.112; 95% CI 4.112-4.113). The study revealed significant socioeconomic disparities in the completion of ANC in Nigeria, with wealthier women being more likely to achieve completed ANC compared to their less-wealthy counterparts.
