Abstract

Healthcare disparities remain a critical challenge in Nigeria, where socioeconomic inequality, geographic barriers, and limited healthcare infrastructure contribute to unequal access to healthcare services and suboptimal health outcomes. This study employed a quantitative research approach to examine the impact of targeted interventions on healthcare disparities across urban and rural regions of Nigeria. Using a cross-sectional survey design, data were collected from 500 respondents, selected through stratified random sampling, to ensure representation across different socioeconomic groups and geographic locations. Descriptive analysis revealed that 44% of respondents reported fair or poor health, with the majority citing long distances to healthcare facilities and economic limitations as primary barriers to access. Inferential analysis using Pearson correlation showed a significant negative relationship between income level and healthcare access (r = -0.58, p < 0.05). Multiple regression analysis further demonstrated that targeted interventions, such as increased healthcare funding and community-based health programs, significantly predicted improvements in healthcare utilization and health outcomes (β = 0.67, p < 0.01). The study also highlighted disparities in maternal and child health indicators, emphasizing the need for tailored policies to address these issues. By integrating successful strategies from other countries, this research offers practical recommendations for policymakers to improve healthcare equity in Nigeria. The findings contribute to the existing literature by addressing gaps related to the effectiveness of targeted interventions in mitigating healthcare disparities in developing contexts.

Abstract

This study explores the impact of cognitive attention on public health outcomes in Vietnam, focusing on how cognitive attention influences health-related behaviors such as vaccination adherence, regular health check-ups, medication compliance, and lifestyle habits. Using a structured questionnaire distributed to 30 participants, the research assesses cognitive attention through a modified Cognitive Attention Scale (CAS) and evaluates health behaviors using a Health Behavior Index (HBI). The findings reveal a strong positive correlation between cognitive attention and health behaviors, with higher levels of cognitive attention associated with improved health practices. Multiple regression analysis identified cognitive attention as the strongest predictor of health behaviors, explaining 45% of the variance in health outcomes. Additionally, ANOVA results indicated significant differences in cognitive attention and health behaviors across demographic groups, particularly education level. This study addresses a notable gap in the literature by examining cognitive attention in a non-Western, rapidly developing country context, specifically Vietnam, where socio-cultural factors shape health-related decision-making differently than in Western societies. The research contributes valuable insights into how cognitive attention influences health behaviors and informs public health strategies that can be tailored to the cognitive needs of different demographic groups in Vietnam. The study's findings emphasize the importance of incorporating cognitive factors into public health interventions to improve health outcomes in a culturally relevant manner.
