Co-producing a media campaign intervention to encourage Nigeria women’s engagement in early presentation to breast cancer screening
Objective Breast cancer significantly affects women globally, with women from low- and middle-income countries like Nigeria presenting late and at significant risk of mortality due to poor early screening. Yet a gap remains in the co-production of a media campaign intervention with women who are not or partially up to date with breast cancer screening using an interpretative phenomenological analytical lens. Method Underpinned by a qualitative co…
Reframing vaccine narrative
Introduction Childhood vaccine hesitancy is a public health concern. Nigeria is one of the countries with the highest rates of zero-dose childhood vaccination. This study makes an original contribution by adopting a co-production approach underpinned by interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) to meaningfully inform the co-production of a media campaign intervention with Nigerian parents/ caregivers whose child(ren) are not, or only partial…
Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic men’s experiences of gender-based violence, help-seeking behaviours and psychosocial interventions in the United Kingdom
Background: Gender-Based Violence (GBV) is an issue of public health concern. Yet most research on GBV focuses predominantly on women. A gap remains in a review of Black Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) men's experiences of gender-based violence, help-seeking behaviours, and interventions to improve their psychosocial wellbeing in the United Kingdom. This review addressed the gap. Methods: = 10 studies met the inclusion criteria. The relevant dat…
Terminating the Revolving Cycle of Silence
Intimate partner violence (IPV) has profound negative consequences for affected men’s physical and mental well-being globally. Yet, limited attention has been given to the coproduction of media campaign interventions with male survivors to promote help‐seeking in Nigeria—an area to which this study makes an original and significant contribution through an intersectionality-informed approach. Ten male participants with lived experience of IPV took…
“A leopard cannot change its spot”
Reintegrating those once affiliated with terrorism poses significant challenges. Yet a gap remains in interventions to improve public attitudes, due to a poor understanding of the rationale behind reintegration programmes and the need for greater receptiveness to discourage reoffending. This study makes an original contribution to empirically test the likelihood of a novel intervention called Prosociality, Empathy and Awareness Communication to a…
Victims’ experiences of the causes of substance misuse and its crime and parenting nexus in Nigeria
Substance misuse is a prevalent global problem. Yet, there remains a gap in using the fusion of social learning theory (SLT) and differential association theory (DAT) to examine victims’ experiences of the causes of substance use and its crime and parenting nexus in Nigeria. Underpinned by a qualitative method, 40 participants were recruited from Delta State, Nigeria. Based on thematic analyses from the fusion of SLT and DAT, the study found that…
African and Caribbean Women Experiences of Gender-Based Violence and Help-Seeking From the Police in England and Wales
The study aims to examine African and Caribbean women’s lived experiences of gender-based violence (GBV) and help-seeking from the police in England and Wales. Thirty-eight participants with lived experiences of GBV were recruited. Data were analyzed using the unique fusion of intersectionality and labelling theories. It found that gendered inequalities reproduced through the intersection of systemic abuse, cultural manifestations, and poor finan…
Public attitudes and perceptions towards gender-based violence in Nigeria
Understanding how people learn and internalise social norms that reinforce gender-based violence (GBV), including their direct stimulus-response patterns and help-seeking from the police, remains understudied. We address this gap by examining public attitudes and perspectives on GBV and help-seeking using mixed-methods incorporating classical conditioning and social constructionist theories. Across Nigeria, 1160 respondents completed a survey-que…
Group-integrated cognitive behavioural therapy to aid affected communities victims’ reintegration of former Boko Haram members in Nigeria
Victims of affected communities’ experiences of a legal education plus trauma-informed therapy compared to a media orientation intervention to improve reintegration of former Boko Haram members in Nig…
Reintegrating former Boko Haram members and their families remains a crucial issue due to the affected communities’ resistance to their reintegration and stigma. This article is the first to adopt an interpretative phenomenological analysis to examine affected communities and victims’ experiences of a legal education plus trauma-informed therapy (LETIT) compared to media orientation (MO) in encouraging their attitude towards the positive reintegr…
Insecurity, Counterterrorism and the Use of Private Military and Security Companies in Nigeria
Insecurity and terrorism pose significant concerns in Nigeria. Yet, there is a paucity of research on citizens' and private security providers' (PSP) perceptions of Nigeria's response to insecurity and the use of Private Military and Security Companies (PMSCs). The study adopts a qualitative approach, and data was collected using semi-structured interviews with 63 participants, including PSP, non-governmental organisations and lay participants fr…
Legal Education-Informed Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (LiCBT) to improve victims’ confidence in the Nigerian police
Police accountability is essential for affected victims and public trust-building, yet there are limited interventions addressing this issue. A mixed method design was adopted to examine the feasibility, appropriateness, and acceptability of a Legal Education-informed Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (LiCBT) for improving victims’ confidence using 24 participants from Delta-State, Nigeria. Participants were assessed using the Legal-Consciousness-Que…
Improving affected victims and community reintegration of former Boko Haram terrorist defectors in Nigeria
Reintegrating defectors of terrorist groups into society is challenging due to community resistance and affected victims’ trauma. This article is the first to detail affected victims and community involvement in designing a trauma-informed cognitive behaviour therapy intervention to aid the reintegration of former Boko Haram members and defectors in Nigeria. Participants were recruited from Borno state, Nigeria. Informed by a participatory action…
Public perceptions and attitudes towards ex-offenders and their reintegration in Nigeria
Reintegrating ex-offenders into society poses a significant global challenge, yet, it is fundamental to reducing recidivism. Nevertheless, there is research paucity exploring public perceptions and attitudes towards ex-offenders and their reintegration in Nigeria. This study makes an original contribution, drawing on a mixed-method approach underpinned by positivist and interpretivist epistemology to understand attitudes towards ex-offenders’ rei…
Community perspectives of former terrorist combatants, militants and reintegration programmes in Nigeria
Women’s perceptions of domestic, intimate partner violence and the government’s interventions in Nigeria
Domestic violence, including intimate partner violence, increased exponentially following the Covid-19 pandemic. Nonetheless, there appears to be a paucity of research that draws on a social constructionist theoretical lens to explore women’s perspectives of the Nigerian government’s interventions addressing such violence. The study recruited 24 purposively selected female participants from Delta state, Nigeria. Informed by a social constructioni…
Reintegration of former Boko Haram members and combatants in Nigeria
Reintegration in conflict settings poses significant challenges. In Nigeria, while much emphasis is placed on deradicalising and rehabilitating former Boko Haram members, including combatants and their families, the community seems to receive minimal priority concerning the traumatic experience they face and its impact on limiting reintegration. This paper makes an original contribution by using an interpretative phenomenological analytical lens …
Rethinking reintegration in Nigeria
Since the emergence of Boko Haram and its terrorist activities in Nigeria, policy initiatives have included deradicalisation and reintegration of former combatants to curtail extremism and bolster stability. Central to deradicalisation is the efficacy of reintegration programmes. While much emphasis is placed on recidivism as a basis for determining the efficacy of reintegration programmes, studies on how communities perceive the reintegration of…
