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…
“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…
A multi-centred pilot randomised controlled trial of learning through play plus culturally adapted cognitive behaviour therapy for treating postnatal depression in Nigerian women

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…

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 …
Response of Lower Sacramento River phytoplankton to high-ammonium wastewater effluent
Since the 1980s, the San Francisco Bay Delta ecosystem has experienced large declines in primary production. Hypothesized reasons for this decline include (1) suppression of nitrate (NO3−) uptake, and thus phytoplankton growth, due to high concentrations of ammonium (NH4+), and (2) wastewater NH4+-induced changes in phytoplankton community composition away from large-celled diatoms. These twin hypotheses implicate NH4+ loading from the Sacramento…
