Outdoor smoking in Nigeria
The high prevalence of outdoor smoking in the sample calls for urgent public health initiatives for intervention. Thus, outdoor bars are potential tobacco use intervention sites to minimize the health consequences of smoking
Prevalence of alcohol consumption and alcohol use disorders among outdoor drinkers in public open places in Nigeria
Outdoor-open space drinkers are likely to have AUD compared with the general population. Open space drinking has a huge public health implication because of the associated health risks and injuries
Assessment of the alcohol consumption among outdoor bar drinkers in Nigeria by qualitative methods
A high proportion of social drinkers in outdoor bars require intervention for their drinking behaviour. This is important because they have little or no information about the health hazards associated with excessive drinking. Presentation of these findings should contribute to increased awareness and improved response from the policy makers
Should Traffic Offenders Undergo Compulsory “Mental Test”
Translation of the 12-step alcoholic anonymous from English language to Yoruba language and its application within the Yoruba culture among patients with alcohol use disorder in Nigeria
The aims of this study were to translate the English version of the 12-step alcoholic anonymous (AA) to the Yoruba version and to compare among patients with alcohol use disorders (AUDs), which version would be associated with a higher participation in AA. After an initial translation of the English version of the AA to Yoruba version, 200 participants with AUDs were randomised into either group, matched by age and gender and enrolled in the 12-s…
Vitamin D Levels in Different Severity Groups of Schizophrenia
It could be concluded from this study that patients with schizophrenia have low plasma vitamin D level which does not appear to be associated with the severity of schizophrenia and type of antipsychotics. Therefore, regular screening for vitamin D status of patients with schizophrenia is suggested in order to allow for the institution of appropriate clinical intervention when necessary
Effectiveness of Alcohol, Smoking, and Substance Involvement Screening Test-Linked Brief Intervention on Harmful and Hazardous Alcohol Use in Nigerian Semirural Communities
There is a potential for CHEW-administered ASSIST-linked screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment for unhealthy alcohol use in Nigerian semirural communities. This is feasible considering serious dearth of addiction specialists in the country
Cultural aspects of mental health and mental health service delivery with a focus on Nigeria within a global community
With an endless range of subgroups and individual variations, culture bears upon what all people bring to the clinical setting. Culture could account for health-seeking behaviour, type of services and support system and variations in how people communicate their health concerns. Culture may underlie presentation of sets of symptoms that are peculiar to certain societies – culture-bound syndromes. Culture also influences the meanings that people i…
Cannabis Use and Associated Harms among Schizophrenia Patients in a Nigerian Clinical Setting
Cannabis use was prevalent among patients with schizophrenia and was associated with health risks. Thus, routine screening for cannabis use and brief intervention is suggested to be integrated into care for adolescents and adults with schizophrenia
Community-Based Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral for Treatment for Unhealthy Tobacco Use
A one-time BI with a booster at 3 months had a significant effect on tobacco use in persons living in community settings. This finding suggests a need for promoting the adoption of this intervention for tobacco use in rural and semi-rural community settings
Profile and Determinants of Disability in Psychotic Disorders in Nigeria
Medical Co-morbidities Among Patients with Severe Mental Illnesses in a Community Health Facility in Nigeria
Expert panel's modification and concurrent validity of the Teacher Stress Inventory among selected secondary school teachers in Nigeria
The Teacher Stress Inventory (TSI) is an instrument used for assessing occupational stress among teachers but has not been adapted or validated for use in Nigeria. This study aimed to modify and adapt the TSI for use in Nigeria and also assess its reliability and validity. An expert panel was constituted to modify the original version of the TSI. Thereafter, both the original and the modified versions were applied to 471 teachers from 15 schools …
Quality of Life in Psychosis
Prophecy or schizophrenia
Previous literature has suggested certain similarities between prophets and psychotics. The main aim of this study was to compare the prevalence and profile of psychopathologies and quality of life among psychotics and selected “prophets” in a Nigerian population. The study design was a comparative study. Profile of psychopathologies and quality of life were examined among 168 schizophrenia patients and “prophets”. Analysis was carried out by SPS…
